Members jrayg Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 I know this is a stupid question, but I display my ignorance on a regular basis and in grand fashion. I've played mostly through transistor amps for most of my guitar playing life.I've had some nice ones, Marshall, Peavey and others. About 10 years or so ago I bought a 5150 head to play through my 412 cabinet. But just after I bought it the band I was in broke up. And I basically quit playing. Now I'm in another band the 5150 is gone but I just bought another tube amp. Another Peavey, this time an Ultra Plus. It is an awesome amp. But when I crank it up, I get a lot of feedback. So what can I do to keep the feedback to a minimum without cutting the gain too far back? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members paul6string Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 move further away from your amp, and don't face your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mustaine-who? Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 New tubes. If your amp has the original tubes...they could be low quality or just going bad. Make sure all your cables are good quality, and your effects are in proper order. An ISP Decimator will give you awesome noise surpression w/out tone suckage. Also, stock PuPs tend to feedback more than good quality like Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GCDEF Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 What kind of feedback? High pitched squeal, howl or harmonic feedback following the note you're playing? What type of guitar are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members abecon5 Posted March 30, 2008 Members Share Posted March 30, 2008 turn down, gain, treble and presence. and if it feedbacks even in NO guitar is plugged in, then its a preamo tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
