No contest, though Dogman is a pretty close 2nd.

Silverchair's debut was a JCM900, and a Soldano Hot Rod for most subsequent projects. This is first hand from Daniel - I engineered the band's fourth album and some of his later solo work.

Here's a pic of us circa 2014:

Who’s that person in the background surfin’ on RT while you and Daniel are hard at work behind the desk? To be a fly on that wall, “what the hell is wrong with this game guy?”
 
I always found his tone on that first album much too strident and thin. It's exactly what I hated about the JCM 900 Dual Reverbs.
 
Weird, I remember reading way back when that Silverchair used Ampeg amps.

Either way, Metallica had the best tone of the 90’s. Pantera and Dream Theater got close though.

My 90's pick would either be just about anything by STP or Rich Ward's tone on Stuck Mojo's Rising album

DeLeo always has great tone. Also the Black Crowes dude Rich Robinson had great tone.

This is probably my favorite 90's blues tones. I dug the album cause it was all rocking blues, no blues-rocking. I'm pretty sure Mesa was pretty prominent on this record if I recall the liner notes correct.

Best tone of the 90s was from Metallica - Garage Inc. That tone on Sabbra Cadabra was life changing for me as a teenager

I bought the OG $5.98 EP on vinyl when it came out in '87. That rhythm tone hits so hard, and sounds so evil. It was crazy how different the tones and production on MOP, $5.98 EP, and AFJA all were, but it still sounded like Metallica should.

I wish they would've given Jason a mix on AFJA closer to how it was on the $5.98 EP where you could hear him. Then came the Black Album, and after that I never bought another Metallica album again.

These are comments that you see on TGP with dudes yelling at clouds about van halen or jimmy page lol. There are a TON of awesome bands today with real instruments. You're right that it isn't mainstream, but that isn't because people aren't making the music. Labels and marketing just don't push it.

People were terrified that Knocked Loose pig squealed on "live tv" when they performed on Jimmy Fallon. Hopefully that's a sign that rock and metal are coming back into popularity. Never thought I'd hear a pig squeal on tv lol.

I love every album up to the black album. I'm a huge metallica fan and have even found some spots on some of the newer albums that I've enjoyed, but that 90s Metallica tone just absolutely ripped my damn face off. Couldn't get enough of it at 12/13 trying to learn how to play guitar. Just life changing shit. Then I bought the live shit box set and couldnt figure out which album I loved more, AJFA, MOP, RTL. They all sounded so different but the song structures were like nothing I had ever heard before
