I agree. But I'd give even more to have Rod's range n rasp in this era. He did it with ease.That tone is just incredible, more so on the studio version. I always thought it was a fuzz tone. I kicked a ton of fuzz pedals out the door chasing Ron Wood's tone from this song. I love the box set from, "The Faces."
IDK, I think this is most people! but you have to ask yourself how did I get to my tone? It's no different that licks are runs or technique it's have all been borrowed and I think tone can fit in this category.Hate to be "that guy" - but my own. I've spent ages getting to a point where I'm very happy with my tones, and can get them across a ton of different gear with reasonably little effort.
Could be a direct tone. Straight into the desk. Was a very accepted practice in those days. Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, come to mind. Really bites.That tone is just incredible, more so on the studio version. I always thought it was a fuzz tone. I kicked a ton of fuzz pedals out the door chasing Ron Wood's tone from this song.

Andy Timmons or Lincoln Brewster... I'm not picky
Yeah it is totally fair to ask that. I think I have a slightly different experience to a lot of guitarists. When I was a child, I wasn't interested in guitar, or even guitar bands really. I didn't start to learn to play guitar until I was 19 years old; quite late compared to all of my friends and a lot of people I've spoken to about this topic. Most guitarists I've spoken to about this all started when they were between the ages of 9 and 15.but you have to ask yourself how did I get to my tone?
I considered asking what guitarists do you love but don't think they have a great tone.Will this be the point in the thread where Randy Rhoads is mentioned ?
FYI
I like Randy’s tone
Except that they did quite often use a keyboard player live going back to the Ozzy days.All over the years his tone has always been a distinctive and powerful wall of sound that doesn't require keyboards or a second guitarist
If someone else had posted this thread, I might have given a similar answer.Hate to be "that guy" - but my own. I've spent ages getting to a point where I'm very happy with my tones, and can get them across a ton of different gear with reasonably little effort.
The 5th member of SabbathExcept that they did quite often use a keyboard player live going back to the Ozzy days.
But I agree that he's always had a great sound. I actually really like more modem sounds he got on Seventh Star, Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, etc...
Exactly - Geoff was who I was thinking of.The 5th member of Sabbath
The keyboard player behind the stage.
Look up Geoff Nicholls
Tony’s massive sound also incorporates multi tracked guitars and Geezer’s playing style,
which is greatly underrated.
I put an Asatobucker in my Suhr Classic S and WOW! Perfect blend of vintage & modern tone.Another one I forgot:
Matteus Asato - his edge of breakup is to die for!
Yes, I thought about Holdsworth since my last post, too!In no particular order.
Lead tones: Andy Timmons, Allan Holdsworth, Eric Johnson, Allen Hinds, Scott Henderson, Michael Landau, Greg Howe.
Rhythm Tones (depends on context): EVH, Dean DeLeo, Frederik Thordendal, Mike Landau, John Mayer, Jeff Buckley, Prince, Pete Thorn
Too many to list but it's a starting point. Re-reading the list, I'm clearly all over the place
