"I can't stand them": Slash reveals he isn't a fan of using in-ear monitors live, but he does like using guitar plugins in the studio

AUSTIN, TEXAS - APRIL 02: Slash performs onstage during the 2023 CMT Music Awards at Moody Center on April 02, 2023 in Austin, Texa.

Slash and a stack: they just go together, right? But that doesn't mean he's not open to new ways to get the job done in the studio, and even open new sonic possibilities. And in a new interview with fellow six-stringer Ola Englund for the latter's Coffee With Ola series he's detailed how he likes to use guitar plugins for recording.

"So the Fractal thing, I haven't had any reason to go there," he says of amp modelling processors. "But plugins I use all the time because in the studio when you're doing stuff that doesn't necessarily have to be  'the Marshall sound' or whatever, you can get really interesting sounds from plugins and do a lot of unique things."
