What guitar and what pickups are you using ?? -
The Windsor likes to be pushed and it's LOUD as shit! Don't be afraid to play with the knobs. I could get a great Jimmy Page tone out of it.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

If you have feedback problems using different amps, the problem will usually be your pick ups.Comment

well the only guitar i have used on it so far is my fender hh jaguar. dont really know what pickups are in it. i still need to use my wolfgang on it, which i havent been able to do because of valentines day. so imma check what pickups the jag has. yeah and i still need to mess a lot around with it to see if i should use a distortion pedal or not.Comment

well this is what it has
Alder body
Maple neck with rosewood fretboard
24" scale length
2 special-design Dragster humbuckers
Controls: Lead Circuit, 2-position tone switch, volume, tone, and on/off slide switches for each pickup
Vintage-style Adjusto-Matic bridge with anchored tailpiece
Vintage-style tunersComment

Yeah, I know you have the Jag, but i'm not familiar with the pickups...
What type of volume are we talking about here. I mean, feedback is an inherent part of any overdriven guitar rig...
I get tons of feedback with my setup, but I can control it, and I want it...
So, are we talking about controllable or uncontrollable feedback...
Hmmm...
Y'NO'WUM'SAYIN'?!?!!Comment

well hmmmm. i guess uncontrollable. the kind where you hit a chord n then a couple seconds after the feedback comes in. if i were to turn the pre amp all the way up and put the master volume lets say around 5 i get feed back. this is with presance all the way up and resonance almost all the way. i havent really got to mess with it really. i got it yesterday and today was valentines day so was busy all day. but tomorrow will hopefully go wellComment

If you mute the strings does it stop ??
Or, can you stand in front of the amp with the strings muted with no feedback ??Comment

Sounds like you're describing controllable feedback, as in, if you had a whammy bar, you would be able to bend the notes as they feedback...
This is definately the good kind...
What I do is use a 10 band eq to emphasize the feedback frequency I want...
You can also use the eq to identify the feedback frequency and minimalize what you don't want...
Some of the other guys may be better at describing their techniques for controlling feedback...Comment
-
Something also worth mentioning is people who use digital modeling amps such as a POD often complain about the lack of feedback...Comment

I was looking for some examples on YouTube...
Check this out...
Not a good example, just some cool gear...

i believe i can up to a certain volume, but if i push it beyond that i get feedback no matter what, and thats the kind i hate.Originally posted by ELVIS

But that point should be pretty darn loud...
When you read about Edward in the early days dipping his pickups in wax, it was an attempt to get rid of exactly that kind of feedback that occurs at high volume...Last edited by ELVIS; 02-15-2007, 04:44 AM.Comment

This is also where a high quality pickup comes into play...
Many pickups sound just fine for jamming in a bedroom at low volume...
A well designed pickup works well at high volume standing in front of an amp...Comment
