shame he's only using the jubilees for clean now, those were his best live dirty tones ever, live era guns and houston velvet revolver...drool

With a little bit of Powerpoint you can do this!
Here's mine...

p.s. Don't tell my boss ;o)

 

[hidetox]

Da*n. Couldn't resist but to attempt one myself... ... nice work Pavs!

 

[Harlequin tusk]

I could care less that / rig is mapped out. What I want to know is how can I get this same cartoon drawing of my own rig! I bet there's a few people here that would want to have their rigs drawn out like this, too (much cooler than making a dorky list in your signature!

Ask Nuke, he has the same illustration for his setup.

 

[Harlequin tusk]

Not a floyd whammy, but an early kind of whammy that's still in use today. Though this guy doesn't use whammy anymore, he did alright with it on his Les Paul:

Is that Clapton?????

 

[Wiking]

Yep. But check that battered cymball. Back in the day when they really pounded that shit.

 

[MonstersOfTheMidway]

Is that Clapton?????

Indeed that is Slow Hand during his fiery years with Cream.

Thank you, gentlement, for sharing your talents. I'm gonna try this out myself later. Lots of talented folks on this forum, that's for sure.

that Godfather theme showcases Slashs SLOW playing. he is very good at playing slow, which alot of people overlook. He makes those Gibsons cry.

He can play fast, go to 3:05 in this vid for a fast shreddy run, but its not his forte so to speak. Which is good too, there are enough shredders in this world.

I'm surprised most by the fact his pedal board is off stage and operated by his guitar tech! Do many famous guitarists do this?

A few big bands do so they can move around onstage. Metallica and System of a Down comes to mind. It's not uncommon.

^ Yup 'tallica sure do , apart from wah peddles for hamster.

something i have seen on one of slash's LP's is it was fitted with a xlr cable and he seemed to be switching clean/OD via the pickup selector.....

Got any pics or videos? I think he has some guitars equipped with a piezo pickup.

 

[Stonemole]

i think this is it.....its been a while since i seen it. so i may be wrong.

I doubt it's XLR or anything fancy. He probably has the vol rolled back on the neck to keep it clean. Also it's possible his tech is off stage doing some switching which is mainly how Slash plays.

This. Looks like a cable with a fancy jack.

It's a 1/4 in to midi cable that he uses to connect to amplitube slash on his rack mounted Mac book. Duh!


Seriously though it could be a 1/4 to xlr that he's plugged into some kingpin of preamp rig or PA system. This looks like,a club in the ghetto so who knows that setup options he had.
