4:04 What is the ''100W driver'' that Adam Day said? is it the Talk Box..the amp head or the amp cabinet? i want to get one but i'm worried about blowing my amp or not being able to use it..
@slashthebestone ,,,, the speaker in the talk box is the driver they are referring to.. its not a speaker per se its a driver from a high frequency horn that is channelled through the tube and resonates in your mouth which the mic then sends that resonated sound to a amp to be amplified... the jubilee is 100 watt and the heil used to be 50 watt driver so it was too much , now as Adam mentioned they are 100 watt drivers so sit well with the amp.
@brickford27 Thanks A LOT man! really! so i can buy this Dunlop Heil Talk Box..i just need to have an amp head and 2 amp cabinets..one for the Talk Box and the other for the rest of my other pedals..right? will this work with my Marshall MG 30 and my Peavey 15 Watt?
@slashthebestone its a funny sort of set up to use a real heil talk box and its not a cheap effect to have as it requires more than just the talk box itself , if i remember correctly it plugs between your amp and speaker cab and when you step on it it cuts the speaker cab off. Resonation is sent through the tube which will resonate in your mouth but you must be standing in front of the mic as its the mics job to amplified the resonated sounds , so really you need a seperate rig (continued>>>)
(continued) So really you need a seperate rig which constist of a mic stand and a good mic and a amplifier for just the mic which is where the effect will come from.
you may find that this is a lot of work to find you may not even like the effect so if you have a Peavey 15 watt set it ultra clean as possible and put a mic in to the input. put the heil box between your MG head and cab
start slow and low volume and just experiment , if you find you like the heil box then you upgrade your gear
@brickford27 Man thanks A LOT again! do you have a Talk Box? But how can i put the Talk Box between my MG 30 and the cab? my MG 30 is a solid state amp combo! its not a tube head you know? so the Talk Box won't work right? It needs an amp head..an amp cabinet and a mic with an amp for it, right?
@slashthebestone I had a heil talk box about seven years ago and it was a old school one too , i found whilst the effect was good it was an effect that could be over used and also its a skill to play one in its own right, trying to make the sweep sounds by altering the tube end whilst in your mouth and using your mouth to get different resonate or muted-ish sound is no easy trick. Need alot of mouth wash to keep tube end clean etc
@slashthebestone i didnt think you had the combo , thought you might of had the head , its not going to work with the combo version and it doesnt matter if its solid state or valves, the talk box will work with both. Yeah the basic set up you describe is the basic rig needed to effectively use a talk box. Amp head >talk box>cab & mic > clean amp
@brickford27 NOW i get it man! thanks! now i know i can't buy one hahaha at least not for now =) wow! old school stuff are the best! yea..i never used one..but i can imagine its not going to be easy! But it does sound awasome and it can be used to a lot things..not only leads..you can do a cool rhythm part with the Talk Box too =) cheers mate!
@slashthebestone .. i am not sure what is ment by "other for the rest of my other pedals" you should be able to run your "in front of amp pedals such as distortion/ tube screamers or compressors etc thru your MG and other modulated pedals like choruses flangers thru the amps effect loop if it has one? the heil talk box will go between the amp speaker out to cab.
@Alu122112211221 thats true but whats with the goldtop from the live gig in 1992 in tokyo ? someone told me it was a 54 Goldtop but i think its a 57 darkback ?
I dont know i've never seen slash with that guitar, i don't think i've seen him with those pick ups either. I don't know much about slash, but from his past and current guitars, i think a '57 dark back would suit him better.
someone on a musicforum told me that, because i ask what goldtop modell slash uses on this live gig and he told me that this goldtop is a 54er les paul goldtop with humbuckers (the openings were frased or something)
but "fuck" i brought a new amp 1 month ago :D ah there will be 2 models of the guitar released right ? one epiphone and one gibson i thought am i right ?
@Aoloso I have no idea. I am just going based on what Slash twittered.
For the last two sig guitars however, the tobacco sunburst and the goldtop, they were epiphone versions, but the sig of his 88 LP standard, there was no epiphone version.
@GibsonLesPaul1319 it wasnt even a gibson, it was a copy. THats what pissed me off when Gibson built the appitite signature. Its basically a trans amber les paul with seymour duncan pickups. Slap a 10k price tag on it and call it a slash signature. PFFT.
He has an A/B/Y switch that Adam Day operates behind the scenes, along with all of Slash's other pedals, except for the expression-based pedals like his wah and talkbox.
@DocBrewster An A/B/Y is a pedal that switches the output of the guitar, so that he can use more than one different head during a song. Regarding his pedals, apart from the wah and talkbox, the tech turns them on and off and adjusts settings when needed backstage. This is a fairly standard practice for professional guitarists.
@DocBrewster It depends on which way you look at it, haha. Often the professionals don't have to worry about pedals, so their performance might benefit from that.
@GuitarManMilaneus Maybe its like motorsport (which i understand a lot better) - in that you could say Formula 1 is easier than Formula 4 cos the cars are better (analogous to better guitars with perfect action and pickups and better amp tone etc) and the drivers dont even have to change gears anymore like they used to in their formative days in F4(analogous to guitarists having pedals controlled by a tech guy)- but on the other hand- the F1 drivers are those who could do all that in F4 anyway!
In other words - sure in some ways it becomes easier as they become pro - but its the guys who were the best amateurs anyway - so its really just taking over the "housekeeping chores" to free them up to do what they do best.
Having said that - in both fields its kind of more satisfying to see the best of the best doing it all themselves.
the les paul he had with him was the single best playing, lowest action one I have ever played that's for sure! it was not a "slash" model though, just a 10 top cherry sunburst standard.
@crossmyass oh wow that must have been a real treat to play.. i've never seen him with that one tho, mabe its on his personal collection knowing that he has tons of pauls..
Adam Day is "the" tech lol, he techs for many people including slash, he kind of switches back and forth. When one will be in the studio, he will be out on tour with another performer. I went to a journey show during the summer, (Adam is Neal Schon's tech) and i got to meet him after the show, he is awesome
contact me if you want... or go on Slash's forum where I posted his old and recent rig... there's a beautiful Marshall italian forum where I posted everything from Slash to Zakk Wylde. Cheers guys :)
It's the prototype for the signature, and of course he isn't gonna sell his guitar. The finish isn't black and yellow either, there genius, it's tobacco burst, which is brown and "yellow" if that's what you'd call it.
So, on UYI 1 and 2, he used a JCM 800. He has a real good tone. he only used a 800, right? On AFD, did he also use a JCM 800? I heard it was a 1959T but a JCM 800 also. I heard he used a JCM 800 on every album. I think he had a better tone in GN'R than in VR. What do you think is a better tone: AFD OR UYI? I kinda like UYI more, but I love AFD.
They both had awesome tones, its the music in AFD that makes the tone more raw (the 1959T is why), Paradise City the last rhythm section after the drum break is sick
AFD period: BC Rich guitars, Jackson guitars, Gibson Flying V, Firebird copy, Chris Derrig 1959 copy, Max Baranet 1959 copy + Marshall Plexi 1959T modded by Tim Caswell and an old Marshall 4x12 with G12H30 (now Duff's property of it and still using with Loaded)
UYI period: various guitars + hotrodded Marshall JCM800 modded by Frank Levi with 6550 + 2 Marshall 4x12 cabs loaded with greenbacks and an attenuator (see on Hey Stoopid video)
GN'R Lies period: BC Rich guitars (Mockingbird, Walrocks etc.), Jackson guitars (soloist, one of them is black & white), Gibson Les Paul for rhythm parts (Steve Hunter of Alice Cooper was original owner) but had lots, lots, lots of problems with tunning.. + a rental Marshall JMP stock and various BOSS and MXR pedals
Spghetti Incident period: lots of guitars like Gibson vintage and replicas, Fender, Zemaitis etc + Marshall JC800 and same stuff used for UYI + Jubillee heads for clean parts.
I read that the only mod that Slash did to the JCM 800 was put in 6550 tubes. I'm 99% sure he didn't hot rod it. If you have a page that says he did, that would help a lot. THANK YOU! :D Also, I thought Jubilees were used after GNR?
wow u lot are like fuckin babys! who cares what tubes he uses! he has fat sound and thts that u could put him through an orange amp hed sound the same! same with any amp and any tubes
In the past, the amps "Used to be screaming" but during the recording of the Use Your Illusion albums, Slash switched to an old JCM 800 with 65/50 output tubes and set the preamp on 2, the master output on 8, and linked this to a Marshall 100-watt cab. The result was essentially all output distortion and output gain. This was a different sound that what was normally associated with the guitarist and subsequently, the Slash model was added during the Snakepit era.(adam day interview read!!!!)
In the GnR days adam would change the channels for him so slash was free to run around , the only pedal he would have on the stage was a wah in them days.
I'm not sure if Adam covered this in the interview and if I missed it, but does anyone know how Slash changes from clean to distortion mid-song live? In older performances, it almost looks like he either uses the toggle on the guitar, a switch in behind the back of the guitar or Adam phyiscally changes it backstage. Anyone know for sure?
He didn't use the Jubilee for Use Your Illusions. Post your source or shut up. He never used the Jubilee/Slash sig till "You Got No Right" on VR's debut album Contraband.
He used the Jubilees for his live sound since 1988 and only in the studio from 2003-present with Velvet Revolver.
Every Slash record features a JCM 800 blended with another amp, except on USe Your Illusions which featured ONLY a JCM 800 soley!. "Source.... Adam Day Himself!".
I dare anyone to do a google search for Information DIRECT from Adam Day or Mike Clink that says Slash used a Jubilee on the Use Your Illusion Albums.
You WONT FIND IT. Read Slash's book he talks about the amps he used all though the Appetite Years are fuzzy for him the UYI years up he knows exactly what he used., also this information is backed by his Guitar tech Adam Day.
If you believe anyone other than Adam Day then you can fuck off you ignorant bastard Pugachev.
The sound on "Don't Damn Me" is what started my quest for Distortion in my playing. I was suprised that it was as simple as a 2203 head jcm 800 and a single 4x12 cab.
i have EL34's in my 2203x, i've never tried the 6550s so i can't really tell you. What i can tell you is that you absolutely CAN get any good GNR Slash tone with an 800, it just takes some EQ tweaking (it will never sound exactly the same but it gets very similar). The Slash signature amp is a modified Silver Jube, which is a modified JCM800.
Flipsy87, other than using 4 EL-34's and 3 12 AX7 Pre Amp tubes the Jubilee and JCM 800 have nothing in common. With that Logic a DSL-100 is close too eh? NOPE!
Besides were you pretty much deaf when Adam said himself that the Jubilee wasn't a moddified 800? lol
I'm not sure, but i think he used 6550s his whole career until they made the JCM Slash, which featured EL34s. I can guarantee he used a JCM 800 with 6550 output tubes when making UYI. Other than using EL34s, nowadays he also uses KT66s in the new Vintage Modern (as you can see in this video)
yeah look the cmnt i left under ttok it of adam day interview for Use your Illusion it was A JCM 800 with 65/50 output tubes. He would set master volume at 8 and pre-amp at 2 it gave a different sound than pre-amp 8 and master 2
No, thats not correct. Slash uses 6550 tubes on a modded JCM 800 he uses on all his rythm work, this is the same amp he used from UYI to the present. Trust me, Im an expert on this subject.
I've heard Day say on many occasions that it was a JCM 800. I know on every album Slash used a JCM 800, including AFD. It wasn't the main amp, but it was used.
he didnt use the jube at all for AFD and the tour because is wasnt available at the time, he instead used a modded amp that he had hired from a company and claimed it was stolen so he could use it (his roadie fucked up and it was eventually returned) George Lynch also used this amp and had some his own amps modified....THIS MOD IS STILL AVAILABLE TODAY FROM THE SAME PERSON WHO DID IT FOR S.I.R
I got the tone settings from an Adam Day Interview that was on "belowempty. com" the previously official fan page of Velvet Revolver. Adam comments how slash uses more pre amp nowdays to get his gain and that in the UYI era he used to turn his amps up to 8 on the volume and the settings I mentioned :)
absolutely NO, attenuators fuck with your amp's tone, it's only use is to keep your amp at room level without getting that grainy low output tone you find in these high output amps.
Dude, you are totally wrong, the jcm 800 is modded, it was called the SIR stock 34 and it was modded by the famous Frank Levi. Not to be confused with the SIR stock 36 and 39 amps which where modded plexis. Trust me, I know Frank Levi, I know most of the guys that have worked on Slash's gear. Its because of people like you that continue to spread misinformation; that the internet has become unreliable for accurate information.
Wow am I wrong Slashsound? where did you get your incorrect information from?
Adam Day says himself that it is a Stock JCM 800 with 6550 output tubes. So I am putting stock in Adam Day the guy who set the rig up in the studio over YOU, who has information totally taken out of thin air.

DocBrewster 1 year ago
@DocBrewster It depends on which way you look at it, haha. Often the professionals don't have to worry about pedals, so their performance might benefit from that.
GuitarManMilaneus 1 year ago
@GuitarManMilaneus Maybe its like motorsport (which i understand a lot better) - in that you could say Formula 1 is easier than Formula 4 cos the cars are better (analogous to better guitars with perfect action and pickups and better amp tone etc) and the drivers dont even have to change gears anymore like they used to in their formative days in F4(analogous to guitarists having pedals controlled by a tech guy)- but on the other hand- the F1 drivers are those who could do all that in F4 anyway!
DocBrewster 1 year ago
In other words - sure in some ways it becomes easier as they become pro - but its the guys who were the best amateurs anyway - so its really just taking over the "housekeeping chores" to free them up to do what they do best.
Having said that - in both fields its kind of more satisfying to see the best of the best doing it all themselves.

the les paul he had with him was the single best playing, lowest action one I have ever played that's for sure! it was not a "slash" model though, just a 10 top cherry sunburst standard.

Adam Day is "the" tech lol, he techs for many people including slash, he kind of switches back and forth. When one will be in the studio, he will be out on tour with another performer. I went to a journey show during the summer, (Adam is Neal Schon's tech) and i got to meet him after the show, he is awesome

It's the prototype for the signature, and of course he isn't gonna sell his guitar. The finish isn't black and yellow either, there genius, it's tobacco burst, which is brown and "yellow" if that's what you'd call it.

if u want a classic example of the 800 tone he got, listen to the guitar solo on the song You Could Be Mine
flipsy87 2 years ago
So, on UYI 1 and 2, he used a JCM 800. He has a real good tone. he only used a 800, right? On AFD, did he also use a JCM 800? I heard it was a 1959T but a JCM 800 also. I heard he used a JCM 800 on every album. I think he had a better tone in GN'R than in VR. What do you think is a better tone: AFD OR UYI? I kinda like UYI more, but I love AFD.
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago
They both had awesome tones, its the music in AFD that makes the tone more raw (the 1959T is why), Paradise City the last rhythm section after the drum break is sick
flipsy87 2 years ago
AFD period: BC Rich guitars, Jackson guitars, Gibson Flying V, Firebird copy, Chris Derrig 1959 copy, Max Baranet 1959 copy + Marshall Plexi 1959T modded by Tim Caswell and an old Marshall 4x12 with G12H30 (now Duff's property of it and still using with Loaded)
UYI period: various guitars + hotrodded Marshall JCM800 modded by Frank Levi with 6550 + 2 Marshall 4x12 cabs loaded with greenbacks and an attenuator (see on Hey Stoopid video)
stemean 2 years ago
GN'R Lies period: BC Rich guitars (Mockingbird, Walrocks etc.), Jackson guitars (soloist, one of them is black & white), Gibson Les Paul for rhythm parts (Steve Hunter of Alice Cooper was original owner) but had lots, lots, lots of problems with tunning.. + a rental Marshall JMP stock and various BOSS and MXR pedals
Spghetti Incident period: lots of guitars like Gibson vintage and replicas, Fender, Zemaitis etc + Marshall JC800 and same stuff used for UYI + Jubillee heads for clean parts.
stemean 2 years ago
I read that the only mod that Slash did to the JCM 800 was put in 6550 tubes. I'm 99% sure he didn't hot rod it. If you have a page that says he did, that would help a lot. THANK YOU! :D Also, I thought Jubilees were used after GNR?
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago
wow u lot are like fuckin babys! who cares what tubes he uses! he has fat sound and thts that u could put him through an orange amp hed sound the same! same with any amp and any tubes
goinrealymadish 2 years ago
In the past, the amps "Used to be screaming" but during the recording of the Use Your Illusion albums, Slash switched to an old JCM 800 with 65/50 output tubes and set the preamp on 2, the master output on 8, and linked this to a Marshall 100-watt cab. The result was essentially all output distortion and output gain. This was a different sound that what was normally associated with the guitarist and subsequently, the Slash model was added during the Snakepit era.(adam day interview read!!!!)
slimyesli 2 years ago
In the GnR days adam would change the channels for him so slash was free to run around , the only pedal he would have on the stage was a wah in them days.
BLackwellvocguitar 2 years ago
I'm not sure if Adam covered this in the interview and if I missed it, but does anyone know how Slash changes from clean to distortion mid-song live? In older performances, it almost looks like he either uses the toggle on the guitar, a switch in behind the back of the guitar or Adam phyiscally changes it backstage. Anyone know for sure?
OilersRock1981 2 years ago
he uses his ground control pro to switch.
GNRjungle87 2 years ago
For the 'dirty' sound does he use all of those heads at the same time? (same for the 'clean' heads?)

UYI albums were actually with a jubilee for leads, and jcm 800 for rhythm.
pugachev 3 years ago
Dude honestly shut the fuck up!
He didn't use the Jubilee for Use Your Illusions. Post your source or shut up. He never used the Jubilee/Slash sig till "You Got No Right" on VR's debut album Contraband.
Nellysman1 3 years ago
He used the Jubilees for his live sound since 1988 and only in the studio from 2003-present with Velvet Revolver.
Every Slash record features a JCM 800 blended with another amp, except on USe Your Illusions which featured ONLY a JCM 800 soley!. "Source.... Adam Day Himself!".
Nellysman1 3 years ago
Well, arent you a little prick. Must be a little bipolar dickhead, arent ya? All that over a response of what amp slash used LOL. get a life, loser.

Pugachev you are the dumbest piece of shit ever.
He only used the Jubilee Live during his Guns N Roses years and anyone who says different doesn't know a damn thing.
Listen to Use Your Illusions thats all JCM 800 breaking into output.
I'll believe Adam Day the guy who set Slash's sound up before some stupid cock suckin' prick named Pugachev on the internet anyday.

I dare anyone to do a google search for Information DIRECT from Adam Day or Mike Clink that says Slash used a Jubilee on the Use Your Illusion Albums.
You WONT FIND IT. Read Slash's book he talks about the amps he used all though the Appetite Years are fuzzy for him the UYI years up he knows exactly what he used., also this information is backed by his Guitar tech Adam Day.
If you believe anyone other than Adam Day then you can fuck off you ignorant bastard Pugachev.

The sound on "Don't Damn Me" is what started my quest for Distortion in my playing. I was suprised that it was as simple as a 2203 head jcm 800 and a single 4x12 cab.
Nellysman1 3 years ago
since the distortion is coming from the output tubes rather than the preamp tubes, would EL34's still get a good UYI even though slash used 6550's?
SquiLLguitar51 3 years ago
i have EL34's in my 2203x, i've never tried the 6550s so i can't really tell you. What i can tell you is that you absolutely CAN get any good GNR Slash tone with an 800, it just takes some EQ tweaking (it will never sound exactly the same but it gets very similar). The Slash signature amp is a modified Silver Jube, which is a modified JCM800.
flipsy87 3 years ago
Flipsy87, other than using 4 EL-34's and 3 12 AX7 Pre Amp tubes the Jubilee and JCM 800 have nothing in common. With that Logic a DSL-100 is close too eh? NOPE!
Besides were you pretty much deaf when Adam said himself that the Jubilee wasn't a moddified 800? lol
Nellysman1 3 years ago
lol the Slash JCM is a SILVER JUBILEE if you buy a slash sig amp or a jubilee its the SAME thing not a TINY difference.

wtf where the fuck did yyou see slash using 6550 power tubes..."?"? he ALWAYS used El34s
slimyesli 2 years ago
I'm not sure, but i think he used 6550s his whole career until they made the JCM Slash, which featured EL34s. I can guarantee he used a JCM 800 with 6550 output tubes when making UYI. Other than using EL34s, nowadays he also uses KT66s in the new Vintage Modern (as you can see in this video)
SquiLLguitar51 2 years ago
yeah look the cmnt i left under ttok it of adam day interview for Use your Illusion it was A JCM 800 with 65/50 output tubes. He would set master volume at 8 and pre-amp at 2 it gave a different sound than pre-amp 8 and master 2
slimyesli 2 years ago
No, thats not correct. Slash uses 6550 tubes on a modded JCM 800 he uses on all his rythm work, this is the same amp he used from UYI to the present. Trust me, Im an expert on this subject.
slashsound 2 years ago
Wait. So On UYI albums, he used JCM 800? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago
no. correct me if i'm wrong but he used a silver jubilee.
weirdotis 2 years ago
I've heard Day say on many occasions that it was a JCM 800. I know on every album Slash used a JCM 800, including AFD. It wasn't the main amp, but it was used.
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago
I wouldn't be surprised about the 800, but I know when he went on tour he had some Jubes.
weirdotis 2 years ago
He recorded with the 800 but he toured with the Jub.
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago
he didnt use the jube at all for AFD and the tour because is wasnt available at the time, he instead used a modded amp that he had hired from a company and claimed it was stolen so he could use it (his roadie fucked up and it was eventually returned) George Lynch also used this amp and had some his own amps modified....THIS MOD IS STILL AVAILABLE TODAY FROM THE SAME PERSON WHO DID IT FOR S.I.R
flipsy87 2 years ago
Some ppl say he used the JUB for UYI, not AFD. I heard the JCM 800 was on UYI 1/2 and jub was for live shows.
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago 2
nah he didnt use the jub on any recordings, UYI was almost completely an 800
flipsy87 2 years ago 2
Maybe I worded wrong. I'm sorry. I heard an 800 was used for recording and the jub for live shows. I think so, but not 100 percent sure.
oldGNRfan23 2 years ago 2

ruffles272 2 years ago
Dispite Popular belief the Use Your Illusion Amp was not modded, just a plain old JCM 800 with screaming volume.
Nellysman1 3 years ago
thanks! i knew he used the MV control rather than the Preamp control to get his gain, but how did you find out about the EQ and other stuff?
Also, would an attenuator help get the output distortion from UYI, or would it lose too much tone at reasonable volumes volumes?
SquiLLguitar51 3 years ago
I got the tone settings from an Adam Day Interview that was on "belowempty. com" the previously official fan page of Velvet Revolver. Adam comments how slash uses more pre amp nowdays to get his gain and that in the UYI era he used to turn his amps up to 8 on the volume and the settings I mentioned :)
Nellysman1 3 years ago
absolutely NO, attenuators fuck with your amp's tone, it's only use is to keep your amp at room level without getting that grainy low output tone you find in these high output amps.
flipsy87 3 years ago
Dude, you are totally wrong, the jcm 800 is modded, it was called the SIR stock 34 and it was modded by the famous Frank Levi. Not to be confused with the SIR stock 36 and 39 amps which where modded plexis. Trust me, I know Frank Levi, I know most of the guys that have worked on Slash's gear. Its because of people like you that continue to spread misinformation; that the internet has become unreliable for accurate information.
slashsound 2 years ago
Wow am I wrong Slashsound? where did you get your incorrect information from?
Adam Day says himself that it is a Stock JCM 800 with 6550 output tubes. So I am putting stock in Adam Day the guy who set the rig up in the studio over YOU, who has information totally taken out of thin air.
