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.

For a lighter bluesy sound, it's gotta go to Kenny Wayne Shepherd on "Trouble Is...".
For heavier distortion, I'm really into Behemoth and In Flames as of late.
Chuck Schundiner's chorusy leads stand out to me for some reason (and alas, an 8200 is on the way
).

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!

I am loving Necrophagist's tone right now, but for 7 string mayhem, all Nevermore slays.
I thought Billy Corgan's tone on "The Everlasting Gaze"was amazing. I also thought the rhythm tone on Machine Head's "Ten Ton Hammer" ruled.
I completely share Shawn's love of the self-titled "Handsome" album... it is absolutely brilliant and has some of the heaviest tones I have heard still to this day... speaking of which Tom Capone's lead tone is consistently amazing with Quicksand as well.
But my rhythm tone idol is still Page Hamilton. His tone is huge

The Vision Bleaks tone is fucking kickass.
I commend you for being aware of them!

For me its a tossup between Jeff Loomis' tone on "Nevermore - The River Dragon Has Come"
Or Dino Cazares' tone on "Divine Heresy - Soul Decoded (Now and Forever)"

Most people are going to disagree with me, but I love this tone:

I generally like tight, clear, powerful tone. No scoopy muddiness for me.
Neuraxis - The thin line (and this is only basing it off of one song)
Necrophagist - Epitaph
And, oddly enough, Nuno Bettencourt's tone on "waiting for the punchline". I don't even like Extreme, but the tone he got with his Washburns -> boosted vibroverb is awesome!

The perfect metal tone, to me? Unearth - The Oncoming Storm. Every tone on that album speaks volumes to me in its raging voices. These motherfuckers came to London in Feb. '07 and changed my life. At some point during the show everything cut out and it sounded like the bass just slid down the low B from like an F#... coulda been up from the next B, or could have been anywhere for that matter, cause I don't know anything... but that shit rattled all that was left of my soul. Then Kerry King absorbed the remains shortly thereafter.
Also, as simple as it is, the first riff I ever learned on a seven string was the closing breakdown from This Lying World.

The rhythm tone on the first Disincarnate album. Best Murphy tone ever IMO.

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!

The intro guitar on GN'R's Black Leather, probably Slash > Les Paul > Marshall.

BLOODBATH ! entombed , dismember ... that boss HM-2 plus marshall sounds so evil \m/
the cannibal corpse sound
and this guy sounds nice too ... eq'ed metalzone sounds real fine . tight , i think as a clean boost (like cannibal corpse) in front of a fat-sounding amp it just rocks
YouTube - Random metal riffs on BC Rich Bich Baritone and Metal Zone.

Two of my all-time favourites are Gary Moore on Still Got The Blues (the song in particular), and Kee Marcello on Europe's Superstitious.
