His tone just "fits" for Yes music. Sorry to digress into the guitar end of things, but I always thought the same about Steve Howe's tone in Yes. Not what I would expect to hear for lead guitar tone in progressive rock but wow, it just works perfectly.
Great point too about having different signature tones - "Tales" comes to mind. Also his present day tone still has that "drive" but is a bit meatier, IMO.
