"It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" Album Lead Preset

In 1995, Slash’s tone in the Snakepit album "It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere" was full of grit, swagger, and raw attitude. Played through his Marshall JCM 800 S.I.R. #34 which was modded by Frank Levi, it became one of his most aggressive and instantly recognizable studio tones.

This preset precisely captures that raw energy of Snakepit's "Slash". Angry, gritty, and unmistakably '90s Slash. Load it up and jump in the pit! 🐍

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.
