Why don't you go to the lesson about this? If you go to lessons list, under subheading of, I think, "Tone" is a lesson called "Basic Tone: Guitar, Amp and how you play".

Then under the 3 specialty genre lessons: Rock, Blues and Country" is a lesson for that genre on tone.

Lastly, it isn't here in Guitar Tricks, but Joe Bonamassa has a YouTube video on getting tone. The gist of this video, which I think would be helpful for all of us, is that most of us start worrying about pedals and chasing tone before exploring how much we can tone variation we can get from our guitar controls/knob first! I know I am guilty of this. You will need to search for it but well worth the hunt.
