I've got a version of RNDTH and Perfect Crime with him way up in the mix and Slash turned down, which is cool. I tried to send you a link but it said you couldn't receive messages! Don't think I can post it here. I'd love to hear this too, if you don't mind. Would be cool if someone could do something along the lines of "And Justice for Jason" on the UYI albums if they release them the same way they did Appetite. We need justice for Izzy.

I kinda remember reading that, but it was years ago! interesting ideas though! I love tone talk!! 😄@ZosoRose That's interesting, wonder how they came up with one mic facing the floor.

Silverburst80 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 A demo of the Mark 3 which is the amp you see on the back sleeve of AFD. The tone at 10.20 is pretty damn close to Izzys tone on that album. Only difference really is Iz was using humbucker style pick ups opposed to a single coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they were trying to create a really wooly sound (achieved) and figured a mic of the amp would give buggar all highs. Don't quote me on this though😄 think it was from an old total guitar magazine that I've long since misplaced! While were off topic of Izzy - Bob Rock likes 2 mics on the front, and one in the back! and then possibly a condenser 2-3 metres from the amp to pick up the room! those older producers were just always looking for tonal heaven! Nowadays👨🏻🦳it's all kemper Axe fx profiles. As for Izzy, didn't Slash say something about Izzy recording his guitars on a cassette and Izzy wanting to just fly over the recordings to digital? if it's true I wouldn't think Izzy was much of a stickler for gear and finding 'The tone', i'd guess it was more like 'get an idea, turn on amp, turn on recorder and play... then ride dirt bikes'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock is about ease of use, frictionlessness and ergonomics. Always has been. That’s why it’s never been more popular than right now.

effectfreak Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 To me Izzy's sound on OIAM sounds like small tweed Fender practice amp cranked. Possibly 8-inch or max 10-inch speaker. I would guess 50s or early 60s tweed vibrolux or champ. You can get pretty similar sound with Fender Champion 600 with volume maxed out. DTJ I would say bigger tweed amp cranked, deluxe or twin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're probably onto something i think it's delving into that vintage territory.....speaking of Fenders man i'd love to crank a Deluxe Reverb at some point in my life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no snob when it comes to tech! When I start gigging after covid, my amp will be staying at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally picture it being an ES-175 with the volume/tone knobs rolled back to control the drive. It just has that great, touch-sensitive humbucker grind you can only get with a dimed amp.

blackrose87 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Shame you could never hear it live (post AFD tour anyway). He always seemed to be buried underneath everything else in terms of the overall mix. Interesting for the wide variety of guitar types he played in his GNR days that his tone remained consistent too whether he was using humbuckers, singlecoils, hollowbody etc. Edited August 28, 2020 by blackrose87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
