Has perfect high gain guitar tone been achieved?

[84superchamp]

I think as far as various tonal options. We’re pretty much done

A re-awakening happened decades ago for me: Richard Robinson in open G (jealous again), a glorious "new" OD sound that I chased for a while before finding it.

Yes - Metalzone with all knobs maxed plugged straight in to a PA

Yes, it was achieved right before the amp blew up. We all know repairs can't recreate the exact magic because of "tolerances."

Thus, it will never be achieved again.

Imho a stock, well maintained 2204 or 2203 and a good boost pedal is where it's at.
