For the later stuff with the really spongey fuzz sound it was the Shin Ei fuzz - sometimes with the RAT as well.

A real favourite of mine is the solo on This Is A Low
as for coxon's rep, my abiding feeling is that had he not been in blur he may have done something genuinely interesting. his work with blur only interests me after all the stupidity of britpop. beetle bum is cool. he's trying to do something different around that time. but i think damon's totp-or-bust mentality sort of stunted his progress. it's clever but is it art, etc.
on the other hand, butler fully deserves his rep. i think he maybe squared things with brett in a way that coxon didn't square things with damon, so that he owned the musical side. it was clearly demarcated and all his territory.
my impression (from what i've read) is that coxon got pissed off with blur (well damon, let's be specific) because the band dynamic became him being allowed to do what he wanted... as long as it was ok with damon. which is no one's idea of creative freedom really.
when bernard left suede it was a huge shame. when coxon left blur it was kinda so what?
Marr remains an absolute legend. I'm scurrying off to get my QID vinyl my wife just got me
It's like art - you don't need to be an excellent draughtsman to scrawl like a baby, but if you are then the result somehow has more depth to it.
I particularly like Coxon's playing on No Distance Left To Run. Quite simple, perhaps, but he's the one who came up with it.
