01Digital Delay (Spark onboard delay block)
Spark onboard digital delay block set to ~350ms subtle slap/spread for Slash lead sustain
Slash tracked this iconic Skyliners ballad cover using neck pickup warmth through his signature mid-heavy Marshall setup. On the Spark 40, select the Plexiglas or British 800 model, bumping mids to 7 while keeping treble and gain around 5 to 7 to prevent digital top-end bite. With your Slash Les Paul's warm Alnico II pickups, rolling the neck tone knob slightly off wide open locks in that flute-like singing lead response. For the acoustic/clean rhythm backing switch to bridge pickup and volume rolled to 5.
