01M-Vave Tank-G / Cuvave (Plexi/High-Gain Amp Model block)
Set Cuvave amp block to a Marshall/British high-gain model (e.g. MS800/Lead). Acts as the primary dirt source into the clean Hot Rod Deluxe.
02M-Vave Cuvave Delay block
Subtle digital/analog delay set to around 300ms for studio lead depth.
The Hot Rod Deluxe IV has a scooped-mid Fender voicing and sharp 6kHz top end, whereas Slash tracked through a mid-heavy, cranked Marshall Jubilee/JCM800. Keep the Fender on the Clean channel at low gain to avoid harsh double-gain, pushing midrange to 7 and cutting treble to 4 while letting the Cuvave British drive block supply the singing Marshall saturation. If your S1H is an HSS configuration, use the neck single-coil with the tone knob rolled down to 4 to capture Slash's hollow, flute-like 'woman tone'. For the bridge-pickup solo climax, flick to bridge pickup and open the guitar tone knob to 10.
