The topic of "Tone" is always a fun one. One thing I've realized after chasing it myself is that Yes the tone is shaped massively by the gear. (Guitar type amp type pedals and settings of all of these etc). However something we don't think about sometimes is that if you set up a guitar and amp and took each of these musicians and let them play to a blindfolded audience without adjusting any of the gear at all people would quite easily be able to detect who's playing. (All playing an non descriptive piece of music so there's no identifying songs to match up with the players). Seriously a HUGE % of the tone and feel is in the hands of the masters! Eddie playing the same piece of music as Hendrix won't sound like him. And visa versa. Touch feel and technique almost trumps all the other stuff.
