Pretty much everything cycosuicide said -- especially his first two posts.

Note also karbomusic: 'What you hear on a record is much less distorted than you think it is'. Quite normally true. The addition of other instruments changes the perception significantly!

This is not about tone in the fingers or playing technique, not by a long shot. This is all about those fizzy frequencies produced mainly in the high mids. It's largely the ratty preamp tubes over-distorting. Amp sims do the same, as they mimic closely the same behavior -- they model those tubes as well! Knobs and settings=YES. Fingers=NO.
