Haha

Dime's tone on Far Beyond made me want a Dean so bad I couldn't stand it... Crunchy as a brand new bag of Doritos.

ZacAttack Your favorite guitar sounds (example) Iommi's sound in the first couple of Sabbath albums.


Amen to this. Such a fat power sound. On the song Heaven and Hell his tone just is incredible.

Also whatever Alex Lifeson is getting on Jacobs Ladder here

Silverchair's Frogstomp album sounded excellent.
Also I thought Foo Fighters have always had a great guitar sound, but the Wasting Light album sounded great.

I agree with you about the crunch. I've always loved that.

Also - David Gilmour's solo in Fat Old Sun Amazing

Frusciante's live tone around the time he came back to RHCP was perfect to me.

Also a Josh Homme sound is pleasing.

Their larger than life sound was achieved by layers upon layers of overdubbing. I think I read somewhere that Soma had 40 something dubs. Unfortunately that sound isn't achieved with one guitar, amp, pedal, etc. However, I'm pretty sure Corgan was a huge fan of the rack ADA MP1 pre-amps back in the day.


Yes, but if you look at their live performances in that era, they did an amazing job of recreating their "larger than life" sound.

Brian May's solo on 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'. Awesome tone.

The John Cipploina sound. Per Wikipedia:
Cipollina had a unique guitar sound, mixing solid state and valve amplifiers as early as 1965. He is considered one of the fathers of the San Francisco psychedelic rock sound.

"I like the rapid punch of solid-state for the bottom, and the rodent-gnawing distortion of the tubes on top."[2]

To create his distinctive guitar sound, Cipollina developed a one-of-a-kind amplifier stack. His Gibson SG guitars had two pickups, one for bass and one for treble. The bass pickup fed into two Standel bass amps on the bottom of the stack, each equipped with two 15-inch speakers. The treble pickups fed two Fender amps: a Fender Twin Reverb and a Fender Dual Showman that drove six Wurlitzer horns.[3]

Cipollina used a custom foot switch setup to select reverb, tremolo, Maestro Echoplex (the unit mounted on the right of the Twin Reverb), and Standel Modulux (on the left of the twin reverb). 12 volt automotive running lights indicated which effect was being used.

Cipollina also employed a Gibson Maestro Fuzz and Vox wah-wah/volume pedals.

Knopfler and Ry Cooder are the two I consistently enjoy. Plenty of others do great work but they don't really have their own sound that I quickly recognize, other than Garcia who is up there as well.

And Duane Allman.
