Why these settings

The Mooer GE100 UK 800 amp model captures the modded Marshall preamp crunch. Pushing the mids to 8 provides the signature vocal sustain, while pulling the guitar neck pickup tone knob down to 7 eliminates high-end bite to emulate Slash's warm 'woman tone' intro. Rhythm switch: flip to bridge pickup and roll tone up to 10 for the hard-rocking verses and choruses.

PRO TIPSlash played the entire iconic intro on the neck pickup with the tone control rolled back to roughly 6-7, picking cleanly across the arpeggio pattern right above the neck pickup for maximum body.
