Re: Who has *the* tone?
How many of those tones were actually made with the dimebucker and not his original Bill Lawerence pickups?

I know none of the Pantera albums have it on it. I'm not 100% sure about the damage plan album. Ive heard both ways.

The obvious, boring answer would be Gilmour. I always thought Mike Einziger had something cool going on, but that just might be his effects.. And the tone is not something I'm going for these days anyways.
But the previous endorsed, Scott Henderson, man... THAT TONE!

Oh well then the BL pups are amazing sounding. Although the Dimebucker does sound enough like the Pantera tone

Haha, I have a Peavey 3120 head and I was surprised by it. Like, a lot. It's very much my tone and I hone it. I would like an OD but I tried a TS-9 and it didnt mesh well with the head. But yeah, I'm happy with my heavy as hell but warm tone that I get from my 3120. ;D

I pretty much would kill for George Lynch bridge sound and Yngwie Malmsteen neck sound, but that's just me and my preferences.

Robert Smith isn't an endorser, but he does use a pair of 59s in his main guitar.

I imagine you could get pretty close with a Screamin Demon, YJM, and a cranked Marshall.

Re: Who has *the* tone?
I have the screamin' demon and I'm already somewhat close to a Lynch type tone at the bridge since my Rivera does have a british voiced channel that gets close to a Plexi or JCM800, But I have a DiMarzio Chopper in the neck and I bought it before I knew Yngwie had his new signature Fury pickup thru SD. I might do a swap of the neck with a Fury just to check it out.

Re: Who has *the* tone?
Two of my favorite tones have been the opening chord to the Who's "We won't get fooled again" and the intro clean tone to Green Day's "Waiting"; however, I don't believe either of those were done with Duncans.

Oh yeah. Pete Townshend had some of the most amazing tone ever. I believe that most of Who's Next was recorded with a hollow-body Gretsch and a volume pedal through a Fender tweed amp.
