In his lockdown videos he played different things through a practice amp and it's still distinctly Brian May (although watching him on screen obviously adds to that). I suspect he may have removed them by now. Here’s Brian on a strat:

A player's ears will dictate how to dial their gear, and different gear of the same family (e.g. high gain amps) will help achieve that easier.
Then, ears will dictate dynamics, vibrato, phrasing, articulation, even technique bc you can't play it unless you can "hear" it and you can't phrase it unless you can "sing" it in your head.
so, tone is in the ears.
I'd agree that tone is available through the fingers
Playing an Epiphone SG into a shitty practice amp with no sixpence, and still sounding like Brian fucking May.
