How he got here
- 2000–15
By ear, from 14
He has played since he was 14, listening to Guns N' Roses and Slash every day.
“from listening to GN'R and Slash everyday since I was 14”

“Learned to play alone man with enough time and will everyone can. I was practicing for 6-8 hours a day with songs, only by ear.”

His number oneGibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8
In 2010 he bought a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R8, the 1958 reissue, new and completely stock from a guitar store. He swapped its Burstbuckers for Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros straight away.
“I bought it in 2010 at a guitar store completley stock R8”

Before the JubileeMarshall JCM800 2203
He played Marshall JCM800s first, three 2203s over the years, and sold one to buy the Slash Jubilee.
“I sold my JCM800 2203 to buy this Slash model and it was worth it”

His favourite ampMarshall JCM Slash Signature 2555SL
Around 2013 he bought a mint Marshall JCM Slash Signature 2555SL, the 100-watt Jubilee built for Slash. It has been his favourite amp ever since: inside it is a 1987 Silver Jubilee, he says, with a little more low end and gain.
“anyway if you can get one I think it's one of the best Marshall amps”

The ’87 refinish, and a Jubilee in every size
In 2016 the R8 spent a month at B&G Guitars, a luthier shop in Israel, which refinished the top in thin nitro to look like the 1987 Les Paul Slash played from the Snakepit days on. The factory finish was too red for him.
“it was too red sunburst so I refinished to Slash's 87 les paul specs”
Source: Paradise City - Gibson R8(Slash) Marshall JCM Slash ↗In the photo: Gibson Les Paul R8 Slash 87' Refinish ↗He says the refinish made it sound better too, and he has yet to play a historic or Custom Shop Les Paul he likes more. Orange drop caps with a treble bleed, new tuners and two gold and two amber knobs finished the job.
“I played alot of historic and custom shop les pauls and I didnt find nothing that compares to this one yet.”

The boost, always onBoss GE-7
He swapped an MXR 10-band EQ for an old Japanese Boss GE-7, a 1983, set in front of the amp as a boost: an upside-down smile, mids and level up.
“I got rid of the mxr EQ and got an old boss GE7, sounds even better for the GN'R tone”

“All the videos are saved on my computer, I deleted them because of copyright issues.”

“If I will buy another guitar it definitely will be a les paul goldtop with darkback”

DelayBoss DD-3 Digital Delay
In March 2017 he found a 1986 Japanese Boss DD-3. It sounds better than the TC Flashback it replaced, he says: get the old Japanese ones.
“Before this I had the TC Flashback and the DD3 sounds better, you shuold get the old ones made in Japan.”

WahDunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah
His wah is a Dunlop 535Q, set to its brightest sound. He tried almost every Dunlop wah before it.
“Yeah after Trying almost all dunlop wah's this one is the best.”

2017Marshall JCM900 combo
In 2017 he also played a 100-watt Marshall JCM900 combo with EL34 power tubes. If you buy one, get it with EL34s, he says, not 5881s.
“Yes, great amp, but get one that have EL34 tubes and not 5881 tubes.”

The small JubileeMarshall Studio Jubilee 2525C Silver Jubilee
In August 2017 he bought a Marshall 2525C Mini Jubilee combo, loud enough for gigs and close to the Slash head.
“Amazing amp ! totally worth it, one of the best amps marshall did for a long time !”

In February 2018 he played an acoustic guest set in Tel Aviv with friends from Guns N' Moses, a Guns N' Roses tribute band.

WirelessLine 6 Relay G30 Wireless System
In October 2018 he went wireless with a Line 6 Relay G30. It does not colour the tone at all, he says.

For clean chorus he went from a 1982 Boss CE-2 to an MXR Zakk Wylde Chorus, then back to Boss with a CE-2W Waza: the best chorus, he says.

An ’89 Standard, a switcher and lick lessons
His favourite Les PaulGibson Les Paul Standard 1989
In February 2020 he got a 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard with a three-piece top, Heritage Cherry Sunburst. He bought it without playing it, from a seller who sent him every picture he asked for. He prefers it to the R8: it sounds and feels better to him, with a thinner neck.
“I took a chance on that but the person I got it from sent me many pictures and everything I wanted before ordering it”

In the '89Seymour Duncan APH-1s Alnico II Pro HB Humbucker Set
In it went a set of 1986 Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pros from a local seller, warmer than new ones to his ear. He rewired the whole cavity: 50s wiring, CTS 500k pots, .022 orange drops and a treble bleed, plus a bone nut and TonePros hardware.
“I changed the whole cavity, removed the plate and replaced to 50's wiring with CTS500k pots”

TalkboxDunlop HT-1 Heil Talk Box
For talkbox parts he uses the original Dunlop Heil Talk Box, between the head and the cab, over the newer pedal version. He has used it live too.
“I use the Heil talkbox cause it sounds better in my opinion”
Source: Slash Rocket Queen Talkbox Guitar Solo Live Era ↗In the photo: Slash Style Dunlop Heil Talkbox Jam ↗SwitcherBoss ES-8
In October 2020 his board moved onto a Boss ES-8 switcher, which also changes the amp's channels. After years of it, he was tired of tap dancing on pedals.
“After all these years I just got tired tap dancing on pedals so this is the easiest way to use when playing.”

In December 2020 he jammed on video with JakobSlash, and joined a collab of players from the Slash Guitar Collector's group on Facebook.
“It was great to jam with my buddy JakobSlash on some Blues track”

“After many requests to do some guitar lessons and tutorials I decided that this is the time to do so.”

In the R8Mojotone '59 Clone Humbucker Guitar Pickup Set
In April 2021 the R8 got Mojotone '59 Clone low-output pickups with Luxe bumblebee caps, for a more classic sound; Dickey Betts was the reason. Of all the pickups it has had, these are the best by far, he says.
“I bought it with Burstbucker 1-2, changed them to SD Alnico 2 Pros and the Mojotones are the best by far.”

Strat, Gilmour styleEMG DG20 David Gilmour Pre-Wired Loaded Strat Pickguard
In June 2021 he fitted EMG's David Gilmour DG20 pickups to a Japanese '57 reissue Strat, to make it like Gilmour's Red Strat. They are dead quiet, he says.
“these EMG DG20's are dead quiet, not like regular single coils”

For the 80sCharvel San Dimas Style 1
In August 2021 a Charvel San Dimas joined, for his 80s covers. By late 2022 it had an EVH Wolfgang bridge pickup, a Jalen Origin in the neck and a brass trem block.

Studio Marshalls, a Fryette and the goldtop
The little plexiMarshall SV20H
In 2022 he played a Marshall Studio Vintage SV20H, the 20-watt plexi: stock with a Q-Zone in front, then with a Hot Mod. He sold it in March 2023, not because he did not like it; he had other amps he used more.
“I just sold it yesterday not because I didnt like it, I just have many other amps the I use most of the time”

AttenuatorFryette PS‑2 Power Station Integrated Reactance Amplifier
A Fryette Power Station PS-2 replaced the THD as his attenuator. It does not change the amp's tone at any level, he says, and he uses it all the time.
“the best attenuator money can buy and worth it”
Source: Fryette Power Station 2 Review ↗He turned the 2525C combo into a head, so it plays through any cab.
“I also converted my 2525C to head and cab, so now I can use it with any cab I want”

The goldtopGibson Slash Victoria Les Paul Standard
By July 2023 the goldtop had come: a Gibson Slash Victoria Les Paul Standard with a dark back. The first thing he did was fit knobs and a switch tip like Slash's 90s goldtop; later he swapped its Slash pickups for regular Alnico II Pros.
“that's the first thing I did when I got her”

Three Les Pauls and a cranked Marshall
With a Hot ModMarshall Studio Classic SC20H
His other main amp is a Marshall Studio Classic SC20H again, bought back in 2023 and fitted with a Legendary Tones Hot Mod V2: more gain and compression from the tubes, no pedals needed. He cannot play it without the mod now.
“I cant play the amp without the hotmod, its just doesnt sound right without.”

Reverb comes from a Boss RV-500, on a plate setting most of the time.
“I use plate reverb most of the time with Boss RV500 pedal”
Source: Les Paul R8 and Marshall Mini Jubilee ↗In 2026 he still reaches for the GE-7 first. The Q-Zone is great too, but not for every Slash sound.
“Ge7 is the better one, quad zone is also great but not for all slashs sounds”
Source: Gibson R8 and Marshall Zeppelin 2 ↗RecordingShure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone
He records the cab with a Shure SM57 into an audio interface and Cubase, adding only a little reverb afterwards. Mic placement is the key, he says.
“basically Im not doing that much when recording, mic placment is the key, and adding a bit of reverb after recording opens up the sound.”

Gear and tone
Which Les Paul for Slash's sound?
les paul deluxe have mini humbucker pickups not regular humbuckers. You can also get the sound with les paul studio or traditional. But the best is les paul custom shop or standard.
Watch: Backing Tracks - Southern Rock Style In A - JCMSLASH ↗2020Alnico II Pro or the Slash signature pickups?
Slash signature has more output and I like it to be less output and more guitar & amp sound rather than from the pickup.
Watch: Gibson Victoria Goldtop Marshall JCM800 Solo ↗2024Burstbuckers or Alnico II Pros?
The burstbuckers are not wax potted, and the alnico 2 pro is more mid ranged sound.
Watch: Gibson Les Paul R8 and Dunlop 535Q wah ↗2018The R8 or the '89: which plays easier?
the 89 is easier to play, the neck is thinner
Watch: JCMSlash - Guns N' Roses - Dust In The Wind Guitar Solo Cover ↗2022Is the Victoria goldtop heavy?
Yeah its heavy simething like 4.3-4.4 kg but its a cool guitar
Watch: Gibson Victoria Goldtop Marshall JCM800 Solo ↗2024Why a Boss GE-7 and not the MXR 10-band?
Slash used the Boss ge7 in 80's and 90's. I had the MXR and sounds great but the old Boss ge7(japan) adds something else
Watch: JCM Slash Rig Rundown 2020 ↗2020Boss GE-7 or EQ-200?
But for overall tone I prefer the MIJ GE7 Old school gets you the tone you need.
Watch: Boss GE7 Japan VS Boss EQ200 VS No Pedals ↗2021Heil Talk Box or the MXR pedal?
This MXR talkbox goes straight into the amp, while the original Dunlop talkbox needs to be plugged between the head and cab.
Watch: Slash Rocket Queen Talkbox Guitar Solo Live Era ↗2020Will a Hot Mod work in a Jubilee?
No the Hot Mod v2 cant work with the Jubilee amps because of the way of the circuit.
Watch: Gibson Victoria Goldtop Marshall JCM800 Solo ↗2024Greenback or Vintage 30?
the GB is 25W so it opens up quickly than the V30 which is 70W, V30 have more mid range sound, the GB is a bit warmer sounding and better for that classic rock sound.
Watch: Gibson R8 and Marshall 2525 Mini Jubilee Jam ↗2018Straight or slanted cab?
Straight cab give more low end, but you can get his sound from a slanted cab also, or any cab.
Watch: Marshall JCM800 Slash Guitar Tone ↗2023Overdrive pedal or a cranked tube amp?
tube amp sound is warmer more alive and breathing sound

Watch: Gibson Victoria Goldtop Marshall JCM800 Solo ↗2024The Slash 2555SL or a 2555X?
if you are a true slash fan then go for the real thing, the JCM Slash.
Watch: Slash Guitar Riffs And Licks ↗2019An original 1987 Jubilee or the 2555SL?
I would choose the 87 Jubilee only because its worth more. But sound wise both can sound the same.
Watch: Slash Style Hard Rock Guitar Riffs, Licks, Solos With Les Paul and Marshall ↗2018SV20H, SC20H or Mini Jubilee?
The 2525 is the most versatile amp between the 3 of them.
Watch: Marshall SV20H Plexi - Slash/Appetite For Destruction Tones ↗2022Mini Jubilee or the Studio JCM800?
But if its one then The 2525C for sure. If you can get the 2525 head and another cab then its better.
Watch: Slash Les Paul R8 and Marshall Jubilee ↗2020Mini Jubilee or the Slash SL5?
The mini Jubilee is way way better than the sl5. almost as close as the SL2555 jcm slash.
Watch: Marshall 2525C Mini Jubilee Clean Channel ↗2017Mini Jubilee: combo or head?
I can say that a head and 2x12 cab is a better use, and V30s sound great with the jubilee.
Watch: Slash Les Paul R8 and Marshall Jubilee ↗2020Wait for a new Slash '87 model, or buy old?
Just do as I did and get one from the late 80's

You can buy a very good les paul, and Marshall SL2555+Cab, Boss GE7, and have some money left.
Watch: Seymour Duncan 1986 APH1 vs 2021 APH1 Pickup Comparison ↗2023Old Japanese GE-7 or a new one?
There is no much difference between an Old or new Boss ge7, If you can get the old Japan version go for it
