AFD S.I.R #36 Studio Tone

Slash’s Appetite for Destruction tone is the sound that kicked the door open for one of the greatest eras of rock n' roll. Raw, sharp, and full of attitude. It defined the entire album and became one of the most instantly recognizable guitar sounds in rock. Every riff and lead hits with that unmistakable bite that people still connect to one of the greatest eras of rock music. This preset brings that classic Appetite tone straight to your setup, letting you plug in and feel the same energy that shaped a legendary moment in rock history.

Recommended Trim Settings

Feel free to adjust the Input Trim in ToneX to shape the perfect response for this specific tone. I usually set my 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.

(Note: I only use this method for my live presets NOT the album presets.) 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.
