Shnate McDuanus Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's Larry LaLonde for me. He's got such a unique and interesting tone, and it really complements the rest of the band. It's true that the fingers are part of the equation, but he couldn't get that tone without a few certain pieces of gear, mostly the Big Muff. Yeah, he could use any amp (he still sounds best through JCM 800s though) and any guitar (now, this really is true--he can get the same great tone from Strats, from Les Pauls, from PRS Double Cuts etc.,) because a Muff-style fuzz is the biggest part of his tone, but he couldn't get that tone without a Muff. EDIT: I got rid of the political stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 just play the game man! Fair enough, My favorite tone overall comes from Tony Iommi, initially a Gibson SG through a Laney amp. I like that Tony has used a great palate of tones and sounds over the years and they all sound good not to mention his endless riff creativity.

brad1 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 WARREN HAYNES It usually sounds so smooth, so deliciously creamy and warm. Even when he's blazing in the higher notes. Allman Bros., Govt. Mule, Warren Haynes Band. Check out some of his stuff. And in concert - he's the best I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFrills Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I can not say anyone has the best tone to my ears. For me it would range from Adam Jones of Tool, Billy Corgan, Mark Tremonti, Jimi Hendrix.....it all depends on the Genre. They all have different things I like about their tones but never anything as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 All kidding aside, I think personally that "tone" has more to do with a specific concept for a specific piece. Frankly I think one weakness to "band" guys is that there's often a tendency always to sound pretty much the same on everything. "Studio" guys, or people playing a wide range of styles, tend to figure out how to get different sorts of tone for different sorts of music. So... my thought would be that it's more a matter of whether a sound from a guitar "fits" an overall arrangement or not. Unfortunately one often doesn't have the slightest idea about the potential a certain talented and skilled guitarist might have if he/she were put into another genre or were playing with another band. The "tone" might be quite different. Even a classical guitar offers a wide range of tones depending on one's technique; the exceptional guitarist will match that tone and technique to the arrangement. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
