Slash's Tokyo 1992 Lead Tone For ToneX

During Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion Tour, Slash delivered one of the most iconic live guitar sounds ever captured —

Just plug and play — the magic of the "Golden Tone" is right there, ready to go.

Recommended Trim Settings

My recommended ToneX trim settings would be→ Set Input Trim between -8 to -4 dB and Output Trim around +2 dB.

This tone is built to sound massive on both studio monitors and live rigs.

So that being said, it cuts perfectly through any band mix.

Plug into an FRFR speaker or straight to the DI or even your amp front/return — it’s ready for the stage.

Personally, I plug it into my amp front signal. Yes, the front. Not the FX Loop. (Its my little trick that makes it sound so "alive"). Then I mic up with an SM-57.
