Hm, that's a hard question
May I ask what do you understand by tone ? For me that it's bending/vibrato/picking dynamics, basically everything that comes out of your fingers.
Sound for me is much treble/bass/mids etc.
Talking about picking dynamics, definitely Paul Gilbert. Bending and vibrato, hm there are so much good ones, but my favourites are John Petrucci, Marcus Lavendell, Michael Romeo, Dimebag Darrell and some more.
