Feedback!

[hobuk!]

So how do you do "feedback"?? :D

Well from the cd, its sounds like amp with some high frequnecy sounds.

Thanks,

Well, crank your amp , stand infront of it so that your pickups face the speakers , Have Fun !

This will produce random and uncontroled feedback, you should learn how to conrole it.

P.S.
====
You may like to wear some earplugs or something, these high loud noises are harmfull for your ear.

You can control feedback by the angle at which your guitar is facing the amp. From placing the guitar flat over the cab, to about 90 degrees off is where you'll get it. Different angle will change the characteristics of the feedback. Also on some guitars, a toggle switch which add some control. Volume switch will control fading in and out of the feedback. Just mess around with it to learn alittle control.

Don't forget to use the trem-bar if you got one (Floyd Rose recommended).

Also the pitch of the feedback will change if you changed the fret/string you're playing... best results happens when you're feedbacking a harmonic (Natural / Artificial) cuz feedback creats harmonics (standing waves).

hey everyone,
just turn your gain/distortion ALL the way up and blast your amp volume. this is the best way i have found to get some kick ass feedback. moving the guitar angle(as mentioned before)will give different sounds. just turning it all up is how to do it.

canuck, I would be careful doing that. Turning your gain and volume all the way up to get feedback can damage your speaker/s. You may not notice it right away because it's mostly a long-term problem. You amp is only equiped to handle so much, 10 is the max for a guitar thats not very loud. Guitars with humbuckers usually max out on an amp at 8-9. Pick-ups are only meant to pick up the sound of the strings. Feedback is producted from the pickups picking up the sound of the amp, and lopping infinitely. Since the amp is louder than the strings, the volume to the amp is magnified that much. So if your amp is at its max or over it's max, and then you add feedback; your pushing your amp way beyond its limit.

Some people when they need there amp up to it's max (because of live shows or whatnot). They will usually turn the volume of the guitar down half way when then go for the feedback. You'll still get the feedback without the damaging effects.
