Rhythm vrs. Treble
When slash is playing live and playing with the warm rythym pick selected, the'l then slap the toggle switch to screeching treble sometimes. But the difference he gets between those pick ups is unbelievable! I dont understand it. None of my gibsons have that difference in pickups. And i no he uses the same pickups in both! How does he do it? Is there someone in a control room flicking a switch and adding a wah as a filter or just change the eq?

I suspect there's some foot action that coincides with the pickup selection.

I don't know if Slash has someone off stage but some guitarists do have a set-up like that, I remember reading an interveiw with Marty Friedman about 10 years ago and he said that he perferred to do it that way, makes for a cleaner stage and doesn't pin you down to one spot, .....

His treble pickup may sit closer to the strings than his rythm pickup, or his volume on the rythm may be turned down and vice versa for the treble.

Cool, its prolly a bit of both of your answers. Im sure he uses his wah as a filter a lot of the time to get real sharp trebly sounds tho.

Slash does have a guitar tech that tap dances to get his sounds...

I think he has the tone buttons set differently for each pickup , to make the neck pickup more bassy , and the bridge more trebley.
