Does anyone know of some trick to attain some sort of feedback when recording guitars direct? I run my guitar into a Sansamp PSA-1 through a TAPCO 6306 mixer into my soundcard.

Not of sound mind
You can get some good harmonic squeals from the EBow Plus, but it's not quite the same as feedback. For feedback, you need a speaker.

Hey Decay- In my opinion, a key element to the sound of an electric guitar is the air and space between the guitar and speaker. That's mostly where feedback comes from too.
If you are going direct - try getting the guitars' pick ups close to your monitors to see if you can get any interaction going. You'll need some gain in the signal too, like a boost pedal, overdrive, etc. Hollowbody guitars are even better for inducing feedback.
Good luck! -Rez

Run the PSA-1 signal from one of your mixers aux sends to a small guitar amp. A little practice amp with a 6'' speaker will work just fine.

I have a cheesy cheap yamaha keyboard PS-303E or something like that, and it has a feedback setting that to me, sounds pretty dang just like really nice guitar feedback. Maybe there's a midi or computer-version you can do that is like that keyboard effect. I've been wanting to throw it in a song somewhere.
Otherwise, I'd do what you need to do direct, and then if you do have an amp, just wait til the house is empty and do the feedback on another track with a real amp separately and blend it in in the mix.

i think the ebow will do what youre looking for. I have trouble controlling that feedback as it is.

I just thought of something. You could do that "trick" where you fret a note (preferrably on the g string) around frets 7-9 and then while holding that note, gently place a finger over the steel fret exactly 12 frets up. It should generate a harmonic, that, if you have enough gain going on, may be able to pass as feedback. This would be another one of those blend it in on another track dealios.

There are 2 ways to do it:
#1. You can discombobulate the frajistat by spliting it and running parallel into the thingamajig. Then pad the signal with a whatchamacallit being careful not to overdrive the doohickey. Connect a kanootzen valve in series to a humdinger and a Behringer Feedbackalizer "Pro" midi contolled in real time by a stompillator and then straight into the soundcard.
#2. Use a guitar amp

i love negative rep
1. turn up monitors.
2. get close to monitors.

If you want some really good feedback effects, playing through a good amp and miking it is going to be the best way to go. I have never been able to get a good tonal quality to guitar feedback through anything but a guitar amp/speaker.
