For me, its a definate tie between the into/outro solo in Reeling in the Years (Steely Dan) and the Whole Lotta Love Solo (Led Zeppelin)

 

 

Good calls. I think I read that Elliot Randall used a cranked Fender Champ on Reelin'.....some of the best two chord vamp solo work ever in my opinion.

 

I pretty much love all of Joe Walshes, David Gilmours and Martin Barres (Jethro Tulls) tones.

 

All guitarist' have flashes of brilliance in tone, wether intended or not. Currently I think Joe Bonamassa is the riegning tone monster....at least in my listening library.

I agree with the Steely Dan. That's one m-effin great sound.

 

I'll also go with the Foo Fighters first album and most all of QOTSA's songs.

AGREED! If I had to pick a song though it would be Unchained ... Never has the tone of a marshall ever been honed more gloriously.:thu:
