Why these settings

The PRS Custom 24 neck pickup is slightly brighter and clearer than Slash's loose Alnico II humbuckers, so rolling the guitar tone knob to 6 warms up the attack. The Tank G's Marshall-style amp model provides the thick preamp crunch while keeping treble moderate to avoid high-end fizziness. Main solo transition: switch to the bridge pickup with the tone knob back up to 8-10 for extra bite.

PRO TIPUse the neck pickup with the tone rolled back specifically for the iconic intro arpeggios to get Slash's vocal 'woman tone', picking with a firm, consistent down-up motion directly over the neck pickup.
