Excuse my obvious newbie question concerning feedback. But I'm trying to get an understanding how it works and how to prevent it.
I'm trying out a California Blonde II with my Martin HD-28V. There's been a few times that as I'm setting the gain and volume, not playing the guitar, howling feedback just starts on its own. The first time I think was because all the tone controls on the K&K preamp were set full, but even after I turned them down, at high enough volumes the guitar will start to feedback on it's own without me even playing anything. Even if I mute the strings with my hand, the feedback will continue.
Is this my guitars natural feedback frequency causing me trouble? Is this normal?
With my electric Strat, I can get feedback when I play loud, but I can control it easily with location and can stop it instantly by muting the strings with my hand.
