Cuz the information from Adam Day (Slash's old tech of 19 years) stated it was a JCM 800 into a 100 watt 4x12 cab,which would make sense for them to be 4 Green Backs at 25 watts each to get the 100 watt rating & output distortion as heard on Use Your Illusions. Where as Slash's live setup is Vintage 30s with the pre amp gain set higher than the studio rig. Plus tone wise I think its a safe bet those are Green Backs, that album just sounds like them with that high end flare. Slash at one point even used two Vintage 30s and two Green Backs in the same cab set diagonally for his live rig at one point.Mats A wrote:Good to hear Steven!
Slashwannabe1 why must it have been Greenbacks in the cab? Couldn´t it have been V30`s?
I don't have an AFD or #34 modded amp to try out but I bet the #34 mode would come alive with a 100watt Green Back 4x12 cab. It could be that maybe the V30s don't do the #34 justice where as V30s compliment the AFD tone well. See if you can try it out with a Green Back cab and let us know how that goes.Steven Latch wrote:True. I do have V30's in my cab. Sounds fantastic on the AFD mode but too bright for the bridge pickup in #34 mode. But I now get along with that mode now when using the neck pickup.
