Well considering that I am almost certain you don't have the same amps he used to record the GnR albums (and especially AFD...more on that later), the amp settings don't matter at all.
The Use Your Illusion albums were (mostly) JCM800s with 6550 tubes. (Probably a 2210...yes I know...its not the 2203...wtf was wrong with him right? wow...) Anyways, you might have this one, I don't know. Not hard to get, just gotta rebias for the tubes.
Appetite For Destruction was mostly like a rented Marshall 1959T that had the tremolo modded into an extra preamp stage. Then there is the guitar dispute. So many articles say it was his ultra rare '59 LP copy on the whole thing...but I don't know about you, but I hear some sounds reminicent of active pickups and divebombs.
So you got that covered?
If you do, I am sorry and I don't know that actual settings so I just wasted your time. My bad.
EDIT:
Just remembered there is a VelvetRevolver album.
Now you need a Marshall Jubilee before you start worrying about the actually settings.
For clean, there was most a Vox AC30, but they had a Fender Deluxe I belive that got mixed in a bit, but it seems to me I remember reading it was mostly the Vox. Sounds like it too on the album.
If you have a Mesa amp, no matter which one it is, you will not be getting closer just by matching up were Slash keeps his treble control set at. The amps are nothing a like at all. Infact, the speakers are another thing...you might have to dime the treble or bass if your speakers don't work in the same fashion.
Anyway you cut it, its an endless battle.

hold on....<pull slip of paper out of ass>....oh sorry that was tom delonge of blink 182's amp set up.....hold on a sec.......<fumbles around>......sry it seems as if i dont know the specific settings.....you'd think everyone would know it off the top of their heads......sheesh, why ask when you know your going to get the same people complaining and trying to explain that to get the same sound you do not just need the same amount of bass and gain....you need to replicate his rack...so instead of focusing on that....play the song and make it sound similar.

guitar on appetite...
i remember reading where he had a Jackson maybe and did a lot of recording with it then when he was changing strings he took wire cutters and cut all the strings at once under full tension, the neck tweaked and never was the same after that <<so there might be the dive bombs that were referanced earlier, i think he also use some strat on the revolver album also ....

No, the divebomb isn't an extreme divebomb.
There are a few parts.
These are time estimates from my ripped MP3s
Its So Easy
1:38
Night Train
2:29 (kinda)
2:37-2:40 (could be just sliding up the neck, but its a very smooth transistion - could go either way [finger slide or whammy] IMO)
2:51-2:54 (I must be a moron guitarist if that isn't a whammy bar)
3:04 +/- with spots continuing all the way to-
3:29 (no questions asked which verifies the rest IMO) Fuck it. The whole rest of the solo too.
