Thick humbuckers, strong mids and bends that carry a rough edge of harmonics.

MATCH THE HARDWARE FIRST
Start with the instrument’s own controls
Check pickup and wiring differences between the Kris Derrig replica, Gibson reissues and an ordinary Les Paul. This path references the documented Silver Jubilee 2555 / Slash Signature. A generic Plexi preset belongs to the substitute path.
Equipment basis and value provenance are separate. Suggested values for matching hardware are still not verified artist settings.

Start with the connections. Guitar → modeler INPUT → headphones or FRFR. Use both amp and cabinet simulation. For a physical guitar speaker, disable cabinet simulation and adjust the output mode.
The proposal fits within HX Stomp’s eight-block count. Actual DSP use still needs testing; omit optional modulation if necessary.
Tone and gain values are normalized 0–10 starting points. If the device uses a different range, begin at a similar proportion; this is not an acoustic equivalence. Time, frequency and mix retain their shown units. Leave unlisted parameters at defaults.

WAH
Fassel

Assign EXP to Position, Heel 0 to Toe 100. Bypass wah for riffs or introductions that do not need it. HX Stomp, QC and GT-1000CORE need an external expression pedal.

Helix and QC use JCM800-style amps; BOSS uses a Plexi-style amp. These are not exact Silver Jubilee / AFD circuits.

For headphones / FRFR. Cabinet choices are tonal alternatives, not necessarily the original touring speakers. If QC lacks the cut filters here, use a separate Low-High Cut block.

An editorial placement for clear repeats. This does not establish that the artist used this delay time on a recording or tour.

Make the final adjustments by ear
- Start at a low output level and check for input clipping.
- Bypass pedals and establish the amp’s basic tone.
- Match engaged and bypassed volume as you enable effects.
- Adjust bass for loose lows and treble or high cut for sharp highs.
