Those are not guitar tones, those are guitar PLAYERS, and they are not interchangeable as a result of any electronic manipulation on an AE's part. If you have Pete Townsend in your studio and if you stick a 57 on his amp and run it through any decent class A pre, I predict it will sound just like the Who.
When asked why she didn't write more hit songs, Cyndi Lauper once said, "I can't give you what you want. I can only give you what there is."
I once saw Eric Clapton sit in with Little Feat. He took Fred Tackett's guitar from him and without even going back to the amp launched into a solo that sounded like it was from an early Cream album. Whoever said fat strings and a strong touch nailed it. And don't forget the stiff pick.
