Why these settings

The Spark MINI's high-gain Marshall/SLO models provide the smooth, compressed sustain of Slash's Silver Jubilee without needing external drive. Keep the amp treble centered and let the neck pickup with tone rolled down to 5 provide that creamy, vocal 'woman tone' attack. Onboard delay and plate reverb blocks recreate the studio production depth. For the clean acoustic/piano verse sections, roll guitar volume down to 4 or switch to a clean amp preset with subtle chorus.

PRO TIPSlash's vocal-like phrasing comes from picking gently near the neck with tone rolled back to around 5, letting wide, vibrato-heavy finger bends sustain freely.
