Back in the "old days" was tone such a big deal?? I mean, yeah people used effects,and certain amps,,but you usually hear people talk about their playing and not tone. ie..chuck berry, hendrix, clapton, guitar heroes of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Now we mention their tone,,but did people talk about it back then the way we do now??? I am into tone so don't get me wrong, it seems some people base a good player by their tone.
