Use What You Have Readily Available

I've been suffering from Firebird GAS. I mean a severe case. Daily thoughts since maybe last November.
And then I thought, what for?

I have such a huge palette as it is, what more do I need, tonality wise?
I need to take my own advice and turn some knobs. On the guitar, amp, HALO...whatever.

As it stands I can almost approximate that signature Firebird sound.
It's delay or chorus, bridge and middle pickup. After that, it's Mr. Winter and his phrasing. If I mimic that, I sound like him, even if the tone is not spot on.

Don't get me wrong, I want one...I hunger for one.
But I know I have the means to make that sound already.

We chase tone when in fact it is the right hand that allows us to sound like (insert name here).
