I agree that effects can be and are sometimes overdone. Tone is the foundation the player starts with in the signal chain. IMHO, to a point, Delay and Chorus don't change the tone as much as they manipulate it. Kind of like Photoshop to an photo image.
This makes me think about a problem I've found, and experienced myself. The problem, starting with bad dry plugged in tone. This is can originate either from the P/U and/or guitar, amplification, player, sound man, or all of these. Trying to add effects to improve tone, or a lot of something, that is absent usually doesn't sound well. The missing or problem component has to be improved.
