Great episode! I'd love a bass-version of this! Sound like Geezer Butler, Flea, John Paul Jones, etc. Would be awesome! Also, Sound like Tony Iommi please!
Slash did not have a real true Gibson les Paul on the first album. It was a les Paul replica. He used the Seymour Duncan alnico 2 pro before that first album.
I really like how this series is progressing. You are systematically removing the things that I dislike like showing the rig at the start of the video and not going to the shop. Keep up the good work!
Before Slash had his signature pickup he used Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro APH-1 pickups. His signature models are a slightly hotter bigger sounding version of this. Every guitar he records or performs with was fitted with these before his signature set came out.
They really could have just gotten a $100 Epiphone Les Paul Special and it would've sounded fine. They have Alnico 2s without the metal cover and they actually play decent with a little fine tuning.
Not in an Original Epiphone Special model. It was my first guitar and I still own it. You're thinking of the Les Paul Special 2. The original was alnico 2
In my opinion both those setups were bang on for the money! Killer playing by both you guys as well. I love these "sounds like" budget vids. They show less experienced and strapped for cash players like me how to get there without wasting a bunch of money on unnecessary gear! Keep em coming guys, and thank you so much for putting in the time and effort.
Considering Brian May sells his own signature guitars starting at about £650, and it's well known he uses a Vox AC-30 with a treble booster, there's not much point in them doing a video when people already know how.
Just bought the DSL40! Thanks guys. Don't think I would have without your vids. Sounds amazing. Couldn't be happier. You two are killer. Much appreciated!
they did it but i think they should re do it because the effect they used for lonely boy was way of by my standards, they used an EHX Pitchfork as there wasn't any Digitech Whammies left in stock even though i recall there was 4 Whammy DT's at the warehouse during that time it was uploaded and from seeing research Dan used a Boss PS5 but i don't think they make them anymore so the PS6 would've been better
Absolutely nailed this one. What this really brought home to me though was that if you have half decent gear, a good quality amp especially, you can sound like whatever you want with the use of fx and pedals. I'd love to see a video from you guys where you use a tele and make it sound like a Les Paul etc. Just to make people realize you don't need this boutique humbucker or that vintage tweed etc.
Great sound. Such warm noises. As you say you were trying for the sound and I think slash would be mixed much louder as felt behind the rhythm. That was just in commenting of sounding like the record. At 12:30ish just made me smile the sound is so emotive and great.
+Eddie's Guitars I'll say it a million times to a million people, it's the technique of playing that gets you that sound. Gear only helps to a certain extent
+SteveOTheMan16 It's just for fun to see how the guys could come up with a Periphery type tone without using a Axe FX, Kemper, or Pod. An actual amp paired with pedals is what I'm trying to say.
Before Slash's signature pickups (Alnico II PRO Slash), he always used Alnico II PRO pickps in all his LPs. The signature pickups are an exact copy of the ones found on his original AFD, built by luthier Kris Derrig.
Slash had the semour's alnico 2 pickups in his original afd les paul tho. It wasn't a standard gibson les paul. It was a luthier made les paul replica with the duncan pickups. Anyways great video guys! Guns N' Roses all the way!
Sound like Buckethead! Mesa Triple Rectifier, Stiletto Deuce, Bogner Uberschall, ENGL Powerball - there's some stuff the DSL40 will not sound like. :D GNR tones were 100% accurate, amazing job!
MAAAN ! This compilation was amazing ! When I watch some GNR covers on youtube I always scold the sound because nobody find the exact tone of Slash, but you did guys ! Great, congrat !
He says before slash had signature pickups he would've used stock gibson guitars and pickups ... But when slash recorded AFD he used the kris derrig gibson replica and what this guy doesn't know is the derrig came with Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 pro zebras in it already, which then became his signature pickup... So no, he wouldn't have used stock gibson guitars and pickups back then, maybe after the record blew up and Gibson got on board but this video is about achieving the sound on the record, which they weren't around for
Nice job. Almost spot on. Judging from the Sweet Child intro the neck pickups could do with a little less attack and little more midrange but I couldn't have guessed it wasn't Slash's rig with Slash playing it himself without the video, so awesome.
That Artist series/Plimsoul combination sounds amazing, remember Chappers and The Captain using it in the amp demo. Might have to pick one up to use with my ME80 for my bedroom playing.
Only one change I wouldve made. Instead of that epi lp I wouldve gone with the Gibson 50s tribute lp. Killer guitar for 900 bucks, and the goldtop has a dark back like slashs.
buy a guitar with a kill switch amp dosent really matter and then buy every pedal ever to exist. congratulations you are now buckethead now you just need to give your soul to play like him

Great job. Best one yet... With a bonus... Been trying to figure out how to play the beginning of Welcome to the Jungle, for a long time.... Thanks for the help... I was wayyyyyy over complicating it... It was so simple.... Thanks. Love these Sounds Like shows.... My Favorite of this channel.
With the gear that you guys used, listening through headphones, having devoured that album countless times, I can say that that was pretty f*cking impressive. To me they were all spot on! Love the videos guys, keep it up!
Great "Sound like", this. You guys normally do a pretty good job but you nailed it this time. I wish I'd had TH-cam and series like "Sound like" when I was first learning guitar back in the 90's. Guitar Techniques and Total Guitar were pretty good with the CD included but didn't manage to communicate the importance of tone and the different elements of your setup half as well as videos like these do. There's so much great content out there and this knowledge is so much more accessible the kids learning these days have no excuse for being purveyors of crap tone.
I've been in love with Slash and his tone since before I picked up the guitar, which coincidently is why I decided to play guitar, and my brother bought me a regular Epiphone Les Paul traditional and then a few years later I bought the Marshall MG100HCFX head and I got some pretty good Slash tones out of it.
Very nice job boys, I had the video playing in the background at first and your sound had me fooled. I especially liked the combined sound of you two after the intro.
An xotic ep booster pushing amps into a nice creamy spot and it sounds almost exactly like slash depending how you have it and what you're running it with, my experience it nails it, but a tube amp is probably the main component to that sound
About you guys claiming that Slash used the stock pickups of his Les Paul before getting his own signature set. WRONG, the Kris Derrig made Les Paul Copy he played on "Appetite" was fitted with Seymour Duncan AlNiCo pro humbuckers that Slash liked the sound so much of that when the band started their "Appetite" tour, he bought several Les Pauls and had the stock pickups replaced by Seymour Duncan AlNiCo pro units so he could at least have a similar sound to the Derrig Les Paul which he was reluctant to take out on tour.
12:45 My jaw literally hits the floor. Wasn't expecting it to be that close. And it's not even busting the bank. Roll some treble off and it's spot on.
Great to see the positive feedback! thanks guys. We really appreciate it.
+Rabea Massaad It was great :)
+Rabea Massaad You and Matt need to both get guitars from now on... I found my self headbanging so much with you that my headphones fell off!
+Rabea Massaad That set up, done at a gig would have blown an audience away with authenticity; I've watched tribute bands that don't get that close.
+Rabea Massaad Really enjoyed that, but i would have the wah in their instead of a talkbox.
It's really nice to see your comfort infront of the camera, I noticed it in your Toska videos but it's a genuine pleasure to watch you work.
"Hey, I need a new coffee machine, what would you suggest?" "Marshall DSL-40c mate"
lmao
😂😂😂
Joe Wallace My DSL 40 CST performed kidney dialysis last week. Amazing.

You should do another series called "sounds like, by busting the bank", same principle, but no budget limit, so you can show us some sweet fancy gear

PLEASE
The Paradise City sound was HUGE.
Goosebumps
that is the shit
jMOPS1993 But he plays the intro wrong :/
and that's from a $55 chorus pedal.
Got to love Tone City.
It was absolutely spot on! Never heard the solo tone so close to the original one ever!
dunlop wah is more important than talkbox
I'd say that was close enough for anyone to be happy with.
also, I might just grab one of those chorus boxes, they sound great for the price.
+CSGuitars no one yet?
Colin! I love your videos!
COLIN! wasn't expecting to see you here
Trying to sound like Slash and there's no wah?
On a solo part of Sweet child of mine, there is a wah

no you're not, this video was perfect, probably the 2nd best without busting video they've ever done

What are the amp settings at on the dsl40?
Slash did not have a real true Gibson les Paul on the first album. It was a les Paul replica. He used the Seymour Duncan alnico 2 pro before that first album.
John Heinecke he still does too, if he gets a guitars that’s not collectible he switches them out before he even plugs it in lol
But on the appetite's and Illusion's tour he played stock Les Paul's Standard. And even some factory second.
the LP sounds so thin next to the sheraton. anyway i still wanna see SOUND LIKE WEEZER. PINKERTON specifically.
yes!
+Pints of Guinness The Sheraton is blowin its door off !!
WEEZER. YES
=W=
+Pints of Guinness I SECOND THE MOTION!!!!!! (。_。)ノ
I think that the talk box was the step too far. Really a wah pedal would have been better as Slash uses that on a lot more tracks.
see the BY busting the bank version, they ditched the MXR Talkbox and got a Slash SW95 wah
John Smith they were going to use his current signature wah but they didn't have it in stock
Would kill for a tony iommi and randy rhoads episode guys!
YES!
They've done a Randy Rhods with Glenn Fricker ;)
There's a Black Sabbath (Iommi) episode!
Zach Sandstrom who did you kill?
IgglyStuff yes
I really like how this series is progressing. You are systematically removing the things that I dislike like showing the rig at the start of the video and not going to the shop. Keep up the good work!
Before Slash had his signature pickup he used Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro APH-1 pickups. His signature models are a slightly hotter bigger sounding version of this. Every guitar he records or performs with was fitted with these before his signature set came out.
"I'm playing an Epiphone Les Paul with a built in stand" LMAOOOOOO I died! XD
R.I.P
Please do def leppard I love the Bands tone in the hysteria era and I think Steve Clarks may be a difficult one to get.
Yes that would be a good idea. please do Def Leppard
Yes please
The only amp that will give you that tone is the rockman amp
2:48 Nope. Since his Appetite Les Paul was a copy, he got himself some Seymour Alnico 2 Pros. So he never used stock Gibson pups.
They really could have just gotten a $100 Epiphone Les Paul Special and it would've sounded fine. They have Alnico 2s without the metal cover and they actually play decent with a little fine tuning.
Nope they are ceramic
What are?
+Anon E. Moose the magnets in the pickups in that guitar

+cornelius larsen Seconded
Oh, and the opening riff - man. Nailed it. Well done.
Slash always used Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro pickups and where was the wah??
Do a Sounds like "Brian May"!
Moses Ramirez that would be hard cuz he made his own guitar when he was younger
Considering Brian May sells his own signature guitars starting at about £650, and it's well known he uses a Vox AC-30 with a treble booster, there's not much point in them doing a video when people already know how.
Lucky for you, there is one
Just bought the DSL40! Thanks guys. Don't think I would have without your vids. Sounds amazing. Couldn't be happier. You two are killer. Much appreciated!
You guys are nailing all the tones on every show and thanks I enjoy watching them ! Lots of luv from Canada !!
I'd like to see Jerry Cantrell from Alice In Chains
yes please the dirt tone would be amazing songs like them bones and stuff
I really want to see Black Keys, because it would be fun to see how they handle the vintage gear vs. new gear.
+Otso Pänttönen it's a shame they always do the guitar tones from the albums, cause dan's live tone makes my face melt
they did it but i think they should re do it because the effect they used for lonely boy was way of by my standards, they used an EHX Pitchfork as there wasn't any Digitech Whammies left in stock even though i recall there was 4 Whammy DT's at the warehouse during that time it was uploaded and from seeing research Dan used a Boss PS5 but i don't think they make them anymore so the PS6 would've been better

I'd love to see a sounds like video for Slash's solo work, apocalyptic love album definitely. His tone is unbelievable on that record.
Before Slash's signature pickups (Alnico II PRO Slash), he always used Alnico II PRO pickps in all his LPs. The signature pickups are an exact copy of the ones found on his original AFD, built by luthier Kris Derrig.
What were the settings on the dsl
all the yes!!!!!!!! metallica plz?
and that welcome to the intro was perfect in the sound
Slash had the semour's alnico 2 pickups in his original afd les paul tho. It wasn't a standard gibson les paul. It was a luthier made les paul replica with the duncan pickups. Anyways great video guys! Guns N' Roses all the way!
NAILED THE TONE SOOO WELL!!!
You guys did awesome!
You guys did an amazing job. I loved how you blurred the gear early on so it was a little bit of a surprise to what you picked.
Sounds amazing! Closest one yet maybe!
Surprisingly close. About as good as it gets. Especially with gear he never really used. Well done.
Sound like Buckethead! Mesa Triple Rectifier, Stiletto Deuce, Bogner Uberschall, ENGL Powerball - there's some stuff the DSL40 will not sound like. :D
GNR tones were 100% accurate, amazing job!
+Banan yesssss, anything mesa related. because the dsl won't work
2:45 before he got his signature pickups he was using his 59 replica that had seymour duncan alnico 2's in it, and he used it on the appetite album
And before that he was using BC Rich guitars
Matt's sound is crazzzy. Love it! BTW you guys really nailed it this time i guess... Good job!
It was pretty good i think! Now do Black Sabbath? I mean early Ozzy Sabbath

So no, he wouldn't have used stock gibson guitars and pickups back then, maybe after the record blew up and Gibson got on board but this video is about achieving the sound on the record, which they weren't around for
So it wasn't a gibson itself? How much does a replica like that usually run?
replaca's are $3000 or so, they've done a few limited run versions and one version is being made now, as a Gibson and an Epi
+JMunn55 are you talking about the Rosso Corsa les Paul? Or more Afd replicas?
The AFD replicas were made I believe in 2010, they made a limited run at the time. 100 or so were aged and also signed by Slash.
The Rosso Corsa was 2013-2014 and there was also the Vermillion. Same guitar, just colour difference
Nice job. Almost spot on. Judging from the Sweet Child intro the neck pickups could do with a little less attack and little more midrange but I couldn't have guessed it wasn't Slash's rig with Slash playing it himself without the video, so awesome.
That Artist series/Plimsoul combination sounds amazing, remember Chappers and The Captain using it in the amp demo. Might have to pick one up to use with my ME80 for my bedroom playing.
Do the Eddie Van Halen "Brown Sound".
Only one change I wouldve made. Instead of that epi lp I wouldve gone with the Gibson 50s tribute lp. Killer guitar for 900 bucks, and the goldtop has a dark back like slashs.
