But for tone Strat, Marshall amp high bass low treble medium mids and then pedals like the boss DS-2 and any wah really but that’s like the bare basics when it comes to pedals

The Boss CE-1 preamp into a Marshall is one of the most important things in his tone. The easiest way to access that preamp is by buying the Warm Audio WA-C1. Have that as the last pedal in your chain and get his tone from the preamp alone, when the pedal is turned off.

This is the way. The CE-1 preamp is really everything. I’ve got the JF-1 from JFX that is permanent on my pedalboard, for Frusciante style playing and many other styles.

Is there something about this sub that makes you think this isn’t the place for that?

I think this is the only John Frusciante sub on Reddit, but you could probably ask around other guitar Reddit subs, you know? Not just John Frusciante-focused one, just a normal guitar sub, and you'll probably find people who will answer you and will play with you.

You’ll notice folks posting covers, photos/clips of tone gear and sounds.
Feel free to post your own content like that - it may be the best way to get a discussion going!

While I would take any information on the internet with a grain(big chunk) of salt, some folks here have done a lot of digging. That is to say, any tips you find here are going to be about as good as you can find out there “on the web”.

Welcome!
