Yes, and a lot of guitarists will not only want those tones there, but will actually use them and control them during the song. For an example, listen to "Say it ain't so" by Weezer (from the Blue Album). Right as it's transitioning from the clean and quiet verses to the heavily distorted choruses, you'll hear this increasing sqeal sound right up until they hit the chord. That's harmonic feedback between the guitar and amp that increases as they turn up the volume control on their guitars. The song wouldn't sound anywhere near as raw and powerful without it.ecktronic said:I heard that sitting next to the amp while playing guitar gives nice overtones and feedback that you dont get unless the guitar is next toe the amp. Has anyone ever noticed a difference when recording heavy distorted guitars?
