| Fav. Guitar Tones
Just a random list of guitar tones that I find to be...well...delicious | | 1 | Between The Buried And Me
Selkies: The Endless Obsession
BTBAM has always had some pretty sweet tones, but just the way everything comes together in this song just makes it that much better. Plus, the arpeggio section at the end, basically the smoothest solo tone I've heard in a long time. | | 2 | The Fall Of Troy
Ex-creations
I've always been a huge fan of Erak's tone, but the pinch harmonics and natural harmonics just sound lovely. Honestly, the song was one of the main reasons I decided to get an Orange. | | 3 | The Sound Of Animals Fighting
Act I: Chasing Suns
Normally, the tone of a strat kind of gets on my nerves, but there's just something about the way it meshes with the song, its almost flawless. Especially the second solo section. | | 4 | UnderOath
In Regards To Myself
What can I say, its heavy as **** | | 5 | Tera Melos
Last Smile For Jaron
In my opinion, they found the perfect clean tone to fit their insanely technical tapping. Plus there's that lovely harmonic section in the middle. | | 6 | Johnny Truant
The Bloodening
Again, just heavy as **** | | 7 | Sigur Ros
Saeglopur
Just that swelling of noise during the buildup. Best use of a cello bow with a guitar in...well...ever (bring on the "how dare you exclude Jimmy Page" comments" | | 8 | Fear Before The March Of Flames
Drowning The Old Hag
Honestly one of the thickest guitar tones I've ever heard. Hooray for Hagstrom! | | 9 | Killswitch Engage
pretty much anything
Just simply a great metalcore guitar tone. Plus Adam D. helped design their stomp boxes, which is pretty cool IMO. | | 10 | Coheed And Cambria
Neverender
I don't know what it is about that tone, there's just this edge to it that I've never really come across anywhere else. Plus, the clean tones aren't half bad either. | | 11 | Buckethead
Big Sur Moon
There's just something about an acoustic coupled with a spacey delay... | | 12 | Explosions In The Sky
Birth and Death of the Day
Lovely clean tones, and that spacey/echoey guitar line in the intro sounds spectacular. | | 13 | The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Maps
The cleans with delay are pretty decent, but something about the way the distortion kicks in just does it for me. | | 14 | The Dillinger Escape Plan
Sugar Coated Sour/43% Burnt
Just the shear rawness and intensity of it, and the free jazz (ish) break in 43% Burnt has some interesting clean tones. | | 15 | Led Zeppelin
The Ocean
Might seem a bit out of place but if you listen closely, the tone is really interesting. I'm pretty sure Jimmy Page uses some kind of coil tap/odd pickup wiring to get the tone to sound out of phase and (pleasantly) nasal. Sort of like the pop of a stratocaster with the richness of a Les Paul. Classic | |

08.15.08 | I left out all the stereotypical shred guitar tones, for the simple fact that they all seem pretty standard to me. I fully expect the complaining about Petrucci and Co. not being on the list, but I'm ok with it. | AmericnZero02
08.16.08 | Because you put 4 on here I'm now listening to DTGL. Good call on that one. | BallsToTheWall
08.16.08 | Drudkh. | natey
08.16.08 | awesome list. I always think of 1 when I think of tones I love. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14 are sick. | stephenhannibal
08.18.08 | great list dude... i must say 1347 are fantastic. |
