What is your favorite tone of Guitar? I recently rediscovered an old favorite from Chino (lead singer of Deftones) side project Team Sleep. That guitar in the beginning is superb.
One of my favorite guitar tones is any song Derek Trucks plays and, remarkably, he uses no pedals. I think I recall him saying he didn't want anything between him and his amp.
FWIW on some of our blues projects for which we didn't collaborate with a forum guitar player I rendered a blues RT solo "direct input" and applied a Logic Pro amp sim called "Black and Blue Distortion." Not being an electric guitar player I've had to learn a few fundamentals from electric playing friends since the amp sim allows many options on the head unit, cabinet choice and virtual mic placement, etc. It's been fun and feedback from those same friends has been positive. Very old dog and new tricks
Nope, I meant Johnny Smith. I love pure full bodied jazz guitar tones.
Like I said there are a lot of excellent guitar tones out there. BB King, Stevie Ray, Albert King, Chet Atkins, Tony Mattola, George Benson, Zappa, and the list goes on and on. But I always come back to the pure jazz guitar tone.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
One of my favourite tones is Jonsi from Icelandic band Sigur Ros. He's famous for playing his guitar with a cello bow, then soaking the signal in reverb to get some really bizarre sounds. It can produce some really nasty screeches and also some nice shimmery ambience, a great example of just how versatile an instrument the guitar can be. The guitar in this video really gets going at about 1:20.
Also a big fan of a nice Telecaster into an old Fender amp, pushed just to the point of breaking with a tube screamer with a touch of spring reverb. Simple, proven and oh so effective.
It was straight guitar into my POD2 by Line 6 IIRC. Normally I don't like to use any FX stomp boxes but here recently I have become a convert to a certain smooth booster.... but this one was straight to the POD from my 69 SG.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I like how the solo builds in intensity as it progresses, very smooth!
So many. Almost too hard to list out. Here's a few from the top of my head across a variety of genres: Van Halen in Ain't Talkin Bout Love Knopfler in Brothers in Arms Dean Cab For Cutie in El Dorado The Edge in a whole bunch of songs with the dotted 8th delays

Death Cab?
You have a lot of similar interests to me. I like all of those.

I will add to my list
Absolutely agree with you except I have never heard of no:3 until now
I add Queen and Brian May in Killer Queen, or in fact any solo by Dr May. Gary Moore in Parisienne Walkways Hank Marvin in any Shadows song Carlos Santana in Samba Pa ti Roger Mcguinn and his 370-12 Rickenbacker 12 string, in say Tambourine Man.
Way too many -- actually I don't have THE favorite guitar sound. There are some exceptional players who achieve(d) a great sound more than once.
(Listing in no particular order, and others have been mentioned already) Les Paul Jørgen Ingman Peter Green Wes Montgomery B. B. King Paco de Lucia Arthur Smith Django Reinhardt ...
Van Halen in Ain't Talkin Bout Love Knopfler in Brothers in Arms Dean Cab For Cutie in El Dorado The Edge in a whole bunch of songs with the dotted 8th delays
Death Cab?

Yes! Oops. Dang typing on a phone!
Here's another set that have come to mind: Neal Schon in Lights Nancy Wilson in Barracuda Steve Lukather in Rosanna. Andy Summers in Message In A Bottle Stevie Ray Vaughan in , well everything he ever played
Hi ChinCH, all great guitar tones! - Digital Amp simulations have become quite popular. Have you heard about Sansamp? if not you can learn more about it here: http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/sansamp/
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
