The average listener could care less about tone, in fact I'm sure it's the vast majority of listeners. They care about the notes coming out of the guitar, not the tone. This is my experience. Maybe they can recognize bad tone, but still, it is all subjective.

Some people love Buddy Guy's guitar tone, some people hate it.....

Chasing tone? Nope, there is just too much great stuff being built and I'd like to try as much of them as I can. I have been lucky enough to own some great sounding amps and guitars over the last 4 years. GAS is good.
Keep the herd down to three of each and things are played. Buy one, Sell one. I take all them out and my gear head bandmates play them too. I played on a flatbed on Halloween through my old Peavey Stereo Chorus 2x12 and it sounded great. I would have loved to had have my Tone King onboard, but the generator's voltage output was fluctuating. The PV killed, don't matter SS or NOS. Just make some noise and smile

I don't care if its Coltrane or Ween - if I don't like the tone of something it turns me off and I turn IT off.
