Yngwie Malmsteen - Good clarity
Eric Johnson - Amazing Clarity
John Petrucci - Does distortion the right way
Gus G. - Think Schenker's tone updated with modern gear
James Murphy - On his first solo album before he went to EMG
Michael Romeo - Made modeling sound amazing

VH - Fair Warning
Matthias Jabs - Love at First Sting
John Sykes - Whitesnake

IMHO, Steve Vai's tone is usually subpar. There are exceptions but, as Zappa once said, "like a ham sandwich". ...And don't get me wrong, I love Vai's playing, too. Just not his tone.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Schaffer, Chuck, Sauron from Decapitated, Blind Guardian, Kai Hansen and Helloween, and friedman/mustaine tone on Rust and CoE.

But overall has to be Alexi. he kicks major tone and skill.

(least favorite is Dimebag's on the 101 proof album. he sounds like he's killing his speakers on some tracks or else its just crappy recording.)

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Alexi Leiho
Jason Becker
I really the Dimmu Borgi's tone on Puritanical as well.

[Number Of The Priest]

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

1. Joe Satriani. They don't call him the Master Of Tone without good reasons. Such a wicked tone with a relatively simple setup.

2. Iron Maiden. I love Adrian's bridge pickup tone on "Somewhere In Time", and any of Dave's neck pickup tones, particularly in the later recordings... sooooo smooth and heavenly.

3. Tie between Suidakra, In Flames, and Arch Enemy. Thick modern refined European metal tone at its best.
