Simulating Guitar Feedback

[Ed Driscoll]

Hi all,

I typically record electric guitar into Sonar 3.1 with either Line6's GuitarPort USB product, or via Roger Linn's AdrenaLinn box.

Is there a way to simulate a guitar feeding back? For example is there some plug-in effect that can be mixed after the guitar has been recorded that would give a passable recreation of feedback?

Short of mic'ing up a Marshall stack and blasting away, I'm wondering if anybody has tried to simulate feedback when recording, and if they could tell me how they've gone about it.

Thanks,

Ed

You can buy an eBow. I love those things. It's an electric pick if you don't haven't heard of it before...

Maybe you could take a high pitched sine wave into a vocoder and use it as the modulator to affect your existing guitar note or slide or whatever it is that needs feedback.

Do a couple of versions with increasing pitches in the sine wave and then cross-fade the results together and run it back in and under the existing guitar line.

Have I done this? Do I know if it will work?

Hell no!

Just thinkin' out loud and looking for excuses to get the post count into four figures....

Well, it's about time, isn't it?

you don't have to mic up a Marshall. just puck a high gain preset on the line 6 and turn the monitors up and put the guitar next to one of them. I get feedback in the control room all the time. I do mic a cabinet but the cab is at the other end of the building in an isolation room.

Well, you're not the only one, Ed... I've been thinking the same thing since I bought ReValver couple years ago... I've gone thru many different setup, even if I got a feedback, it's not the same feedback we got by miking JCM900 with 3 o'clock gain. I was lucky if I got noisy "hoooooonngggg.... huuuummmmzzzzz"... for few second...

you have to turn up the midrange (a lot) to make this work. and turn off the computer monitor.
