How would you discribe your tone and...

Demonstrating once more my belief that much more of a player's tone is derived from the player's technique than it is from the equipment he/she uses.

I'd call it our trademarks. :rockon:

I think that's a big part of it. The other thing, with me anyhow, is that, probably without realizing it, I know what sounds good to me, and I adjust amps accordingly, really without even thinking about it.

It's not like I have specific settings where I can do something like think, "well tonight I'm using an open-back 2x12 rather than a closed-back ported 1x15, therefore I'll change the settings from one to the other by doing xyz," but since I just set stuff by ear, it tends to all end up sounding as similar as possible without me really thinking about it.

Fender Strat- Blackface Bassman- Dab of Tubescreamer. Think Kid Ramos, Greasy Kid's Stuff tone. Mike

I'd like to think that "my tone" is a combination of whatevers going on with my head, heart and hands at the time I'm playing, regardless of guitar or amph.

I adjust the tools accordingly, and go from there.

I will now go to another area of the house and continue to be all "new agey."

Clear and bright, like the sound of jackboots on wet cobblestones.

Good description...........I'm the same w/ my playing....."tone"......whatever you want to label it. Plus it depends on how much time you have to dial in "your tone".

Fender into Fender with something a little Marshally for overdrives (TS types, RATs). I sound nothing like SRV, if that's your idea of that combo. If given a non-Fender amp I immediately try to make it sound like one viz. what Brian said above.

If groove is in the heart then where is tone?

 

[Robert]

Tone is in the gut. Just don't puke it out!

Tone doesn't reside. It manifests as called.

90% of the time I play clean, maybe very slightly overdriven with the help of a pedal. I prefer warm cleans.
