Would you use a metronome that's louder than field drums? Forget about the electric guitar. The loudest instrument is now the amplified metronome. http://www.artsjournal.com/pianomorphosis/2009/09/beat-it.html
Also, how many non-jazzers practice with the metronome ticking on the offbeats, as Schnabel did? Kal Opperman frequently claps on the offbeat during lessons, but I think he gets it from having played sax on many Broadway shows.

I find that it can be very beneficial to practice with the metronome beating on the off beats especially if you are practicing an exercise that has a significant amount of intervals that are located on the downbeats. With the metronome beating on the offbeats it is easier to hear the connection of the interval.

I always practice with the metronome doing the off-beats. Makes for good rhythm.

If I'm practicing jazz improv I nearly always set the metronome on the offbeat. Sometimes I borrow my husband's electronic "Dr. Beat" because I can set a loud-soft alternating click on both beats, with the louder one on the offbeat. I don't stick with a metronone forever, though -- once I think I'm feeling the beat on my own, I shut the click off.
