I'd be willing to guess that, like me, you've played not only the modest rigs but have trailed a few higher end rigs too and even when you dial in something pretty amazing, you still find yourself going 'hmmm...close but there's just something a little more I need to tweak.' Being a tone monkey is to understand that you will live a life of knob twiddling.

Tone is like crack for guitarists: You chase that thing that you will never actually get; the ultimate.
