Why these settings

The Cuvave Cube Baby uses a 3-band EQ and preamps, lacking a physical presence knob. Model 4 provides the Marshall-style upper-mid bite of Slash's modified Super Lead. Because the Giannini G101 ceramic pickups can be slightly sharp in the top end compared to Slash's warmer Alnico II humbuckers, Treble is capped at 7 and Mid is pushed to 8 to maintain thick body without harsh fizz.

PRO TIPSlash's pick attack on the intro and main riff is extremely heavy using a thick 2.0mm pick; dig hard into the bridge pickup strings close to the bridge saddles to get that characteristic percussive bite.
