Wonderful Slippery Thing amp settings — Mooer Ge1000
The Guthrie Govan guitar tone for “Wonderful Slippery Thing”, dialed in for a Mooer Ge1000 with a Schecter Omen 6. Studio version, Erotic Cakes (2006) — main lead/groove melody
Cornford RK100 / MK50H tube amp into 4x12 cab, Suhr Modern guitar (bridge humbucker / coil-split), subtle analog-style delay
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 6 |
| Bass | 5 |
| Mid | 7 |
| Treble | 6 |
| Presence | 5 |
| Reverb | 3 |
| Master | 7 |
01Overdrive (Pure Boost / RC style block)
Clean boost block in front of amp block to tighten lows and add fluid touch sensitivity without mush
02Digital Delay (Tape / Analog block)
Post-amp/FX block set to roughly 380ms for subtle ambient sustain
The Cornford tone on Erotic Cakes relies on prominent, vocal low-mids and power-amp breath rather than high-gain preamp fizz. On the GE1000's British/Cornford amp model, keep preamp gain moderate and push the mid control to 7 while using an onboard clean boost block to simulate Guthrie's touch dynamics. Your Schecter Omen 6 has hotter ceramic humbuckers than Guthrie's PAF-style Suhr pickups, so roll the guitar volume down to 9 and tone to 8 to shave off harsh top-end bite. For the funky clean-comp verses, roll guitar volume down to 6 or switch to middle split position.
