01Delay (your reverb/delay unit)
Subtle slapback delay for solos only — 250-350ms range. Keep it understated to thicken leads without washing out the tone. Bypass for rhythm sections.
02Tube Screamer style overdrive (TS9 / TS808 clone)
RECOMMENDED — not currently owned. Used as a mid-boost into the dirty amp, not as primary gain source. This will help your Vault Frenzy achieve the thick, compressed midrange punch of Slash's tone. A Boss SD-1 or Joyo Vintage Overdrive are budget alternatives.
03Reverb (your reverb unit)
Very light room reverb if desired — the original is relatively dry. Set to 0-2 for authenticity.
The Vault Frenzy 20 is a budget solid-state amp with less natural compression and midrange warmth than Slash's tube Marshalls. To compensate: mid pushed to 8 (vs original 7) to add body, treble dropped to 5 (vs 6) to avoid harshness, presence cut to 4 to tame fizz. A TS-style pedal in front is strongly recommended to achieve the compressed, singing lead quality — without it, the tone will lack sustain and thickness on solos.
