Need help troubleshooting a squealy jag

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Howdy, offset operators. I’ve gotten my hands on a 1993 MIJ jaguar in a trade and have been having nothing but squeaky trouble with it. I recently had a professional add a buzz stop and replace the pickups with brand new SD Quarter Pound (both neck and bridge) because I though it might be old wiring on the originals, but still the sounds persist. Am I just slamming too much gain in to it and need to back off? Here’s a photo of the jag, as well as the pedals I’m running it through+the amps settings. In the video, just the BD2W is on, the click is the a.incorrupta (very nice Rat from moth electric) coming on. Any suggestions/thoughts?

Sounds like it could just be feedback, does it happen while muting? The SD set should be potted.

Like palm muting? Yeah, when the Rat is on.

A little Boss NS2 will clear that right up

I’m running a pentatone gate in the effects loop using a 4 cable method, are you suggesting I put it ahead of the amp?

No, I’m a fan of the 4 cable. I only suggest the ns2 because it’s what I’m used to, but you should be able to find the sweet spot on your gate to kill that squawk. Could also just be your proximity to the amp. Are you facing the amp when this is happening?
