Members philo426 Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have an Ibanez AEG 20 Acoustic/electric guitar that i run through an Acoustic G-20 amp.The guitar is fine in the rhythm channel but feeds back constantly on the lead channel.The phase switch does not help. Strangely I discovered when I plug in my headphones it does not feed back on the lead channel!So if I want to crank it with high gain crunch it will have to be through the headphones.Its ok.

Members DeepEnd Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Sounds like the "lead" channel might have more gain or possibly a different EQ curve. Does the feedback occur/not occur at the same volume on the respective channels? A notch filter would probably help but the G-20 doesn't have one nor an effects loop for adding one from what I can tell. BTW, I assume you want a fairly "electric" sound; an electric guitar amp isn't that great for reproducing an acoustic guitar well. A bass or keyboard amp works well though.

Members philo426 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yes!i figured that an acoustic amp would better for a natural sound but I dig jamming power chords with it!i just turn but the drive in my Arion overdrive on the 2nd channel and have good crunch with no feedback!

Members RocknPop Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Do you have a sound hole? If not I would recommend buying one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted March 7, 2012 Members Share Posted March 7, 2012 Do you have a sound hole? If not I would recommend buying one. I assume RocknPop means soundhole cover (i.e., feedback buster). Not a bad idea but it doesn't explain why one channel feeds back but the other doesn't. I have a rubber feedback buster made by Kaman that I don't need. Send me a PM and I'll send it to you.
