The top-hatted guitar slinger trots out his first pedalboard since the ’80s to flavor up his Blues Ball Band’s saucy summer tour in support of their debut album Orgy of the Damned.
Slash’s blues-rock romp Orgy of The Damned debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Blues Albums Chart this spring. Now, the legendary guitar slinger is taking it to the people with his 29-date S.E.R.P.E.N.T. Blues Festival tour. When Slash’s Blues Ball Band played an intimate pre-tour gig at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, they invited John Bohlinger and the PG team.
Before shooting our Rundown with singer/guitarist Tash Neal and Slash’s tech, Ace Bergman, Slash sat down with PG for a chat. The maestro tells Bohlinger about how he found his blues sound on a 1963 Gibson ES-335 he picked up at Norman’s Rare Guitars in Los Angeles. That guitar was copied by the Gibson Custom Shop for the Slash 1963 ES-335 Collector’s Edition model, which he now brings on the road.
On Orgy of the Damned, Slash and company are digging into a different repertoire than his usual hard-rock-’n’-rollin’ fare. In this case, he’s re-exploring influences and old bands. “All these songs had … a very specific influence on me,” he explains. Back in the ’90s, Slash formed his Blues Ball Band, and he was inspired to pick that project back up, record, and hit the road to play “music that I really loved when I was a kid.”

So I guess all this is straight into the front of the amp? Even the delay?
Honestly, I don't watch these unless the actual artist is demoing his gear. To me, that's kind of the point of these. The guitar tech, as cool as he may be, isn't the same.
Is that delay in the efx loop or infront of the amp?
SRV used a Tubescreamer ????????????????????????, Is he sure about that ?
That’s a small stage…
For the people complaining about his indepth explanations, imagine you're a beginner getting into guitar for the first time, and you watch these videos to help you see how your favorite players achieve their sound. I think having someone explain what everything does is probably going to be helpful and interesting.
We get it, you know what everything does, you're such a big boy and you're very special.
Humble yourselves before commenting silly things.
Am I crazy or is the host just being nice because this tech has the most basic explanations on all of these boomer pedals lol
Oh no way, Ill have to check out that.. how do you say it again.. Tube Screamer pedal? Did I get that right??
SRV used a tube screamer !!
I love how Saul couldn't be bothered for this interview.
Забавно, что никто не ударил по струнам. Рассказали про звук????
Slash, bring back the boost signature wah 2:05. I own that one. Make me feel like we still sound the exact same when playing guitar ???????????????? (I wish)
1:34 Why the tape over the knobs? Is it so people can't see the settings?
Can’t go wrong with a tube screamer
No tones? No care
Met Ace when I was a kid. Great guy, he gave me a pic of Slash's and let me take photos of Slash's guitars
For me the best Slash sound I've ever heard was the live in Sydney with the Conspirators.
holy shit i use an mxr cae line driver boost too! straight-forward, transparent gain juice.
And this is air, people breathe it fast or slow or hot or cold, when one dies air does not get used…????
The best tuner is an Evertune bridge
Basically a stock, straight off the shelf, pedal collection. That's what I like, great artists using "normal" stuff that anyone can buy.
I would have to be a billionaire to actually afford those pedals.
Technician: "… and that's the tubescreamer"…
Bohlinger:"Wow!!!!!"
????????????
We're all rubes.
This dude is an idiot.
Why is he talking like John works for Good Morning America? We know what these basic bitch ass pedals do…
This is awesome I have the Evh phase 90, ibenez tube screamer and a wah I just need slash to sign my les Paul then we are good ????????????????
Pedals for Real Dummies
Subscribe in channel ????????
Leslie is actually before the phaser! ????
Is this a parody? This guy is really outta touch. Poor John.
???????????????????????????????? 10,000 years of orgy of the damned ????️????️????️????️????????☮️????☮️????☮️????????☮️????️????☮️????️????☮️????️????☮️????????️
John smiles like he's never heard of any of these pedals. ????
Great! But no sounds ????❤️
He’s pretty self contained said by the tech who hooks it all up and breaks it all down and even takes the time to explain it
Man, Slash looks so different without his top hat. They keep referring to him in the third person which is also weird.
Mogami patch cables. Best
Surprising there's no distortion or fuzz
Where is Adam Day?
This video could be 2 minutes long but this guys yaps lol
How long has Slash had Captain Obvious teaching for him?
As much as I love slash he lost he way
