Third Eye Blind's first two albums quite honestly have some of my favorite guitar tones.

Not just guitar tones but everything on those albums sounds top notch.
Whoever mixed and mastered those albums did an amazing job.

Late 70s Al Di Meola compressed Ovation. Love it!

How could anyone ever feel guilty about liking this tone?

Whenever I hear that Ovation tone it sounds like a child’s plastic guitar with those plastic strings.
I can’t stand that tone. Lol

Their producer was Eric Valentine. He deserves a lot credit for their success because they never sounded that great live. That's mostly due to how much layering and overdubbing there was one those albums. One their songs called "The Background" I believe had sixteen separate tracks of just guitar parts.

On a side note, their original guitarist Kevin Cadogan, did a podcast awhile back where he talked about writing process on those first two albums. It's called No Guitar is Safe with Jude Gold.

Most people don't like it. Which is why I think it works in this thread. But I have a hard time separating his playing from that sound- it works well for what he was doing with it. He largely abandoned steel string playing these days. Nylon string only, with a very occasional electric tour.

I used to have an Ovation and it never sounded plastic to me.

Gary Moore Blues Alive Soldano SLO Les Paul Tone. Being primarily a modern worship player now pulling that off in that setting is a hoot!
THIS!

I also had one. Acoustically it sounded like any other acoustic. But plugged in it didn’t do it for me.

First Evanescence record. Down tunings and baritones and sevens and Dual Rectifiers.

Once again, what's to feel guilty about?

We're for once not talking about blues and classic rock tones so we feel kinda guilty. [emoji14]

I think we are just talking about tones we don't typically use and/or never use in public? Duane Eddy sure as heck wouldn't think twice about the tone I mentioned in my post. It's just out of character for me as a player.

I have an Adamas, which is an Ovation with a medium bowl & carbon fiber top. It doesn't have that typical Ovation super-shallow sound. It is really loud!

Well, in truth, mine was an '89 Collector's series. So maybe it sounded a bit better than the average Applause version.
