Re: Kings of Clean Tone?
I'd say Peter Green is one of my favorites... like no other.. except for maybe BB King. That out of phase tone that was thin and chimey then another second fat... awesome, im thinking it was the combination of out of phase buckers.. those fat clean KT88s.. and his really amazing vibrato and phrasing. The Supernatural, Albatross, and Jumping at Shadows had some amazing tone and playing.
Mark Knopflers another.. Sultans of Swing is one of the best cleans ive heard.
I dont think Hubert Sumlin can be forgotten either... probabally THE sweetest tone ive ever heard. I guess its that no pick finger picking.. and maybe some amazing fingers. "What a Woman" still amazes me everytime i hear his solo.
Jimi Hendrix and SRV were both amazing too. Both Little Wings were some of the chimiest tones ive ever heard.

You may have said those as a joke, but I agree with those choices. To me EVH's clean sounds on songs like Women In Love, Hear About It Later, In A Simple Rhyme, Secrets, and Cathedral are absolutely stunning. Hetfields are pretty damn awesome as well.

I will have to agree with Mark Knopfler as well. great clean tone.
Any Summers man from the Police had some great clean stuff as well.
Great post Joneser! Yeah the guy from Cris Issac is awesome. Hey how bout the guy from Huey Lewis and the News??? what is his name? He got some awesome tone, that whole band rocked ( then again he did use the Tower of Power Horns!)
I will also have to agree with EVH on some of his clean stuff like hear about it later and push comes to shove.
Henrix Definately had some great clean tones. Gilmour man sounds amazing clean as well. SRV.
Dann Huff????? he is an awesome player man but not for tone. It sounds like an oversized rack or something. sorry.

He has a tremendious great touch and sound, hear him with less popstyle stuff and he switches to his more down to earth sound, which he has stated quite a few times is to his own likings as well, the rest is for the big money productions.
Gilmour and Landau has great clean sounds as well.
Then I can inform you that you have not heard enough of him then!

Hey RId are you talking about the Giant stuff, cause i got all the albums. i think the songs are great and catchy, i have stated so many times that the stuff on those albums is pretty great, but i dont dig his tone too much.
are you talking about other stuff?
i totally agree that he is an awesome player!

Man he has played on a ton of albums!!!
He and Landau was first call studio players for a very long time, now he produces and sometimes takes a session as well, in Nashville!
The guy always had a great knack for getting the right part and sound for the tune.

I forgot about Brian Setzer, Robben Ford, and Edge. You don't realize how huge Edge's sound is till you see U2 live. It's just brilliant that they can get those Roland delays to jive with old Vox AC-30's.
