Coolest sound it is possible to out of a guitar?
Patrick:
I really love what happens when you play a 12th-fret harmonic and divebomb the fuck out of your whammy bar (see: "Little Wing").
Second place goes to Clapton's use of a Leslie rotating cabinet in his work with Blind Faith. Not to say that Hendrix didn't use his well in "Little Wing", but when Clapton has his ES-335 sounding like a goddamn Billy Preston organ track, there is nothing you can do or say to take my attention away. Except maybe drown the sound out/hit the stop button, at which point I will slice you.

The last minute or two of "When I Go Deaf" by Low. It is this beautiful wall of fuzz and delay and awesome.

Sonic Youth's already been mentioned, but I'd say any of the SYR stuff wins this by a country mile. Holy shit that stuff is intense. Also, what the heck kind of distortion/effect makes that yo-yo-yo sound at the beginning of The Diamond Sea?
imapiratearg:
That's crazy. It's like a phaser and a tremolo mixed into one. An envelope filter maybe?
Or some kind of flanger/wah combination?

This and Godflesh are two of my favorite tones.
Drive Like Jehu made some great noises (end of "Luau" = ahhhhhhhhhhhh).
Oh, and Big Black fo sho.
