Why these settings

Slash used his neck Alnico II humbucker into a cranked Marshall Jubilee for this soulful solo. The Tagima TW61 features P90 pickups, which naturally have more high-end bite and less low-mid thickness than a Les Paul humbucker, so rolling the guitar tone to 7 and boosting amp mids to 7 softens the transient snap into Slash's signature 'woman tone' warmth. The internal Tube Screamer block is dialed as a clean boost to deliver sustain without adding unwanted buzz.

PRO TIPPick smoothly over the neck pickup with the fleshier edge of a heavy pick, and keep the tone control rolled back to 6-7 to remove P90 glassy bite and capture Slash's fluty, rounded neck-pickup vocal qualities.
