Why Slash Keeps His Guitar Rig So Simple | Slash: At Guitar Center

Shop Slash's Signature Gear: https://www.guitarcenter.com/Slash-Ge... Slash breaks down the strings, picks and simple effects setup behind his direct, hard-hitting guitar sound in this Guitar Center interview. After working in a guitar store as a kid and trying nearly every major string brand, Slash explains why Ernie Ball strings have remained his go-to choice for reliability, feel and tone. He also discusses his custom 11–46 string setup, why he prefers heavy Dunlop picks and how his playing style demands gear that pushes back. Slash also shares why his effects approach stays intentionally simple: a Les Paul through a Marshall, with wah, delay and only a few other pedals when needed. For Slash, fewer distractions mean more focus on playing, feel and performance.
