Santana in Corssraods 2004 w/ Clapton playing Jingo

And John Frusciante in the solo for the song Look on.

EDIT: You can't not love both of those tones.

@ Trepidation: Bucketheads clean tone in Population Override is in my opinion one of the best sounding gifts to my ears.

now judging by most people's responses, i'd gather that people think the perfect soloing tone is really thick, warm, and rich.

so, out of curiosity, where does that put all the rockabily dudes like chuck?

i go with rezz on this. i also think it really depends on the style ur playing. i mean honestly.....if you played Rockabilly with...lets say.....Brian May's tone....you'd have to be REALLY clever with the phrasing to make it fit. on the opposite spectrum, with Chuck Berry's super thin trebley tone, it would be pretty hard to pull off a lot of classic rock stuff...Pink Floyd for example.
