November Rain amp settings — Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb

The Guns N' Roses guitar tone for “November Rain”, dialed in for a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb with a Pulse Stratocaster. Studio version, Use Your Illusion I (1991) — outro solo

Original rig

Kris Derrig '59 Les Paul replica (Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros, neck pickup) → Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 / JCM800 2203 → 1960 4x12 cab with V30s, studio plate reverb, short analog delay

Singing, violin-like sustain with rich midrange, smooth rolled-off highs, expressive and vocal lead tone — not heavily saturated, sustain comes from touch and vibrato

01Tank G (Overdrive/Distortion)

This is your primary gain source — the Tone Master stays clean, the Tank G provides the Marshall-like crunch. Roll tone back to avoid Strat ice-pick.

02Delay (RECOMMENDED — not currently owned)

RECOMMENDED — 400-450ms analog-style delay with 1-2 repeats at ~25% mix. Boss DD-3 or TC Electronic Flashback work well. Adds the sustain and space critical to this solo.

Why these settings

The original uses a mid-forward Marshall with PAF-style humbuckers; your Tone Master Deluxe Reverb is a scooped, bright Fender clean platform and your Strat has single coils. Compensating by pushing mids to 8 (vs original ~7), cutting treble to 5 (vs original ~6.5), and rolling your guitar tone to 6 to tame single-coil brightness. The Tank G handles all gain duties — amp stays fully clean. Added reverb to 5 to approximate the studio plate sound.

PRO TIPThe soul of this solo is vibrato and phrasing, not gain. Focus on slow, wide finger vibrato and let notes breathe — Slash's sustain came from playing loud in the room and controlling feedback, not from pedal tricks. Use your neck pickup's natural warmth and don't rush the bends.
