I would say fuck a clean sound, just roll the volume on the guitar back if you want cleans... Tube Screamer is a good shout or a Marshall Guv'nor type thing like a Charlie Brown... If you've got a decent tube amp you won't need a pedal tho'... Something small and Vox or Marshall flavoured will get you to Tone Town, population you... Keep it simple, just like Malc did... Rip out the neck pickup on the W(t)F while you're at it...

i guess something to add some mids and bottoms
My dabbling in pedals has shown what others have already said, which is that putting overdrive into an amp that's barely working doesn't sound quite right. There's a tone that you get from actually driving an amp. That said, I've got a TC Electronics Mojomojo, which does a pretty good job of adding a bit of drive and thickness to the tone.

fairynuff.
just looking for that sweet sweet Young bros sound as a jumping off point. i guess something to add some mids and bottoms given the rather chimey nature of a hollow body wouldn't go amiss as well. yeah i take your point on fuzz and i don't think it's what i'm after.
it's only going through a wee 20 watt praccy amp at the moment.
yes i get that this is a long and sorry road of trial and mostly error i'm about to set out on.
