This is a sort of poll/opinion/info gathering post:
It's a given that the Jaguar has a lot of high end in the bridge pickup and that the neck pickup is pretty mellow & jazzy with the combination of the two (Janis!!!!!) is unique in it's sound.
Question - what overdrive/fuzz would work best for the bridge and combo position. I find the neck pretty forgiving of my Hardwire Overdrive so far. I would love a Mad Professor Golden Cello but anyway:
What fuzz works best for you guys and gals out there in short scale land?
I shall check this out immediately Stewart. Is that a Coronado I see in your avatar? I had a Coronado I that I traded towards my first Jaguar. I wish I'd kept both
Do you run the two fuzzes independently? I had a Big Muff way back in the 70s. It was pretty awesome - don't know much about the Rats? Has anyone used germanium based fuzzes with the Jaguar, like the Analogman Sunface or the Fulltone 69?

Low gain RAT (Gain: 9-11 o'clock, Filter: 1-3 'clock) into a medium/high gain Big Muff with the tone rolled back. The mid hump from the RAT pushing the mid-scooped Muff sounds great.

Yes, I'm getting lots of mileage out of the Magnetic Effects White Atom. It's a proper clever buffered Germanium fuzz. It's also surprisingly versatile in that it can do all the vintage sounds you'd expect along with more modern raspy and gated sounds.
