I've always found feedback pedals pointless. The whole point of feedback is that it's loud not so you can get it through a practice amp and pretend you're awesome.

it's more fun to crank and do it for real.

plus, from the sound of it, this pedal only takes a single note to feedback, like some kind of set pattern...
real feedback does not work that way.

Looks to be based on the same principle as the boss feedbacker. Pretty much useless.

right..I'll copy and paste something one of my friends said in another forum about this exact subject. I didn't say it so even though its right it wasn't my words..

"Another way to get feedback easier is to have lower output, microphonic pickups. You could even try lowering your pickup height on your guitars. That would force you to crank up your amp more to be the same volume, thus helping to achieve feedback."

--So i'm sorta thinking useless also--

My Boss FB2 does the same thing but without the treadle, it's fun - especially when run into a distortion pedal.

It's the sort of pedal I always want to be great, and is without fail always shit.

Some of it sounded believable, some of it sounded really stupid and bolted on. Also, fuck that price!

What annoys me about them (and about the eBow) is that the feedback tends to shift up an octave.

Isn't that what controlled feedback does? It's been so long since I was playing loud enough to actually remember...

unless you run it through a fuzz or overdrive, then whammy pedal, in which case its pretty cool.

I'd give the eBow a pass given that it was generally marketed as a "sustainer" (or a bow) and not a "feedbacker", am with you on the pedals though. They just hold a note, and that's not feedback.

Mine has a tendency to shift everything up an octave. And that's when it's not set in the 'octave' setting.

I used to be really into using feedback in solos at gigs which is easy when your cranked up and in the sweet spot but I could never practice it at home so I can kinda see the point in it. I tried a few of the others and this is definately the "best" sounding one I've heard.

No it ain't particularly natural but it ain't too bad tbf. I won't be buying one but would be very interested in seeing some practical results with it. I need trust these sort of demos.

Sorry to resurrect a (fairly) old thread but has anyone tried one of these out? It doesn't look as though it has been released in the UK but US retailers have them.

Been watching ebay for them, but they only seem to be for sale in the US and new, not seen and secondhand ones yet.
