Re: Name a better tone than...
That Woodstock movie, Pete Townshend in I can see for miles and miles, when they go to the instrumental bit at the end he's belting out the chords on a Gibson SG special with P90s through cranked Hiwatt stacks. Un-fucking-believably good tone.

Re: Name a better tone than...
Really love the tone Angus got on the solo for Back In Black (song), a lot of it in the fingers though eh
Hendrix's tone on Born Under a Bad Sign cover is delicious.
All EVH's Marshall era stuff.
But I'm a Marshall fan boy. Raw and raspy with balls!.. Raw, raspy balls.

The title of this video says 'recovered', but maybe it's a misquote.

Pity they left the clip-on tuners on during the video...
Nothing to see here.

Re: Name a better tone than...
Not a famous track at all. But one I love for the lead tone.
Beautiful LP through a mix of vintage and modern Marshall’s.

Yes, yes. I produced and co-mixed it. But hey...

Andy Timmons definitely deserves an honorable mention. He’s held in high regard for his tone and rightly so; his clean tone is killer. Found out that he uses a very small amount of reverb and two delays running into each other. He used to run two Memory Man’s (?) into each other, however a trusty Strymon Timeline handles that now

Cliche, I know, but Clapton on the Beano album. But who will ever get to crank a Marshall 1962 without tinnitus or the coppers being called?

Most shit U2 ever did - not lead tones but cool creative shit. Andy Summers, less the 80's records but certainly newer live stuff. Live Eagles gets me going too.

100% man. One of the first things I noticed when I found out about him years ago. Looked it up, Boogie Lonestars or sometimes Stilettos!Mini Forklift wrote: ↑Sat Dec 12, 2020 6:13 pm Andy Timmons definitely deserves an honorable mention.

Do people actually make money from YouTube? The ones without tens of millions of views per video I mean.
