Long standing feedback...

[MitcheySevenFive]

Hi everyone, I know it can be more than difficult without speakers - but I need your help to create feedback that stays as long as possible even when I change the pitch on the string.

I use the Helix directly into the board without monitors etc. and not too extreme gain and despite numerous attempts and settings with the ‚Feedbacker‘ I have unfortunately not found a workable solution!

Is it possible to work with the settings of the amps (maybe in addition to the ‚Feedbacker‘) - without changing the amp sound in general?

I do not have any problem switching to an identical/similar sounding but “hotter” amp for these parts by stomp or snapshot.

Examples of the feedback parts I am looking for:
the part which is played from 0:18 min on in the background (can be seen from 0:54 min on):

or, for example, the parts in the verse of this song from 0:35 min on:

I would really appreciate your advice and help! Many thanks in advance ;)

Search for E Bow or Sustainiac - these are common solutions for getting infinite feedback without volume.

 

That said you can generate an artificial feedback sound with predefinded pitch without even using the guitar.

I attached a sloppy HX Stomp preset to give you a starting point. 

 

You don't even need the Feedbacker. Just use one or two 3 Note Oscillators feeding the amp. Make it footswitchable (Bypass Assign). Let it fade in with the Attack parameter. Add something like a Pitch Vibrato to let it become more alive. 
Go crazy and change the oscillator pitches via Contoller Assign or Snapshots.

 

Be creative!
