The GP-100's UK 800 block captures the modified Super Lead mid-gain crunch nicely when pushed. Your Cort CR200 with classic humbuckers provides the right Les Paul response, but rolling the guitar tone knob back to 7 smooths the attack to get Slash's signature flute-like vocal character. Switch to the bridge pickup with guitar tone at 10 for the main distorted rhythm and outro solo.
