Segomil Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi How to get GUITAR feedback with the HD500X without put the volume HIGH !? ... just need feedback in a quiet ambience room ! Is this possible ? Oh i have to mention that i have not been able to have any feedback even with HIGH VOLUME ! .. because i do not know how :) HD500X :) JTV69 HSS -_- MONITOR ERIS 8 PRESONUS :) thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Segomil, I am emulating feedback with pitch harmonizer. I am setting it 1 octave above, and the mix to the pedal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't know what difference the JTV may make because I do not own one. But true feedback requires a loop. Volume is a good way to get a loop. So, a low volume will equal no feedback. But as mentioned, you can 'simulate' feedback. \ You could buy a little, and I mean little, amp and hang it on your mic stand around waste level to help create a loop while at low volumes. But practice with it. It will take some time learning to control it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmayfield Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Perhaps arislaf's suggestion above will work for your needs. Otherwise, no, this is not possible. Feedback happens when the sound from the amplifier resonates with the physical strings on the guitar, so for true feedback to happen, the sound coming from the amp must be loud enough to physically vibrate the guitar strings. The only other thing that might come close is something like a Fernandez Sustainer, but this would involve modifications to your guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I do the same thing arislaf does. I use the pitch glide set to +12 pitch, and mix is assigned to the expression pedal with values 0 to 75. You can hear an example of how this sounds in my song Prime Vinculum (about 1:30 in). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian6string Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I can get feedback-like overtones by using a ProCo Rat pedal in front of my POD. Perhaps if you use the POD version of it you can get something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucleusX Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The best way I know to achieve this with the least amount of artificialness, is getting a Sustaniac pup. These things give you infinite sustain and feedback @ any volume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6ZVou9eYnU - Jeff Loomis demo. The Boss FB-2 is also designed for this purpose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNouWh0mCxM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiRox Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Like the OP, I'd also like to be able to get controlled sustain/feedback at lower volume. Will the Boss FB-2 pedal's feedback control feature work on Variax modeled guitar tones (i.e. using the piezo pickup) with modeled amp tones through POD HD500x? If not, is there any feature in the POD that will deliver the desired result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, is there any feature in the POD that will deliver the desired result? I don't know if it will work with a Variax when plugged straight in. But there is no reason why it won't work if put in the FX Loop of the HD500. Can't believe nobody suggested using a compressor. But how can a compressor do the trick if there is not enough volume to create the loop effect? And yes, that is an actual question. I am not too old to learn.The lack of a feedback is great when I am playing pop tunes with Stef, but sucks when I am on a rock stage.

joel_brown Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Using a compressor will create sustain/feedback at a lower volume by boosting the signal of the note as it tries to die off. This is an Old School trick I've done for years. When I had to play lower volumes but still needed the sustain/feedback for Santana tunes, I'd crank up the compression. You still need some volume, just less. Yes I'm that old... I used to play Santana tunes when they were still kind'a new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well, I guess that depends on how low the 'low volume' would be. For me, it is either floor monitors or IEM's. I can make most volumes work, I can't make ear buds work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
