Steve Albini, ofcourse... the man's like a total genious

tom verlaine (yeah everything is awesome and that clean sound is perfect but listen to little johnny jewel where he doesnt plug in an amp and listen to the beautifull sound created with almost nothing.
will and jim reid- fuzz gods
ron asheton-think 1969, no fun and many many more...
hendrix-he's just a pure genious when it comes to tone.
stever turner & mark arm- some more fuzz gods.
lou reed. ofcourse.
adam and jimmy (swervedriver) - perfect tone
keith richards!
t-boy and lee-man

and ofcourse:

J MASCIS

uh.

i can't really apply the good / bad tone - in guitar especially. there's tones - every tone can be useful to some purpose. some tones might not be fitting for a particular genre. in that case - i would classify that "wrong tone".


anyhow...
long list. i'll do it later.

Ten of my personal favorites....

John Lennon (for his White Album-era tone)
George Harrison (of course I love some of his Beatle-era tones to but I especially love his post-Beatles slide tone)
Eric Clapton (especially the vintage stuff, from his much imitated "beano" tone with John Mayall on through his infamous "woman tone" with Cream and his early Strat tones in the seventies)
Keith Richards
Mick Taylor
Lou Reed
Sterling Morrison
Evan Dando
Thurston Moore
Lee Ranaldo

modest mouse live has really shitty guitar tone the treble is always was to high but they still have great live performances. Playing live seems to fuck up a lot of gutarist tone

Jack White's guitar tone is awesome...

Pavement's guitars on Slanted and Enchanted sound awful. Great album though.

I love the guitar tones on Slanted. Perfume-V sounds perfect. Jagged and distorted but strangely beautiful. Proof that Pavement could have easily been a great shoegaze band!

It's never cool to bump your own thread, but seeing as how the 'fave riff' thread is starting to bleed into matters of tone, and cos this thread is over a year old and people's minds change about this kind of stuff ....
BUMP!

I just basically want the cleanest tone possible. I'm usually not a fan of distortion. The best clean tone I've heard in a while is probably Suishou No Fune's.

On the subject of Fahey, anyone know what effect pedal he used on those last few albums? It's a weird echo. He used it on EVERY SONG. It sounds great.
