For those with desktop speakers, try touching the body of the guitar to the desk with the speakers cranked. Or even to the shell of the speaker.
i've done all that, but I still can not create the "on the edge" tone of live feedback I like 9maybe I'm too anal)...I find that when I'm in front of a stack I can manipulate the feedback with more range and dimension than through monitors. Live when you're on the edge the fall off points are different and the results are different when the limits of the feedback are being pushed...:)

Well obviously nothing beats the real thing. ;)

dude I don't want to burst your bubble, but the guitar up against the head, at least for my tastes, would introduce too much hum from the transformer...worse with tubes.... :wink:

what exactly do you think the head does to help in this situation? BTW, though not set in stone, but most often 15s sound better with bass than guitar...I'm guessing you're using a bass cab...just curious if it's by design or necessity?

FWIW, I just bought a Fender Bassman heaf w 2x15 cab off a friend...I'm not sure why though, I guess because I didn't want him to get rid of it...:shrug:

:dog: you mean the headstock of the guitar...I thought you meant the amp head...my rig is rack mount and I use a stereo power amp that's 200 watts a side at 8 ohms, but I split the cab stereo and wired it down to 4 ohms for the extra push...;)

I agree, cyberpink. When you hear feedback through your speakers, all you're hearing is your strings' "sustain" (ie physically induced vibration that's continuous due to the nature of a feedback loop) being amplified again. This is only important to the tone in the same way that the core tone of the amp is important. If you're happy with your "sim" tone and the feedback it produces, you WILL hear the recorded results by using a mini-amp (or your monitors) for feeding back.

The exception being the undesirable kind of feedback, "microphonic" feedback, which most of us (except the truly hardcore nasty-tone mongers) avoid like the plague.
