How much time and money do we spend looking for new and better amps, pedals, guitars? Does it make us better musicians? I don't think so. Billy Gibbons (for example) could walk into guitar center and pick a low end Epiphone Les Paul off the rack and plug it into a Vox Valvetronix (nothing exceptional about either of these, I'm just using them to make a point here) and wail up a storm. And so could I, and lots of other guys. But its satisfying to have that extra edge on your riff. Something that sets you apart. Kind of like the taste of a really fine wine. Sure you can buy a decent wine at a good gourmet market, but to really enjoy, you need to research, taste, buy and cellar your own. Its subtle but satisfying.
I am going to share my discoveries about guitar tone here, and hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment and or add your own experience.
