ShakER. Mesa/Boogie ниче общего не имеет со слэшевским звуком. Guns N Roses всегда ассоциировали с Marshall.
Вот тебе инфа с официального Слэшевского сайта:
The studio amps are: Marshall 2555 with EL34 output tubes and the Marshall JCM 800 (modified) with 6550 output tubes. The signal is split with Bob Bradshaw custom splitter system.
SLASH is known for Gibson guitars and Marshall amps. Just as there is a Gibson signature guitar for SLASH, there is also a SLASH signature amp. At the end of 1998, the SLASH signature guitar was selling from $1800 to $3500 (case included), and the SLASH amp for under $900 (includes "snakeskin" cover). The SLASH amp was only manufactured in 1996, so it is not always easy to locate. For live appearances, the JCM SLASH Marshalls are used for a dirty sound. For the dirty tone, the SLASH recommended settings are: Presence: 7, Bass: 7, Mid: 4.5, Treble: 7, Output Master: 6, Lead Master: 10, Input Gain: 6.5. The JCM SLASH Marshalls are used for a clean sound, too, when modified with KT88 output tubes. The SLASH Marshall should be tuned this way for the clean tone (SLASH recommendations): Presence: 0, Bass: 9, Mid: 3, Treble: 5 1/2, Output Master: 10, Lead Master: 0, Input Gain: 4. The 2555 Silver Jubilee at 50 watts is used for the Heil Talk box. All tubes are groove tubes.
Some more amp information: In 1987 the Silver Jubilee was issued as the 2555 model for that year only. In 1988 the 2555 model was issued in black only for just that year and then discontinued. In 1998 Marshall issued the JCM SLASH. It is an exact reproduction of the 2555 model. This was a limited run. SLASH uses groove tubes, E34Ls output tubes, and GT12AX7 for pre-amp (also known as ECC83), preferably #5 value output tubes. With limited production of these amps, availability is only through the used market. (Interested guitarists should contact Guitar Center for a computerized list of all their stores.)
SLASH has a unique playing style that is reflected in his live setup. He uses 4 Marshall 4 x 12 cabinets, 2 straight cabs stacked on top of 2 straights, and all are loaded with 70 watt Marshall/Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The two top cabs are driven by two separate JCM SLASH signature amps dedicated to his clean sound. Similarly, the two bottom cabs are driven by a a pair of SLASH signature heads set for his distorted rhythm/lead tones. SLASH has a fifth 2555 solely for use with a Heil Talkbox (see below).
A little more on the SLASH signature amp: It is the first Marshall signature amp for any artist. The amp is based on the amp SLASH has sworn by since day one, the Jubilee 2555 head of 1987. Many great artists, including Hendrix, have sworn by Marshalls, but something unique about SLASH's playing style led the company to recognize him above other guitarists. Marshall has described SLASH as having a "...highly emotive yet fiery style, [that is] in many ways timeless". They recognize SLASH's style as having a retro 60s and 70s influence but always in a thoroughly modern style. The signature amp is a handwired all valve amp which marries the legendary roar of the 800 Marshall series power stage with a highly versatile pre-amp that that boasted a footswitchable "LeadMaster" control which effectively makes the 2555 a two channel head. By increasing the preamps gain when activated, this feature allows the user to switch back and forth lead and rhythm at the touch of a foot. The amp's versatility is enhanced by a Series effect loop and a push/pull function on the input gain control which, when pulled out, injects a subtle but effective distorted edge to the amp's rhythm tone. A high output (100 watts)/low output (50 watts) switch adds even further to the amp's flexibility and already wide tonal palette.
