I am an out of practice audio engineer and to me tone has always been at the clinical end of the spectrum. It's the physical. Tone can be manipulated easily.

Soul is what really drives the music. Once you start manipulating soul, you may as well chuck the reel into the dumpster.

If Clapton, or BB, or Buddy Guy or Jerry Garcia or Jeff Beck picked up your guitar, you'd be amazed at how your guitar/amp combo "tone" sounded amazingly like theirs. All of them have played mine, and it did. Then when I went back to my rig expecting the same magic to continue when I played, it was sadly gone and my crappy "tone" returned. Buddy even made my solid-state Ovation keyboard amp sound like a Bassman. Don't ask me how these guys do it, but if you think you can buy tone, I got a nice fixer-upper bridge in Minneapolis I'd like to sell you.
