01Zoom G6: Delay Block (Analog / Tape model)
Placed post-amp block in the G6 signal chain to replicate Slash's studio rack delay
Using the Zoom G6's MS 800 model provides the core modded JCM800 bite, while pushing the midrange to 8 replicates Slash's iconic vocal sustain. Rolling your Les Paul neck tone knob back to 4 removes modern high-end snap and dials in the exact 'woman tone' flutey response. For the heavier bridge-pickup verse/solo sections: switch to the bridge pickup and roll tone up to 10.
