I have two..and an odd mix it is. For leads it's Prince's guitar tone, check out songs like Pink Cashmere, Peach and most notably Purple Rain. For rhythm and all around metal chunkery, Fallon Bowman mainly on songs like Choke, Johnny, and Brackish.

I don't think i've ever heard a massive ROAR anything like John Sykes' tones on the Whitesnake (1987) album. Those guitar sounds still get me off.
This is tricky because it's hard to differentiate between tone you like and bands you like. I find the best tones turn up on albums that aren't particularly my favourite. Anyway:
The Vision Bleak's 1st & 2nd albums sound great (5150's?)
"Blackwater Park" sounds awesome.
Can't argue with Carcass's "Heartwork" either.
Rammstein always have a great tone too.
Sepultura's "Roots".
The nu-metaller in me likes Vision of Disorder's "From Bliss to Devatation" too.
The best tones are the always the ones which fit the material being played just right.
rhythm - petrucci's tone on "in the presence of enemies", trivium's on crusade, opeth blackwater park era, bloodbath, necrophagist and ihsahns solo stuff
lead - petrucci NO DOUBT, and necrophagist's for the pure clarity!
Neuraxis - The thin line (and this is only basing it off of one song)
Really?! I always wondered what Pat used. He had that weird rack setup and I swear it mainly consisted of a rackmounted mark III w. no actual head cab. I'd love to hear them now!Augury's tone yesterday night was :O:O:O Both were playing 2 channel dual rectos too
