People are always looking for "good tone". I understand using the word to describe a type of sound, like a jazz tone or whateverthefuck. Or like "how do I get a solid rock tone?" Yeah I get that, even though it still bugs me.
But when people say "OH MAN THAT GUITAR/AMP/PEDAL/FRET WIRE/OUTPUT JACK HAS TONE!!....
FUCK YOU.
Everything has some sort of tone you dipshit, weather it's fucking church bells or the sound of me dropping a television on your head from a 4th story balcony. WHY CAN'T YOU JUST SAY "WOW THAT SOUNDS GOOD"?!
Just so ya'll know, this is the result of me having to listen to a half-wit toolbag poser guitar player spew and babble fountains of crap all day. I intentionally refrain from calling him a musician.
I love all of you so much.
Can anybody actually tell me what "tone" is?

FUN FACT TO CHEER U UP: Keith Richards has a speedboat he bought in 1971 while living on the French Riviera and recording Exile on Main Street. He named the boat Mandrax, an anagram of its original name, saying: "It was irresistible to call it that.

"tone" is a way for old grumpy dudes with ED to justify spending all of their disposable income on boutique gear

Tone is a sound you like. Shitty tone is one you don't. All is subjective, all is personal, all is whateverness.

It's like a chain reaction. If I lose my tone, I can't fuck, can't make love, can't do nothin'. I'll just walk into the ocean and die, if I lose my tone.
