Robbie Robertson form the band has soem sweet tone. Also, the session player Bruce Langhorne, who played with Dylan, had some beautiful tone. I tend to notice the tone of session guys more, becuase it is often having to be in the background, and supporting others in the band, and the tone always has a certain quality to it: simple, yet beautiful. Much as I love Hendrix's playing, I go from loving his tone to not thinking it's that great. I'm never sure what I'm going to settle on, and I'm a huge Hendrix fan. George Harrison's tone was great, and unique. Edge's tone an be good, but it's pretty hard to pin down, it changes form album to album, song to song.
