Why these settings

The Soran Dual Stomp is an unrecognized modeler - select the closest Marshall Jubilee or JCM800 amp model available. Slash's Jubilee is mid-forward and responds to volume knob cleanup; set gain moderate (5) so rolling guitar volume to 6-7 gives the cleaner verse tone. Mid pushed to 7 captures the Jubilee's vocal bark. If no Jubilee model exists, use a British crunch/Marshall type.

PRO TIPSlash's secret on this track is volume knob dynamics - keep amp gain moderate and roll guitar volume to 6 for the verse crunch, full 10 for the solo. The neck pickup with tone at 7 gives that thick, singing lead tone without ice-pick highs.
