Members rburgess Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Dude nothing is worse than scooped mids, that's like where all your tone comes from, it doesn't sound terrible on record but try cutting through the mix in a live situation with no mids. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Danny Gatton .Sounded like he couldnt afford a decent guitar or amp . It's weird but true. Not all the time, but sometimes he's unlistenable. Maybe it's the nasally Bardens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MyEmergency Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 I can't believe Dave Grohl is on this list lol, he has such a good straightforward rock tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jarick Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 I never liked Groh's clean tone after switching from the Mesas to Vox. It always sounds a bit muffled and over compressed. Could be the production though. TCATS was amazing tone though IMO> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jak83 Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 I can't believe Dave Grohl is on this list lol, he has such a good straightforward rock tone. No kidding, that was my first thought when I saw this list. For low-mid gain rock n roll, I think you're hard pressed to beat Dave's tone. There's something to be said for a rig as simple as his.

Members scuzzo Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 grohl is amazing.. fantastic drummer,, hell of a song writer, and i really dig the whole double octave vibe to his sound... that band has some freaking energy.. he is really able to hold the beat down with his rhythm guitar,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members noisebloom Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Not the 'worst', but I've always been disappointed in Robert Cray's tone. Seemed thin and washed out, compared to the excellence of his playing. I always think how much better he'd sound if he let me adjust his amp settings..... +1. Great player, but his tone is too clean.

Members JoJo68 Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Eh, none of them annoy me. Don't know about Michael Angelo, lol. Personally I'd say the Def Leppard boys or someone like them that has that watered down overprocessed tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JoJo68 Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Give Steve Vai PRS straight into a Matchless and his tone would be the most improved, he is such a great guitarist but some times it sounds like he is playing rubber bands on plywood (other times it simple sounds like a Ibanez Strat with a Handle cut out of it and I have been in studios with his settup and no one sounded any bettter... in fact his rig stayed offI apologize to anyone that spent their hard earned money on that guitar on a positive note I know they have good action good pups and a useful (throwing )carrying handle. ( and I play a BC Rich even more hated than that!).... Neil Yong, Jimmy Page? Tone monsters! I agree his tone is too processed as it Satch imo.

Members Welladjusted Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Of those listed, Slipknot. If I have a hard time discerning actual notes being played, you're using too much gain and tuned too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members undergod12 Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 Despite putting on some of the best live performances I have ever seen, I always thought Sam Black Church had a terrible guitar tone.

Members FoonkySteve Posted April 25, 2011 Members Share Posted April 25, 2011 PRince has the worst tone of all men, when playing live the last 15-20 years using those stoopid plasic clouds and big key shaped geetars, processed through all the {censored} you could imagine. See RAVE un2 the year 2000 millenium gig. OUCH! Great gig though and great playing other than that. He sounds great with a tele though ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
