>>128461794
>>128461794The Brown sound was and always will be the GOAT tone. listen to it isolated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSjcOlrk5F8
>>128462000He's up there, ragged but right. Some moreTom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's tones on Marquee Moon are gorgeous. Roger McGuinn's chime on those early Byrds records.Fripp's thick Evening Star tone.
>>128461794Cantrell
>>128462646Lmao no he isn't
>>128467493Only thing shittier than hendrix is his shit tone. Some of these answers are fucking awful. Stop posting.
Keith Richards and it isnt close, guitar nerds will never mention him though

>>128461794Billy Corgan
>>128468854Lmao
>>128469048it’s obvious. meanwhile aic has a generic 80s hard rock sound
>>128469206Sure they do nerd
>>128461794G&L remade his signature model just for you. Then promptly went under. Literally the last guitar they ever built.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDf7A1SiaIA
>>128468455Fuck outta here, everyone has 400 different pedals to try and emulate Jimi did with a Wah and Fuzz. SSS Strat will always be GOAT
>>128470266>fuck outta here
>>128461794depends on the album, style, etc, it's really way too broad of a question, but If we are talking about heavy guitar tone, I love stuff that Colin Richardson was involved in likeCarcas- HeartworkMachine Head - Burn My eyesFear factory- Demanufactureother than that: Metallica - Master of Puppets
>>128462646>truke, Cobain was a tone godDoes he have a tone at all?
Michio Kurihara
Siamese Dream
>>128471777trips of truth
>>128471777trips of truthI think that's more Butch than the people he's recording tho
>>128461794FACGCE sounds really good most of the time.FACGCE is an alternate guitar tuning where the strings are tuned to F, A, C, G, C, and E, from low to high, deviating from the standard EADGBE.

>>128468455I like it herehttps://youtu.be/JxfuQ8a5gwA?si=z5hm-ELcAmVClAV6
I saw Stonefield live years ago and it was the only time in a live setting I thought HOLY SHIT and went to the front of the stage to see what her rig was to try and copy it
>>128467946How can there be any other answer? are zoomers this clueless?
>>128473514Knopfler mogs tone
>>128473601That's cute.

Greg Sage
>>128461794Led Zeppelin guitar tone makes me cum.
>>128474392yup. The isolated tracks are really enlighteninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RweYvX_p3DM
I've always really liked Jeff Buckey's tone. Is this a weird answer?
The solo in sixteen blue by replacements has some of the best tone I ever heard
>>128481588It's classic. Nothing wrong with that. He mostly played a Tele and Fender amps.
>>128480364based
Joe Baiza
>>128461794Ritchie Blackmore. If your guitar ain't sounding like a jet engine you're doing something wrong and Blackmore had all the range and versatility on top of that. After him; there are only monster tones like VH, West, Satriani, best boy EJ and Frusciante.
>>128481153its insane how he can make it sound so warm and heavy yet so bright and brittle at the same time.
>>128481153kek boomer rock fans itt think their guitar tones are more interesting than those of alternative rock.
>>128484863Amp sounds by the 90s all relied on preamp gain. It's cool and convenient, and I use it a lot. But it's no comparison to a cranked power amp.
>>128481588>>128483151good calls
>>128483979seconding
>>128462452This. When I think of Tone for a guitarist Geordie Walker is the first that comes to mind. Immense sound out of that hollow body ES-295. RIP
>>128461794Iommi's tone for Into The VoidMore controversial selection: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
>>128484863Is this cope? seems like it. Everyone knows EVH had the best tone ever.
Mick from Slipknot. Jim’s is also good, but Mick’s sound defined the band
