Of course, his Cream/Mayall era tone was infinitely better, one of the best ever, etc. But that tone he gets on the Cream reunion cd/dvd I think is kinda cool. It's different, but it sort of retains that thickness he used to have while playing Gibsons. Basically a strat's version of that tone. I don't find it amazing, but I definitely appreciate that tone. He was playing through a strat and his 100w Twins.

Also...Jimmy Page anyone?
Page can be/has always been a bit stuttery but can't agree that he falls into this category. I would say he has a unique tone but I wouldn't say it was great to my ears even in years gone by; a little harsh/trebely. But it's his sound.

I seen him at Wembley last year when he appeared with the foo fighters tho and his tone on ramble on was IMMENSE
