Depends on whose fingers you have.

Not true, could be bad tone or good tone or mediocre..... but in the hands

Curt proves this time and time again with clips of guys like Akira playing .00000005 watt heads with no effects with one arm behind his back!

It's in your fingers, seeing as how you use your fingers to dial in your amp.

That would probably have been the more appropriate smiley.

True, it is way more fingers then anything else having said that the fetish of good sounding instruments and circuits is grand___ I am looking forward to hearing the Cameron in person ___ But YEAH It is shocking how fingers/ears is overlooked again and again and again

I purposely overlooked in search for the amp to make me sound like what I wanted to hear. I finally figured out my focus on technique of vibrato, letting notes breath, chordal shifts and resolving to not resolve and meaning to really changes the overall tone of any player. Vibrato alone on a bend can sound great for a guy on a pignose and another guy on a $5000 amp sounds like shit. But what is really funny is the guy with great vibrato on the expensive amp still stays about the same, sure some subtle differences, but not $5000 worth.

I like to buy gear and have been through my share over the last 3 years now. I still gas for a few things. But I find myself not letting that take away from what my fingers can learn to do and get better at. Legato for me was a weak spot, alternate picking I am very good at. After a year of practicing legato and somewhat being better on the same amp it sounds better and different. So the fingers and technique improvement was there, the afterfact was tone.

I love gear, the manuals, the switches, the tubes and lights, etc, etc, .... But even more so I love to listen to a guy like Pete Thorn who has the tone/technique in his hands and can take anything and make it into a gem. Make it into listenable music that moves people in different ways. Chubtones CD has done that for me, Justin Derrico's CD has done that for m and Mentoneman has put out some stuff I am and will always be in awe of. There are others as well, (Mark Day) my fav, never heard every rose has its thorn with so much gain.....

This has been a fun thread so far, not as fun as the axe fx verses ax fx II analogy with cool dolls, but eh, still fun!!!

Peace and Love.....

You have mistaken Miss Kitty for tone I am afraid? We can keep searching, because you may have a point, but I am not sure I want to put that type of practice in with steel strings....
