A Simple Secret to Fat Guitar Tones
I knew about using the right pick, however the volume pedal trick is new to me. There does appear to be a sonic difference between using the guitar's volume knob and a volume pedal. I seem to recall Mark Knopfler always had good tone, and he used a volume pedal.
This post is for tone chasers only...

Another Simple Secret to Fat Guitar Tones
Heavier strings - especially if you've got a hollowbody - and an amp with loads of clean headroom...

I've tried but I found it too difficult to manage at least in a live setting anyway. Maybe a better quality pedal would help IDK, it was an Earnie Ball. Now I have it in my acoustic rig simply to use as an on off switch.

Set a delay pedal so short you can't hear a delay but the guitar sounds fatter. It's an old recording trick.

I find an OD pedal in front of the amp can help too. Keep the pedal's drive low and volume high.
