Why these settings

The '65 Twin Reverb is an ultra-clean, scooped American platform with no master gain, so the British drive block in AmpliTube 5 serves as the core gain engine while the Twin's volume stays low and clean. The Twin's bright switch is kept off and treble dialed back to prevent high-end harshness. Active humbuckers produce higher output and hotter transients than Slash's vintage Alnico IIs, so the guitar tone knob is rolled back to 7 and overdrive gain kept low to preserve smooth, flute-like sustain. Outro fast solo: switch pickup selector to bridge, roll tone up to 10.

PRO TIPFlip to the neck pickup and roll the guitar's tone control down to around 7 to shave off the initial pick transient; this produces Slash's trademark 'woman tone' flute-like attack while letting sustained bends sing effortlessly.
