Hmm...okay, here's a more realistic analogy. The intro to "Wish you Were Here" done simply on acoustic guitar. You can't seriously tell me that, all things being equal, you could tell Dave Gilmour was playing it instead of someone else? Even with his magic hands.
I will also add that people like Beck, and especially Gilmour, use effects very precisely. They don't just add it to their sound, they make it their sound.
Jeff Beck? Now that's one guy I will fully admit gets the mojority of his sound in his special playing style. But...you could still get your guitar to sound like his. Effects-wise anyway.
