Increase tone in what way?

New pickups I guess? But if your guitar is already a good one with good pickups and the sound still doesn't do it for you, youe need to revise your settings first and if nothing fixes it you should change amp.
Also a "booster" on your guitar might help, Like the one here (if you make any sense out of it):

I wasn't happy with my guitar tone either when I started out. Changed the pickups but it didn't do much. Changed the electronics but it didn't help. I bought some pedals and it didn't do the trick either. Because it was the amp that sucked.

In my opinion. Too many people get to hung up on the "change this, change that, buy the other thing" to help their "tone" when, really, all they need is to practice. Good guitars, Good amps, all contribute to good tone but a HUGE percentage of it is the player (touch, technique, knowledge, habits).

ok thanks for the tip

Little things like good quality cables, new strings etc all play a part. I even found that pics sound different. If the basics: guitar and amp and cable are good, they just might not be a match for you, your style or touch. Tone is subjective. I recently played my friend's Matchless which was given to him by Bruce Springsteen. The amp is and sounds amazing with with my friend playing through it. I played through it and thought it sounded horrible...it didn't sound like me to me. Not the right amp for my style.

One word: Tubescreamer.
