Title: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup... Post by: electricmage on March 21, 2005, 03:04:55 AM so it sounds to me like slash is running an eq boost with the mids on high. Is he boosting the guitar into the amp, or is he eq-ing the hole stup with an FX loop? and how can he boost his solos if he is using and eq all the time? a volume pedal maybe? help me out here darkburst.

he use to run a Boss EQ GE-7 in the loop with delay. More recently he just changed to a different EQ in which I forget the name right now. bp JCM800's have a fx loop right?

"A Bradshaw/Custom Audio Electronics splitter/switcher selects between two pairs of Slash signature model Marshall JCM heads - one for dirty the other for clean. In one of the effects loops sits a Rocktron Hush IICX noise gate, along with an MXR 10 band? EQ (for lead boost) and a Boss DD-3 delay. The other loop is dry exept for the Hush."
That extract is from an interview with Adam Day, hope it helps? : ok: :smoking: Izzy? :smoking: Title: Re: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup...

And to answer a previous post; he new JCM800 reissue has a built in FX loop. Sadly, the 80's does not, as mine does not. But on the good side, mine is all vintage, not some reissue. I don't think those things sound that good anyways, tried one at Sam Ash... Title: Re: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup... Post by: Darkburst on March 21, 2005, 09:07:11 PM The EQ is only turned on during solos. I think it'll work as a boost either way but will sound slightly different through the loop.
Title: Re: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup... Post by: electricmage on March 21, 2005, 10:23:28 PM thats kind of nutty. He gets such high Mids through his amp. I'm attempting to achieve a certain mid boost when using the neck pickup to make it more potent, but it doesn't even out the bridge to well... boosting any mid and teble sliders gives me a thin sound, but when i boost the bass, the neck pickup presence diminishes.

Bass-MID-Treble, sliders left to right? Title: Re: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup... Post by: sg4eva on April 19, 2005, 08:40:09 AM Don't forget that he also uses the EQ boost to get some wild feedback during the songs.
Title: Re: So i'm confused about the mid boost with slash's setup... Post by: MXR on September 23, 2005, 06:34:56 AM Hi just talked to Adam (Slash's tech) by e-mail,about Slash pedal settings....
MXR 10 band EQ and Boss DD-3 on effect loop. MXR setting: An upside down smile, means a midrange boost fading off at high treble and bass sliders, with gain slider at +6 and volume sliders at 0; Boss Delay is setting as a slapback with level at 11 o'clock, feedback at 10 o' clock, delay time at 8 o' clock, and mode at 800 ms. Hope it helps. Mario |
