I have gone through more guitars than I can count over the years, and while the number of amps isn’t nearly as ridiculous I have been through a bunch of them too. What has never ever changed is my tone goal.
Other than the occasional Strat type guitar and Deluxe Reverb type amp, my main and unwavering tone goal is a saturated 80’s hard rock/metal tone. Marshalls, Bogners, Mesas, Kemper, etc. have all come and gone but I always turn the knobs till I hear a facsimile of the tone in my head, no matter the amp I try to make them all sound like my idealized version of a Marshall, not necessarily what they deliver best. I have had some good/great guitars and amps over the years that I was hugely satisfied with but they never stuck. I may have more problems than just tone….
I am almost 59 and still want the same exact tone I wanted way back I was 19. I can live with a one trick pony setup forever if it does that trick perfectly. Not sure if that makes closed minded and/or non adventurous, or true to my vision?
Has your tone goals and sound stayed the same over the years, or have you shifted gears completely?
