Why these settings

The Yamaha Pacifica 112V neck single-coil has higher treble clarity and lower output than Slash's Alnico II humbucker, so roll the guitar tone knob down to 6 to tame high-end harshness. On the Spider V 20 MkII (which lacks a physical presence knob), we push midrange to 7 and set treble to 5 to emulate the fat, vocal midrange bark of a Marshall Silver Jubilee. Gain is set to 7 on the Brit crunch amp model to deliver endless sustain without collapsing into digital fizz.

PRO TIPSlash achieves that famous 'woman tone' flute-like quality by picking over the 24th fret position with a heavy pick while digging in with the side of the thumb for harmonic bloom.
