I see Satch and Vai here a lot.
While I'm not a fan of their tone, these 2 guitarists have a different tone every album. So you need to qualify which album(s) you don't like. Otherwise, I would say you're a hater.
Satch's best tone is probably "black swans and wormhole wizards". Either that or "is there love in space"
As for Vai, his tone in "alien love secrets" is probably the only one which I like. He sounds a lot better live though.
EVH's tone I don't like, and his tone pretty much doesn't change... him and Eric Johnson. I do like EJ's clean tone.
