High Pitched Whistle At Hi Gain Setting
Most likely this is a microphonic pre-amp valve. Replace if
necessary.
Rattling Noise From Head or Chassis
99% of the time this is caused by the spring output valve
retainers jangling against the valve. Gently bend the spring
holders out a fraction.
No Sound, Lights, Hum, etc.
1. Check mains fuse, but never with the amp plugged in.
2. Make sure the amp is plugged in.
Quick Hint
Someday, probably at a most inconvenient time, you will
blow a fuse or your valves will go. This is no reflection on any
amp, valves have a definite lifespan. Always make sure you
have replacements, just like you carry spare strings, or you
could be left stranded. Always thoroughly check speaker leads
to ensure that (A) they are properly connected and (B) they are
fully working. Also, use good quality guitar leads and check
them regularly.
Slash's Backline
Like his unique playing style, Slash's live set-up is quite
individual. He uses four Marshall 4x12 cabinets, two angled
cabs stacked on top of two straights - all loaded with 70 Watt,
Marshall /Celestion ‘Vintage’ speakers. The top two cabinets
are driven by two separate JCM Slash Signature amps
dedicated to his clean sound. Likewise, the bottom two cabs
are driven by a further pair of Signature heads set for his
distorted Rhythm and Lead tones. He also has a fifth 2555
solely for use with a talkbox.
Slash's Settings
Below are the settings Slash uses to obtain his revered Clean
and Dirty tones.
