As someone that plays at low volume and has neighbors I'd love an inbuilt feedback effect like this :
Feedbackinator

- Closed

Boss/Roland has had the effect for years.
iuse it all the time.
Its a feedback eliminator in reverse!
Deep notch that tracks input frequency and boosts the fundamental.
I am very surprised Boss/Roland did not get a patent on it.As a side note they do have a patent on infrared beam controllers and NO one will have that but Roland units.

OT
Didn't Alesis have one on the Air FX a while back? -
Man, i wish this would happen....Love the feedback effect

There's been three types of this device that I'm aware of - I have one of each.
1) BOSS DF-2 Super Distortion/Feedbacker. Analog-era pedal, tracks the loudest stable harmonic (usually the fundamental, but not always) then synthesizes a note with an artificial vibrato for as long as you held the pedal down. Took a lot of flack from guitarists for sounding cheesy, but worked quite well in a mix as long as you didn't draw too much attention to it. Out of production for years.
2) BOSS FB-2 Feedbacker/Booster. Recent DSP pedal, attempts to synthesize feedback in a more realistic fashion, but decays along with the note you're playing. Kinda of fussy, subtle and not as satisfying as it could be.
3) Fender "Runaway" pedal. Based on the SoftTube Acoustic Simulator plugin patent (which is a great plugin BTW.) Gives you some visual indication of whether the pedal's caught a harmonic to feedback on so you know whether you've got a good 'un BEFORE pressing the pedal down. A bit awkward in some respects, but a definite improvement over the FB-2. Feedback also decays (sometimes a bit chaotically) along with the original note. Not as good as the plugin, IMHO - that's got amazing character, enough to make you go "whoa".
Usually when I want a realistic feedback for recording purposes I break out an E-Bow which is like having a Sustainiac on the cheap. Great, great toy - or you can use a famous old studio trick, which is to touch your guitar headstock against a loud studio monitor and hold it there while sustaining a note. Works wonders!

+666 for that effekt

does somebody know where to buy the
Fender Runaway Feedback Pedal
in Germany

The Roland effect only decays if the gain/volume is too low to support feedback. By enabling this effect, infinite sustain is possible at reasonable gains and volumes but some gain and volume is required. Using the effect with its depth/mix control at subtle levels and playing at mdium to high gains at lower amp volume (guessing maybe 88+ db sound pressure) it feels like a cranked amp in the room where feedback can be coaxed anytime by rolling my Strat's volume from 8 to 10. Its pretty useful.
I don't think it was designed to use with headphones unless you clamp them around your headstock

I too would love a feedback effect! Ive been setting up amps just to record feedback at the end of tracking records because at the moment i just cant do it with kemper

I can get good natural feedback pretty easily with the Kemper, it's just a matter of turning up the volume and sometimes the gain too to add compression, when I was experimenting with it I even used it for the whole of the lead line in one noodle ( here : http://www.peranders.com/general/noodle120408b.mp3 ). The trouble is that turning up that volume isn't always an option and while I love my e-bow it's never quite the same. -
When I record with SPDIF I use a combo monitor amp at the same time when I want easy feedback.
It doesn't have to be insanely loud but the interaction PU's to speaker is much more natural this way. -
Doc: but then you do not monitor the track from audio interface as well, you just align it after, correct?
-
Actually no, Davide. I don't have phase issues.
My recording setup is:
KPA SPDIF out in Focusrite Saffire 24, KPA monitor out in combo. There's no problem at all, and the playing feel is most natural this way, very "live", like I'm used to. -
Yep, is what I mean: you monitor the guitar from the Mustang only, not from the studio monitors as well.
-
Yep. But actually I don't have to turn off monitoring from the DAW. Still no phase issues.
-
Ok, that means that Kemper and DAW introduce the same latency. Lucky!

+1 for this effect
