Dialled it in on a friend's Axe FX II. Perfection if I ever saw it.
im not here to make an offence but you said that you didnt know anyone who has an axe fx in another thread when i said that you shouldnt be lazy and go try the unit yourself and now as i see you could try the tweak the tone you want instead of criticize many people who tried to help.Dialled it in on a friend's Axe FX II. Perfection if I ever saw it.
Have you listened to the original recording?IMHO, I thought it sounded pretty bad. But, I'm not sure how close it comes to his tone. It may be in the same ballpark, but I still hear some clear differences. It doesn't snarl like Slash's tone (if that makes sense).
Yeah. After I made my first post, I went and listened to the Guns n Roses recording to make a direct comparison instead of just going off of my memory. Then, I came back and made that second post.Have you listened to the original recording?
Okay, so you're saying the original has more "snarl" than my attempt, and you're being serious?Yeah. After I made my first post, I went and listened to the Guns n Roses recording to make a direct comparison instead of just going off of my memory. Then, I came back and made that second post.
Yes.Okay, so you're saying the original has more "snarl" than my attempt, and you're being serious?
Now for the pertinent question; can you get half as close as this?Yes.
I don't know. Why do you ask?Now for the pertinent question; can you get half as close as this?

If that tone seriously sounds more like a Mesa to you than a JCM 800, I hope you don't expect anyone to take you seriously.Its not an awful tone, but it doesn't sound much like Slash's AFD tone to me either, sorry to say. The overall voicing just sounds way different. Slash has kind of a thin, cutting tone, with a lot less gain. Doesn't sound great in isolation, but works great in the band mix.
The tone in the clip has way too much, for lack of a better work, grind. Sounds a bit more like an earlier modeler doing a Mesa-based metal tone. Not a GnR Marshall rock tone
I just found this:
Is that the point of reference?

Or this?
If it's the album, I think you're running with more bass and gain than either the left or the right channel. If it's that isolated track I think you're just a little bass heavy. Easy enough to do a Tone Match against that isolated track but the source is kind of shit and who knows if that's really the GnR track or someone's take on it?
It's not a bad tone though. Sounds like a hot JCM to me.
