recording silent without an amp but live it's loud so there's always feedback, i want the same when recording, what would you recommend ?

danelectro fabtone can feedback like crazy, and it's cheap

My MBM Crunch Box feeds back really easily and musically at low volumes.
Have never tried it without an amp though, just quietly at home it still works as well as loud.

I think "recording silently on headphones" and "feedback" are pretty much polar opposites, so I'm not sure how you'd go about such a thing. I guess you could use a second pair of headphones turned WAY up and kept very close to you guitar? But that's hardly silent though.

Or maybe try a feedback loop pedal? That'd be feeding the signal back into the pedal the same way the whole pickup-speaker setup would.

boss super feedbacker?

For feedback, the strings have to sympathetically vibrate as a result of the sound from the speakers, so even with a lot of gain, you're not going to achieve this silently I don't think. You need a high gain pedal and to use an amp, albeit quietly.

Sounds like a (shit) synth, nothing like the real deal. It's fun for about a minute.

My Way Huge Fat Sandwich feedbacks really easily, however it's a bit pricey if that's all you want it for.

I totally agree (regarding the original Boss one - haven't tried the clone). What a shit effect that was - aimed squarely at bandwagon jumpers who, up to two minutes earlier, were all about chorused-up Strat arpeggios, I'd say.
As stated the only way to get feedback is to get the strings vibrating. Maybe you could do it quietly (if not silently) by using an amp simulator and a computer monitor speakly, though.

FEEDBACK LOOP

cool man, i found it on the internets on my phone but didnt check up on the sound. i picked up on it cause i remember someone on here saying the boss one was good a few months back.
that pedal in that video clip was fucking cool

This is amazing. Want one. Totally want one. On the site it says they only ever five of them, though. WTF?

Oh no, they still have it, just a different box. $160 though, with $30 shipping. Pooooop.

I really wanted an utter stutter for ages... the price put me off in the end

The video is cool.

Charging people $190 for this thing isn't.

mmm.. floating board just waiting to short out on stuff.

mmm.. total cost of parts less than $20.

im getting crazy sounds running a fabtone into the thunder.


the thunder is super bassy and the fabtone is trebbly shit, when you turn them both on together, the mids spike and squeeele

WOW I'm building an feedback loop and buying a cheap tremolo to put after it, isn't that what this is?

yeah i know recording silent and feedback are total opposites but i can get feedback in garageband (there's an option to not not block feedback) but that's when i use the amps with some fake dirt pedals in garageband, usually when i use my pedalboard into my laptop, it doesn't feedback like that. sometimes i use that behringer delay it can feedback but then it always has a bit of echo flavour to it not dry, and i don't like tuned feedback much, like all those trendy noisebox fuzzes with feedback loops, i mean it's nice for noise and all but for punk and garage stuff it just sounds too fake and controlled.

also apologies, i think i was drunk when i made this thread ? i saw a boss feedbacker and wanted to make a post but really i need to check some demos and all to see what pedals feedback a lot.

with my hondo it's easy to get feedback, even recording straight into a laptop, as long as there's enough dirt on it it will feedback lots, but with my mustang i can never get it to sound the way it does through an amp so lately i've only been using the hondo if i'm not recording anything clean. recording an amp is totally out of the question because usually i record late at night and i also don't have money for proper mics to record an amp proper. so it'll never sound as direct as when i record directly into a laptop.
