The HeadRush Prime features a direct Silver Jubilee model ('87 MS Jubilee) that accurately replicates Slash's Use Your Illusion rig. Your Jackson Kelly humbuckers have a modern, tight high-end attack, so rolling the guitar tone knob slightly back to 8 and keeping the amp treble at 5 rounds off any ceramic-style harshness to mirror the warmer Alnico II PAF response. Clean intro/verse: switch amp block to Roland JC-120 Clean or roll guitar volume down to 4 on the neck pickup.
