The Slash Buying Guide

Capture Slash's sound and take your tone to Paradise City!

Slash is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in rock 'n' roll history, owing to his legendary work in Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver and beyond. His blues-rock playing style is as unmistakable as his infamous top hat, but where does his legendary tone come from? Our Slash buying guide has the answers to help you to achieve his iconic tone for yourself!
Slash Signature Guitars
Slash's signature guitars were all designed to capture what he looks for in an axe. Whether it's the "Jessica" Les Paul, bursting with early those early iconic Appetite For Destruction tones, or the Slash Les Paul Standard, designed to capture both the classic and modern tones that currently define his sound, you can't go wrong with a Slash signature axe to capture his tone!

Amplifiers: Our Picks to Capture Slash's Relentlessly Powerful Amp Tones!
Slash is known for ripping his Les Pauls through Marshall amps. Whether he's on the road or in the studio, the Les Paul/Marshall pairing has been his go-to since the '80s -- making his choice of amps just as important as his choice in guitars. Slash has relied on the Marshall JCM 800 in the studio and on the road, so we recommend the JCM800 2203 Reissue -- a recreation of the single-channel original, boasting the same blistering, spongy, high-gain British tones that help define his powerful sound.

Check out our additional amp picks and crank it loud like Slash!

Effects and Accessories: The Subtle but Important Parts of Slash's Tone
Though his guitars and amps play a large part in defining his tone, Slash still relies on certain effects and accessories to achieve his sound. Nail the iconic "Welcome to the Jungle" intro with the Boss DD-3T delay pedal, or rip through the first solo in "Paradise City" with the MXR Slash Octave Fuzz, both of which he has been known to use extensively on the road. Looking to add Slash's smooth, dynamic tones to your existing axe? Grab the Slash signature pickup set -- modeled after Seymour Duncan Alnico II humbuckers, these medium-output pickups are designed to capture the natural vibration of your strings, letting the tone of your amp shine through.
