I love Cantrells tone on dickeye.

More obvious stuff would be Metallica sad but true. EVH on somebody get me a doctor, Whitesnake still of the night and Slash on AFD are all up there with anything imho…not super high gain but still pretty cranke
I love VH2 tones best. As in Van Halen 2 lol not the amp
 
Warrant -Uncle Tom’s Cabin
Slayer - Angel Of Death
SOD- Speak English Or Die album
Andy Timmons - Cry For Me
UFO - Lights Outreifn
That reign in blood album tone is so good . But after that album they lost the tones
 
Don't know about all the amps for sure but my favorite guitar tones (outside of EVH) are:

Megadeth - Countdown and Youthanasia
Metallica - Master and Black
Skid Row - Youth, Slave, and Subhuman Race
Killswitch Engage - End of, As Daylight
Montrose - 1
Motley Crue - Theater and Girls
Limp Bizkit
Scorpions
AIC
Tree One Four
311
 
Not sure what style you are working on, but for my money, it’s really hard to beat Zakk’s tone on No More Tears and Pride and Glory. (Love Zakk, but have no use for his nuclear hornets nest BLS tone.) No More Tears and Pride tones are vicious, but have so much organic, woody ‘girth’ going on and such clear, glassy articulation. Sounds like a mahogany less paul, glass tubes, and Baltic birch cabinets.
 
Hell ya . Dude deftones is my favorite band and I’m a shred guitarist. I think ATF is amazing tone . Black Gives Way too !I need to listen to APC again
Chino Moreno lives 2 minutes from me, across the street from friends of ours....he and his wife came over on the 4th of July for a drunken cornhole tournament, I missed that one as we had a gig that day ?
