I always wondered-slash doesn't use an OD pedal, so where does he get his amazing OD? Is it straight from the amp, or some strange secrets? Anyone know? 8)

He's been known to use a BC Rich too. The current Marshall ads picture him with the red BC Rich from the Schwarzenegger video (can't remember the name of the song). I don't think there's anything between the axe and the stack though.

Best,

Thanks for that link, I'm a big fan of slash's sound as well - especially some of the earlier G'n'R stuff :)

Rumour has it that if you play Microsoft CDs backwards you will hear Satanic messages.

Worse still, is that if you play them forwards they will install Windows.

I have read that Slash uses only Celestion Vintage 30's in his cabs, not the stock Celestions Marshall cabs usually come with.

I guess it kinda proves you dont actually need a pedal to sound good.

or maybe he has onboard distortion on his les paul, OR he has a pedal hidden in his hair/hat

Here is Slash's fan site with even more information on his guitars and amps.

I see Slash was a T Rex fan. But I already knew that,

Look familiar?

Yeah, I think he uses the Marshall's power tube distortion, with just a wah.
