November Rain amp settings — Positive Grid Spark MINI

The Guns N' Roses guitar tone for “November Rain”, dialed in for a Positive Grid Spark MINI with a Gibson Les Paul Studio. Studio version, Use Your Illusion I (1991) — iconic outro solo

Original rig

Gibson Les Paul Standard (Kris Derrig '59 replica, neck pickup, tone rolled to ~5-6) → Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 100W Head → Boss CE-2 (ballad sections) → studio rack delay and plate reverb

Singing, vocal-like lead tone with warm sustain, rounded highs, rich mid push, and ambient studio delay/reverb trails

Why these settings

The Spark MINI uses the onboard Silver 2555 model to authentically recreate Slash's Marshall Silver Jubilee lead channel. Mids are boosted to 8 and treble pulled to 5 to deliver vocal thickness without harshness through the small 2-inch speakers. The Spark MINI faceplate lacks a physical presence knob, so upper-end smoothness is dialed via the amp EQ and the rolled-off guitar tone. Clean intro/verse: switch to Black Duo (Fender model) with onboard chorus block engaged.

PRO TIPRolling your Les Paul neck tone knob back to 5 is the absolute linchpin of this tone; pick with the soft, rounded edge of a heavy pick slightly away from the bridge to maximize the flute-like, singing attack.
