Creating Amp Feedback digitally

It may sound strange, but has anyone ever tried creating feedback digitally, like you would get in front of a cranked amp? I live in an apartment and cranking my half stack is not an option. I tried with a practice amp, but it was really uncontrollable and still neighbor bothering loud.

I was thinking of using what I recording, snipping bits and pieces and then pitch shifting them and adding reverb....I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried this and if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears.

Here's a trick I've used with electric guitar that works pretty well. Suppose you're recording through a pod or whatever, but you also want to be able to get feedback. I'll have the guitar player plug in through the pod, and then split the pod's output, one output to the computer, and one to one of those little battery-powered practice amps. Turn up the gain on the practice amp (it doesn't have to be loud, just high-gain) and play with the amp in front of the guitar. the feedback will be picked up by the guitar's pickups and fed back into the pod, which will deliver the feedback sound to the computer. If you have low enough latency, you can acually do this with the computer's output-- just route a spare output to a little practice amp with a high gain setting and go at it.

Cheers.

I'm getting a 5 watt "Badcat", just for this purpose. What I'd do is say ***** the neighbors for about an hour (or get permission) and record some real guitar with your amp and a mic. That's what I do, but my neighbors are cows (I know a lot of women are). But really, nothing is going to sound like real guitar, but a guitar thru an amp......................

Same old, same old Kenny. Playin' and recording. Got a lot of new tunes, nothing groundbreaking, but I think I'm following a good progression. We are turning our blues/jazz into torch music. Different, what we do live seems to go over. Lifes good though, no complaints. How 'bout yourself?..............

Kenny, where did you finally choose? I've lived all up and down both coasts. I just have a thing about being able to look at the Humbolt hills from my studio window......................

Sure miss what Humbolt is famous for............

Fog?

just kidding. Moved back to Arcata from Oregon last month. Love being back except for the fog.

myucka, I doubt software could do the sound of true feedback, or even close really. Im going to try yep's trick though. That sounds promising.

I don't think you can do this effectively

I've never had any luck either, making usable feedback digitally. Yeah Kenny, I lived in Clark County for a while '93. Not a bad music scene there. Have you been to that Pawnshop there downtown. You would know as they actually have/had some good stuff at fair prices. Don't see much of that anymore. Cruise west on that hwy on the North side of the Columbia, you will find many old hippies. Town called "White Salmon", lots of good scooter people go to a bar there, right on 74. Might releive your "Homesickness". NoCriminalIntent, I'm in Red Bluff if you ever come over, this side of the hill, email me first. We could get up, jam, record?? I play sometimes in Ft. Bragg, Eureka over that way. But I'm legally blind and Kali snatched my DL for that reason. So I am always with others over there. You ever go to the "Moonstone" shop? I know Steve........

NCI, I'm from Va. Beach originally. Till I was like 26 that was home base. You never get used to this oven, you just learn to adapt. We play up at Shasta and Alamor Lakes alot, so I get my "breathers". Yes I will email you. We have a gig I think in Crecent City in September, I'll email. Come out sit in, drink free band beer. I always get free draft (band beer) in our ryder. We never abuse it so I never get an arguement. We TRY to stay away from the alkyhol while working. Club owners really do not like drunk bands, no matter how much they smile. That would be cool...................

TYes Kenny I think thats the place, couple blocks south of Mill Plain. Now this was over 10 years ago but out in Battle Ground was a bar that had great jam sessions. Some surprisingly good players. Kind of an "Americana" thing at the time. People played Jazz, Blues, Country, or any combo. I remember the place was like you could bring a Champ and a Tele, and have a great time. Don't know if it is still there or not. But Portland is a music hotbed still. Sometimes Portland bands come thru here on their way to SF or LA .and we open for them. The scene must be great as how pro and well put together these acts are. Curtis Salgado works out of Portland. We opened for him last year, fantastic different blues player, blues harp the way it should be played. I can say that. In fact I just pulled this out of my bookmarks for you http://www.curtissalgado.com/biography.html ,check him out. Your in a good place Kenny, beats LA IMHO anyday.......................

I have A BOSS GT-6 guitar processor and Feedback is one of the options on it. Works great too.
