Apr 17, 2009 11:35 am There isnt much of a science to feedback as ive heard. ofcourse wats going in killswitch could easily be some studio magic as they could have recorded the feedbacks and spliced them against the acoustic guitars to make them fade in and out like that.
i guess u just have to remember that feedback is caused by a frequency looping and amplifying itself in ur system so if u want a certain note to feedback or certain tone, just keep make sure thats wats ringing on ur guitar when the feedback kicks in.

Apr 17, 2009 11:44 am As far as feedback in the studio. Simply mic your amp, crank it and record nothing but feedback for an hour. Try all sorts of things, get some swells in there etc.. Cut and paste to taste. My friends band recorded in a nice studio in NY and he said the feedback session was extremely mind numbing but sounded great in the end.
Also, I met the KSE singer last year. He came to Alaska on a little vacation when 36CF came up to play. We BBQ'd it up and chatted for quite some time, extremely nice guy. He also sang a tune with them on stage which was a nice suprise for the audience.

Apr 17, 2009 12:11 pm The 2 main ingredients to making an electric guitar and amp feed back is 1) volume and 2) gain/distortion. You'll need the amp to be loud enough so that the guitar's pickups pick up the amp's output. Then add distortion until the feedback is easier to obtain.
Changing the character of the feedback is easy as well. Standing in different places relative to your amp, standing in different orientations relative to your amp, EQ (on your guitar, pedals, and amp), and type of distortion will all have an effect on the pitch and character of your feedback.
I use a Boss CS3 compression/sustainer and that thing is a feedback machine on a cranked amp. With some EQ sculpting and experimentation on where I stand, I can get a very wide variety of feedback effects.
Like it was said above, just dedicate a chunk of time to fooling around with feedback. After some experimenting, you'll learn what you can and can't do with your current setup.

Apr 17, 2009 02:24 pm There's not that much to generating feedback. Turn your amp up loud, stand close to it, and there ya go!

Apr 17, 2009 04:02 pm Yup, turn it up, move the guitar (pickups) closer to your speakers.
I remember a local band where the bass player did a nothing but feedback solo using a distortion pedal while moving in and out (changing notes of course).

Apr 17, 2009 09:16 pm Yep, there is nothing more to feedback then has been described above.
The only difference will be the tone you get from a smaller amp will differ from the tone one gets from a large amp. As well a single 12 will sound different feeding back the a 4 x 12 cabinet will.
As described above, simply use EQ and your position in front of the amp to change it up.
The MXR compression/sustainer pedal as well is a good one.
Jul 22, 2009 03:57 pm Have you tried strumming out a loud distorted guitar chord, holding it until fade out. Then reversing it into a drop. very useful production technique.
