I am not too sure of young innovators but one young guitarist that I listen to is Joe Bonamassa.
Love his tone
+1 But if you see the mans rigs, you would understand.
He uses an amp dedicated to each of the frequencies Bass, Middle and Treble.
Yip 3 amps all at once.
Rumor has it he never turns the volume on his LP above 8. He rekons it sounds better ?
And was playing Voodoo Child when he was 6-years-old.
So I have heard, don't know if any one can shed more on it

"Amps are mainly Budda and Marshall. This is in the studio. On the road I use a more complex setup because I need to do songs from 5 or 6 different albums. I add a clean amp and a second Marshall, stereo effects, you know. I use a Silver Jubilee Marshall, a 100 watt Super Lead, two Budda Superdrives, and a Dumble. I use a Boss DD-3 for delay (with dials set at twelve o'clock); it's my favorite. I use a Carl Martin Hot Drive'n Boost, a Vox Wah, and a Korg G4 Leslie Pedal. I own 156 guitars. I have about 15 Strats, probably 10 or 11 Teles, and 10 Les Pauls. I have one McCarty model Paul Reed Smith. I use Dean Markley, 11 to 52, nickel wound strings. I love them; they're the best ever"
