What makes a tone different from another guitarist tone?
Jimi Hendrix has like 10 guitar tones/voicings on every song they are all
different tones and voicings how do you make this tones and voicings?
Using eqs?
How to adjust the Eqs to sound like a trumpet?
"so if any source was put in the eq input the output would have a
trumpets curve and tone and waveform"
How to adjust the Eqs to sound like a Trombone?
"so if any source was put in the eq input the output would have a
trombones curve and tone and waveform"
How to adjust the Eqs to sound like a sax?
"so if any source was put in the eq input the output would have a
sax curve and tone and waveform"

the purpose of EQ
TONE and TIMBRE are NOT the same. You cannot make one instrument sound like another using EQ.
I did a google search on "define TIMBRE": "the quality of a musical note which distinguishes different types of musical instrument. For example, a note of the same pitch can be played on several different instruments: it has the same frequency, yet the human ear hears them as different."
Every instrument produces a different timbre. I don't just means different types of instruments. For example, Fender Strats sound different than Gibson Les Pauls (at least to the trained ear)-- yet they are both electric guitars (wrap your brain around that). Just the same as solid-state electronics sound different than tubes. It's all about HARMONIC content.
EQ adjusts TONE. An equalizer (EQ) is really a frequency-dependent amplifier. It amplifies or reduces the specific frequencies defined by the user. A 32-band graphic EQ in the studio serves the same basic function as the treble and bass knobs on your car stereo. This deals with FREQUENCY content.[/i]

They have like different textures
like leslie west from the band mountain has a voice
on his guitar its like a tone/voice
I wonder how to create a tone/voice
it has to do with eq/timbre
Steve Stills has that tone/voice also

guitar pedals
they are most likely using guitar effects pedals.

yea but im thinking about just using Volumes and Eqs
to create different tones/voicing
Because alot about tone is eq
but what is voicing made out of ? its like a timbre
but what pedal or unit creates Timbres?

voicing
voicing has to do with music theory, not timbre. if a guitar track is doubled in a different voicing, it just means the chords are played differently. You can't adjust voicing after it's been recorded as audio.

i ment like the guitar have a Voice like a Tone/Voice/Timbre
If i hook my guitar up to a Timbre unit i can generate some more
timbres with the guitar and it creates a voice
Do you know what can create Timbres?
what Create Textures? what rack mount gear creates Timbres and textures

Synthesis
You need to look at "synthesis" Timbre is created by a different oscillating object, one which oscillates with differing patterns to another one. Then the harmonic series of each vibrating object will have different amounts of energy at different frequencies relative to the fundamental frequency.
That is Timbre...
So, in order to know how to create timbre artificially, you need to go and search for audio electronic circuits.
The easiest method would be to look at electronic circuits for Subtractive Synthesis.
Again, my friend, you are posting stuff in the wrong place.
What guitar pedal or effect or rack gear does this timbre stuff
Aural Exciter- for harmonics
Frequency Analzer- Electro harmonics
Ring Modulator - do you mean ? AC
sorry if i post wrong where should it go AC

NO, something which creates a tone, is a synth, a tone generator.
Pedals for guitars process sounds, they don't create it.
However, timbre and tone can be used in the same breathe though, "nice timbre on that synth", "cool timbre on that drum" ... etc. If you process a sound (WITH ANYTHING) you will alter the timbre, cause you will change the energy of the harmonic series in some way.
