Members hondro Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 besides a loud amp and a guitar in close proximity I dont have my electrics with me right now so I can't really experiment but I wanna go for something like this [YOUTUBE]-0sH3e_qr7c[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hard Truth Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 practice varying the guitar and amp volume, angle of guitar, distance of guitar, eq settings, gain (distortion) etc. try different guitars. There's a lot of variables, so if you want repeatability be consistent with your gear and settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hondro Posted September 12, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 and more importantly how do you replicate this live. I can do it at home when im sitting right next to my amp, but i wanna do it live without looking like a jackass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaveAronow Posted September 12, 2008 Members Share Posted September 12, 2008 adding compression always helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EllenGtrGrl Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Also, avoid using microphonic pickups if you can. Microphonics can overpower feedback you're trying to control, in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members n0fx Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Use an EBOW...feedback at ANY level hi or low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cokeman Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 I can do it with my Aiken amp really easy. I don't know why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sixstringmuse Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 heres a good one, delay pedal (dd6 seems to be the standard but my pod works fine), max the level and feedback, then mess with the time to make some more fun noises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mad Hatter Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 I can get feedback with my amp low it just requires a lot of distortion And I don't know how to control it really other than by moving the guitar closer or farther from the amp. Or a wah-wah pedal can sort of control it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amaleelake Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Rest the headstock of your guitar on the top of your amp. It creates more of a humming feedback than a screeching feedback, but that is my best suggestion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do it at home when im sitting right next to my amp, but i wanna do it live without looking like a jackass Some gain/saturation, a bit of volume, and a great fretting hand.

Members strtdv Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 Compression. And if its when you're playing live then you may have your amp turned up loud enough that you can get it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackCat Posted September 13, 2008 Members Share Posted September 13, 2008 As a full hollow player I don't have any problem getting controllable feedback at even moderate volumes. If you're talking about getting it at living room volumes I haven't figured that out yet. I'm guessing though that its still a matter of gain and proximity to the amp. (More of both). I actually need to figure it out soon. I've been working with a guy at his home studio and he usually puts us directly through the board to avoid neighbor complaints. I need to figure out if I can get controlled feedback at a volume that wont piss off his neighbors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
