Why these settings

The Laney Cub 12R is a British EL84 tube combo with plenty of natural midrange and vintage crunch similar to Slash's Marshall Silver Jubilee. To match the warmth of Slash's 4x12 cab on a single 12-inch speaker, keep the bass at 6 and pull Laney's natural mid-bark slightly down to 6 while pushing preamp gain to 7 for smooth sustain. Note that the Laney Cub 12R uses a Tone control rather than a dedicated Presence knob, so Presence is omitted.

PRO TIPFlip to the neck pickup and roll the guitar's neck tone knob back to around 7 to eliminate harsh pick attack and get Slash's signature rounded, flute-like vocal sustain on the solo bends.
