The effects Slash used are a Dunlop DCR-ISR Crybaby Rack, Dunlop Heil Talk Box, Boss DD-5 Digital Delay and a Boss GE-7 Equalizer (to boost his amplifier volume in the solos when playing live).

He gets his sound from his amp since he uses a high end marshal(a Marshall JCM 2555 Silver Jubilee back then), so an amp will get you a better slash sound than anything else.

  • Thank you for the answer, Hussein. I did find a youtube video where Shash's guitar tech talks about the pedals. I am aiming for the tone in this particular video though, and I hope I don't have to get all the pedals Slash uses -- I couldn't afford it. If I can get just one or two pedals to get close to the tone in this video that would be great. As far as amp, I have an Orange Micro Terror.

    @petilon as the answer points out, the tone isn't from pedals (aside from the delay on the lead, which you can hear clearly after the rhythm stops), a big part is the amplifier. There are pedals that aim to create a "driven amp" tone - this one is specific to the Marshall JCM: weehbo.com/products/jcm-drive. There are forum threads on getting a "Slash tone" from Orange amps - see e.g. ultimate-guitar.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-1038943.html

These guys have a great video about how to sound like Slash's band Guns'n'Roses on a budget.

Here's the gear they chose:
