@Toby, this is just a general answer but should give you good idea of Skynyrds tone.
Gary Rossongton gets his unique sound using a Gibson Les Paul
and Peavey amp. Also clean settings.
Allen Collins used a Gibson Firebird and Marshall combo in the beginning
the switch to Peavey later on. Also clean settings.
Ed King used both Strats and LPs also clean settings.
Steve Gaines mostly LP but also used Strats. Peavey and Fender Reverb amps.
Clean settings
So I think a lot of the tone comesfrom clean setting on Peavey amps and a whole
lot of talent.
