Arkangel's Dead Man walking's tone.
The Haunted's tone is neat too, pretty agressive...
Shockwave's tone on The Ultimate Doom

if you're talking about unique tones, Tom Morello and Dino Cazares (love the super-dry distortion)

I guess thats my list for so far.

[BLS]

The Haunted's tone on One Kill Wonder, they make those 5150's sound MEAN
Viles tone on Depopulate
Micheal Amott's tone, in carcass he had a greta sound, and he still does in arch enemy he uses 5150's also
Cannibal Corpse's one on The Bleeding
Cephalic Carnage has a cool sound, i think they use some solid state randalls
Exhumed's tone.. they also uses 5150's

I seem to have a hard on for 5150's :p

[DeadnightWarrior]

Suffocation, Burzum is good

Thin solo type stuff:
Alexi Laiho
Dark Moors sound
Blind Guardians sound

Jazz:
Wes Montgomery

[DeadnightWarrior]

I studied with the guy in THe Shred Is not Dead video when i went to the guitar clinic in CT it was fun, i also met symphony X guitarist, the big guy, hes ridiculously good

[Undying_Hatred]

the crunch from the intro to episode 666 and the bitch screams that Vogg from decapitated (especially on their new album) and jeff haneman get on usually their first notes to their solos

[Transient]

any idea how they get the tone on PFW def? or anyone? its so out there sounding

alexi does have a brilliant and likeable guitar tone too. all of their albums have the same sound, i dont know if they record in the same place or something but they all have a very distinct tone (with a few differences of course)

[MetalThrashingMad]

Pleasure to Kill - such a freakin oldschool sound
Agent Orange - Very similar to the sound I get out of my amp
Kerry's setup on 'Decade' - has an awesome tube roar, but at times actually a little TOO crunchy

[Necro_Butcher]

Forgot to mention the tone on Heartwork by carcass


gotta love that carcass crunch!

[DEAD]

Necrophagist: the new "Epitaph" album has the greatest tone/songwriting/and playing on it I have yet to hear.

[Dyldo]

Hmm..tone eh? I like a nice bold heavy tone. Any band I like usually means that I admire the tone.

[Transient]

somebody once described the sound of heartwork as "fwumpy"

i couldnt agree more

[BLS]

WTF is that supposed to mean??

Thier earlier stuff sounded like ass cause they were just playing the same bullshit noise that everyone is. But they eventually evolved and created the masterpeice known as "Heartwork" and if you think that tone sucks... than god damn i feel sorry for you... yet after all im not surprised you think burzum has a good tone :rolleyes:

[rapeandruin]

Lamb of God - As the Palace Burn tone

[Mordor]

[QUOTE=Def]
Death's tone on Symbolic
QUOTE]

fuck yea dude, i'd also have to say satriani's tone on surfin with the alien album, amon amarth, testament and probly cob

[diablero]

My all time favorite tone is Dime's!!!!All Pantera albums have smashing guitar, my most favorit is Far Beyond driven, the tone is so RAW - pure agression!!!
Death - The Sound of Perseverance (can't belive Chuck got that tone on Marshall Valvestate)
Metallica - Master of Puppetz - Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+, amasing!!!
Deicide - Once upon the cross - real death metal rawness
Kataklysm - Prophecy - the sound is preety basic, but sound so amasing and live!!!
Immolation - Unholy Cult - totaly non-death sound, very original, rich and opened with lots of mids - Triple rectifier
Steve Vai - briliant solo sound, very heavy rithms (the guy's got rack size of a fridge)
Yngwie Malmsteen - true Marshall rock sound, preety good (considering his single coil DiMarzios)

[BLS]

Ahhh how could i forget Dime's tone.

[Necro_Butcher]

i thought his tone was cool till i saw damageplan live



it doesnt cut through at all

[BLS]

His damageplan tone sucks. His Pantera tone is excellent and cuts through just fine

[Transient]

the guitar tone was good on heartwork, the drums werent

they just sounded "fwumpy"

[BLS]

Yeh, the drums sound good they arent harsh.

[DeathCS]

My favorite tone is distortion

[Jacob]

Any Slayer Or Dimmu Borgir
Sixpounder by Children of Bodom

[Brutur]

Skymning (Metallic)
Opeth (Hard but clean)
Madder Mortem (Very Hard)
and of course Dimmu Borgir and Mayhem

[CarnalAltar]

+1 on Chuck Schuldiner and Dimebag. Also the Amotts in Arch Enemy... can't tell which is which but I like em both.

[BLS]

Micheal is the one with the really smooth solo tone, Chris' is a bit more harsh. The easiest way to tell is if one is using a trem thats Chris.

[DeathCS]

Cannibal Corpse Tomb of the Mutilated tone is good.

[DEAD]

Carcass' masterpiece was Necroticism. The songwriting, solos, vocals, lyrics, sound, and drums surpass everything they did before and after.

[metalpro]

the phaser on COB's bodom after midnight.

[BLS]

Carcass' masterpiece was Necroticism. The songwriting, solos, vocals, lyrics, sound, and drums surpass everything they did before and after.

Corporal Jigsore Quandary is an awesome song. But i still think Heartwork is thier best. Even the cover is beautiful.

My favorite cd of all time.

[johnmansley]

...I'm so proud to be a Liverpudlian: "Liverpool, home to the Gods".

Anyway, my favourite tones are:

Cannibal Corpse on Gore Obsessed - it's the only CC album I own (yeah, I know, buy the other ones you muppet!) but the tone is so... crushingly heavy yet pristinely clear. Even though they tune to Bb on that album, you can hear every brutal note.

Nile on In Their Darkened Shrines - again, an excellent tone aided by a great production job made even more impressive by the fact that they tune to drop A.

Cryptopsy on And Then You'll Beg - they have evolved their tone over the course of the career to what it is on this album. They've retained the heavyness and that distinctive Cryptopsy feel while gaining more clarity. I just love Jon's neck pickup solo tone - especially on None So Vile and And Then You'll beg.

Most, if not all of the bands I like have got excellent tone, but these are the ones that are instantly memorable and a slight cut above the rest.

[Brutur]

I forgot to mention "The Enchanted"! Also a very dirty and powerful tune. :uzi: :smash:

[DeathCS]

Cannibal Corpse on Gore Obsessed - it's the only CC album I own (yeah, I know, buy the other ones you muppet!) but the tone is so... crushingly heavy yet pristinely clear. Even though they tune to Bb on that album, you can hear every brutal note.

Nile on In Their Darkened Shrines - again, an excellent tone aided by a great production job made even more impressive by the fact that they tune to drop A.

CCs other albums have much better tone IMO.
Agreed with Nile on In Their Darkened Shrines

[rapeandruin]

I like my current guitar tone on my guitar right now. Sounds really nice.

[DeathCS]

That is?? What does it sound like?

[obrien20]

Cannibal Corpse - Bloodthirst;
Carcass - Necroticism;
Death - The Sound Of Perseverance;
Control Denied - The Fragile Art Of Existence;
Vader - Revelations.

[Dissection]

My guitar tone is fine. Great for my style.

[Nihilist]

Necrophagist: the new "Epitaph" album has the greatest tone/songwriting/and playing on it I have yet to hear.
Yngwie death metal.

Disgorge - Consume The Forsaken
Deeds of Flesh - Inbreeding the Anthropophagi
Severed Savior - Brutality is Law
Vile - Stench of the Deceased
Cock & Ball Torture - Sadochismo
Putrid Pile - Collection of Butchery
Malignancy - Cross Species Transmutation. Amazing clarity in those pinch harmonics.
Cinerary - Rituals of Desecration

All albums with classy guitar tones.

[BLS]

I really LOVE Vile's tone, exspecially on Depopulate. Its so thick.

[Dissection]

I actually would have put Chuck's, but it needs a little more bass to it. But then again, Chuck Schuldiner could not do wrong in my eyes. :)

[Nihilist]

I really LOVE Vile's tone, exspecially on Depopulate. Its so thick.
This is true, the tone is monstrous on that album too. You should check out their previous efforts, if you haven't already.

[HELLBLASTER-666]

Dying Fetus - Killing On Adrenaline
Suffocation - Pierced From Within
At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
Nevermore - Dead Heart In A Dead World
Morbid Angel - Gateways To Annihilation
Death - Symbolic

[Hammy]

my favorite tones are:

children of bodom-trashed lost and strungout
old mans child-the pagan prosperity
metallica-kill em all
slayer-god hates us all
marduk-world funeral
malevolent creation-the fine art of murder
in flames-the jester race
cannibal corpse-gore obsessed
at the gates-slaughter of the soul

[johnmansley]

Severed Savior - Brutality is Law

Yes. Pristine clarity paired with amazing power - definitely one of the best tones on any album I've heard.

[johnlongstreth]

the best tone is prolly my engl tone. but besides that its prolly hate eternal conquering the throne - thedistortion is so smooth especially on spiritual holocuast or
dying fetus destroy the opposition - praise the lord is a wounderful creation
