I dont care if he's not super technically skilled and if its based on Billy's tone. The nevermind guitar tone is the standard to me.
Also Nine Inch Nails The Fragile tone

Jimmy page had the best layering to make his guitars chunky

He's up there, ragged but right.
Some more
Tom 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.

Cantrell

Lmao no he isn't

Only 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

>>128467946
Even Jerry would agree with this.

G&L remade his signature model just for you. Then promptly went under. Literally the last guitar they ever built.

Fuck outta here, everyone has 400 different pedals to try and emulate Jimi did with a Wah and Fuzz. SSS Strat will always be GOAT

depends 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 like
Carcas- Heartwork
Machine Head - Burn My eyes
Fear factory- Demanufacture

other than that: Metallica - Master of Puppets

FACGCE 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.

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
>>
>>128481588
It's classic. Nothing wrong with that. He mostly played a Tele and Fender amps.

Joe Baiza

>>128461794
Ritchie 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.
>>
>>128481153
its insane how he can make it sound so warm and heavy yet so bright and brittle at the same time.
>>
>>128481153
kek boomer rock fans itt think their guitar tones are more interesting than those of alternative rock.
>>
>>128484863
Amp 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.

This. 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
>>
>>128461794
Iommi's tone for Into The Void
More controversial selection: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
>>
>>128484863
Is 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
