I know what you're saying. I'm a huge, huge Schon fan...to me his lead tone is sick. He uses reverb and delay to help shape that tone, which has become a part of my personal tone as well.
However, when you're that heavily 'effected' you lose some of your dynamics and 'crispness' in your phrasing. And...it seems more and more Neal uses some of his phrasing almost more as percussion than anything, creating that huge, booming reverb/delay explosion he uses between legit 'musical' phrases.
He seems to have two modes: 1) slow, tasteful, and very musical, or 2) so fast the notes become a blur.
Watch this, and note how often he lays his fingers totally flat against the fretboard during those spots - which means almost any accuracy with the notes is gone:
BUT...that huge boom thing has become a part of his playing. So not that there's necessarily anything 'wrong' with it...but if you're looking for crisp musical phrasing, when he takes off on one of his 'blurs' it just isn't going to be there.
