I think, maybe, a "feedback" plug for guitar?

[chrisharbin]

I was just thinking a song of mine could use feedback on the guitar, but I have no idea how to achieve that being 100% in the box. Then I remembered that some people tried that a long time ago with....marginal results at best.

Maybe now with tech being so much better, someone should rethink the idea. Who better than UAD? Am I daft, or would others be interested?

I use one of these. Works great plugged into DAW with amp sims.

I’ve never used it but Softube has a plugin for that: https://www.softube.com/af

Yes, something like that in plugin would be handy me thinks.

That's been out for quite some time. I've used it, it's "ok"ish. But I think it's time for someone to go above and beyond since the tech/coding is better and better.

i have a nice fernandes guitar with built in sustainer, perhaps i can record you some feedback ?



do you know the EBow? this also creates some nice tones and feedback

there are also a couple of synths that can produce guitar kinda like feedback (like Roli Equator 2), and some sample libraries have feedback notes as well, i´m not sure about Pigments, but i think Pigments also has a guitar lead sound patch that could be used to simulate some feedback

 

[chrisharbin]

Yeah, ebow, I forgot about that. Yeah, I'll look into that today, might help. But I still think a good plug would be right up UAD's ally.

You can record some feedback by putting your guitar through some headphones or even your studio monitors and doing the whole pickups to the speaker thing.

What’s the frequency Kenneth?!?

& @MakerDP kind of beat me to it but,..

I’m a huge fan of controlled (& sometimes uncontrolled) feedback. I guess it depends on how severe you want the effect.

I used to only go for real amps for such, standing near them for the right note to blossom.

Lately, I’ve been using the Lion and if I crank my monitors and position the guitar pickups near one of the monitors I can get the beginning stages of feedback - the slow-ish ramp-up of the fretted notes’ octave to bloom. More immediate feedback for me would likely have me going back to real amps again.

The Digitech pedal @LesBrown mentioned is something on my wishlist for a while. The old Boss Feedbacker may be something you’d wanna check out too. Both of those seem to get controlled feedback at fairly low volumes.

Hope you get the harmonics you want,
Cheers!

I've always been in awe of how Robben Ford can get his Dumble right there and then completely back it off. He's a master of controlled feedback.

 

[chrisharbin]

Yeah, controlled FB with a "real" amp is of course ideal. I just thought (you know, with my little pea brain) that we are in an unprecedented time with tech where this could be done better with a plug. That Softube is really old tech, but I think with so many people like me being in the box, that a good plug that could create this would be something up many peeps ally.

I posted a similar request a while back, wishing for some sort of 3D space mapping, to where if you move your guitar around you get the different notes trying to sustain. Kind of like what Waves did with their Abbey Road plug.
I’d totally be up for something that helps emulate the feel/touch of a loud amp on fire in the room next to you.

Yeah, something like that. And again, who better that UAD?
