It can reduce the treble in a sound - not drastically, but it can knock the sparkle off it (if that makes any sense at all! ). It depends how heavily it's applied, of course, and indeed on exactly which limiter/compressor is used (some have more distinctive sounds than others). So, some of the 'softness' to those clean sounds would be down to the compression, and some would be down to use of EQ (possibly even just the guitar's tone control). The guitar plays some part in it too - compared to the Telecaster, the SG has a heavier, thicker, darker sound (thanks to its all-mahogany construction and the P90 pickup...the type of neck joint used quite likely also plays a part, though that's something which builders argue fiercely over! ).
He played a number of clean sounds with the L6-S as well - I believe he used that (possibly exclusively) on Platinum.
