Does anybody know of a vst that can mimic the sound of guitar feedback?

TIA

Predatohm does that.

There is already something like this? Damn. I've just started doing such an effect.

No harm in having another one, though...

I've been wanting to do one too, but I'm pretty new to C++ & it's not going too well

Predatohm has a nice-sounding feedback effect, but it's a fixed pitch, like the squealing that comes from your pickups (microphonic feedback) rather than the kind you get from your strings.

reFX Slayer has a decent feedback effect as well.

triangle ll from Rgcaudio does some decent feedback sounds, set the wave to sine put the filter on high resonance and play with the filter effect

I would check out ReFX Layer's mp3 demos and program demo. I think this is one of the program's strong points.

Debaser and Debaser Free from Concrete FX will do feedback emulations,too.
ew

Turn up your monitors, yee ha!


(sorry)

Thanks for the tips guys...

Helium, pleeze don't be put off completing the project, I for one would be interested in hearing it.

That's the way I normaly do it, but

and that's why I started this project.

I would like a dedicated filter to create this effect at low volume it's true, or maybe something with joystick input, ala wammy bar.
You're right about the neighbours though, I living in a farmhouse!
Actually I spent my teens getting my ears blasted (Hawkwind perforated my eardrums*) and then decided I preferred acoustic. Can't stand really loud stuff anymore...

*that should be in Hosts

An amp feedback simulator that could be controlled by MIDI or automation would be WAY cool. Mmm... feedback.

If you rest the headstock of the guitar on one of your monitors, and you have enough gain in your guitar sound, it's really easy to get feedback at low volumes.

(It's important that the guitar-wood and the monitor-wood have fairly firm contact.)

I used to do that, lean the guitar against the speaker cab and hammer the bigsby, can you get the Hendrix style harmonics that way, using a filter maybe?
Back to Predatohm maybe

Errrr, to be honest, I don't know what "Hendrix Harmonics" are. But I get all the wierd and wonderful harmonics I need by varying the attack with the pick and combining it with bits of finger contact (right hand) and releasing the grip (left hand).

Hey, this is fun! KvR guitar forum! We need an extra forum topic "Vintage Guitars"! (Well, actually, my favourite is a '61 Melody Maker that I modified with a PAF at the bridge, a lipstick at the neck, and of course a Bigsby...)

Ahh, the memories: I have an old "Super Feedbacker and Distortion" pedal (Boss DF-2) that would analyze the pitch of the current note being played and then synthesize and fade-in a sine wave over it within the harmonic series when you held the pedal down. Used it all the time for weird stuff.

These days, I have an MFX plug that will play random overtones (within the harmonic series) on top of the incoming MIDI note. I imagine it could be altered to play the sine wave on a different output port with a slower attack than the held note. 'Course, it wouldn't work for audio signals...

About Predatohm feedback :
Hell no, it's not a fixed pitch. First you can change (and automate) the frequency, but if your looking for real Nirvana's larsen (aaah, so lovely gig's endings...) what you want to do is to change the band split frequencys while having some feedback. To hear it in action :

before

after

Note that you can also achieve some crazy feedback alike results with Quad Frohmage self-resonatings filters.

Sure, I just invoked the guy because everybody's heard him do it. I know how to do that too but can you do it with the head stuck on the monitor?- which was the subject.
Greg- thanks for the examples, with midi control that might just work.

I knew ohmforce was from another planet. It's a classic Child's story. from the Brothers Grimm;
http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rumpelstiltskin/
Grimm's Tales is full of the sort of images you might be able to use- keeps the Xtians away

France isn't another planet. They just don't have all the same children's stories. To be honest, I doubt too many kids today in any country would be familiar with their stories.

Well, we have it, but the name is different. Actually I am not sur what was the original language used by Grimms for their tale but I wouldn't be surprise if it was french...

Anyway, Grimm's brothers didn't knew anything about a good feedback, so send them to hell!

Most of those tales are traditional from mainland Europe. I am suprised the name is different in France
Cleaned-up ancient European horror stories, yes. Feedback, no.

They were german. And the original name isn't Rumpelstiltskin but Rumpestielschen. (OK you don't know how to pronounce that).

Well yeh of course I can The original BG is 'Rumpelstilzchen' Not that different.
Anyway that's about as off topic as I'm going to get.

One good Feedback sounding VSti i found is DMI's flute

cut out the "breath" noise lower the Filter's Rezz and play really low on your keyboard
Krrrreeeewwwweeeeeeessshshshshyyy (controlable with a keyboard and won't have the side-effect of making you deaf and kicked out of your appartememnt)

good luck

P.S. if oyu need help I can sen you a .fxp of the setting for that
