Members guitarNed Posted February 10, 2005 Members Posted February 10, 2005 Here are some ideas, in no special order: * Get an acoustic amp. Your guitar won't sound right through an electric guitar amp. An acoustic amp will also have one or more notch filters for feedback. * There may be a parametric notch filter on your guitar's preamp panel. Turning it, slowly, may allow you to block the feedback. * Use a feedback eliminator. Peavey makes one, Behringer makes two nice ones, etc. These units are automatic. * Another option is to run in to a mixer from your guitar, and from there to a PA. Skip the Marshall. * Finally, try using an active MAGNETIC pickup in the sound hole, (such as one of the active Fishmans) and don't use the onboard guitar electronics or pickup.
Members Andrewrg Posted February 10, 2005 Members Posted February 10, 2005 Also ditch the effects! Any pedal introduces more gain into the circuit;more gain=more probability of feedback.
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted February 10, 2005 Members Posted February 10, 2005 Or, if you like that FX/amp set-up, turn the amp to the solo setting, then turn down until no feedback, then mic or DI your amp into the PA for the rest of the volume you need.
