Has perfect high gain guitar tone been achieved?

Saturation is fine if playing leads. Tight I don't need for most of the stuff I play. Some fast rhythm parts. Too tight is stiff. Too loose is flubby. The feel as much as the sound.

My idea of high gain is a lot less gain than most of the clips posted on RT. In general I prefer poweramp overdrive over preamp distortion.

The options for a guitar player now are endless compared to the 70's and 80's.

Young guitar players have no idea of the struggle.

they have no idea what a tube amp is period now . In my area if it ain’t digital they use $99 heads like b52 solid states . My studio had no idea what to with my Stealth when he wanted to jam . With his $99 Strat . He has $ . They just don’t care about time the same as we do

Perfect tone was achieved back in 1998 with Crowbar's "Odd Fellows Rest" album. Just listen to "Planets Collide" if you don't believe me.

According to Sammy Duet that was a Randall RG100ES into a Mesa OS cab. So yes, it is SS.

Sammy gets some great tones. I love his tone with Goatwhore, particularly on 'Carving...' album

I'll be honest, the newer bands with polished tones and everything in perfect timing does nothing for me. That raw sound like Motorhead's "Cradle to the Grave" is what I dig.

The older I get, the less I like over produced sounds. Guys like Paisley, Bonomassa and Koch have sounds I dig. Early EVH too.
 
Here ya go @Geo they are well into their 20s for this version. Maybe you can listen to the guitar without being distracted
