Hi. I'm noodling around with a virtual LesPaul, and having lotsa fun with it. I can run it through several amp/cab sims, and get a decent sound out of all of 'em. The only thing that is sorely lacking is feedback on sustained notes.

I've got the freeware Voxengo Boogex and Tubebaby, as well as FreeAmp SE (all awesome considering they're free), the lite version of Revalver that comes with Sonar, as well as the commercial Slayer2. I find a plucked and sustained single-note when using Slayer2 VSTi sounds about as much like a real string as a doorbell, but a sample-based guitar run through the FX version of Slayer2 can sound adequate (though I'm about to toss it as I think the freeware amps sound better). However, the feedback feature in Slayer2 does not really cut it at all when running samples through it I've found.

Is there an inexpensive or free amb/cab sim that will generate feedback, or even an effect I can use in conjunction with my current sims that will simulate feedback on long sustained notes from a sample-based guitar plugin? Or is there a way to acheive that with what I already have that I just haven't clued into?

Why you dont use a speaker with your GTR in front of it !
A PC speaker gonna work.

erm...because I'm not using a guitar...? I'm using a Sample-based VST with guitar samples built into it. If I could play guitar, I wouldn't be here

Hi OldGeezer,

Have you heard of/tried SimulAnalog Guitar Suite? If not, then go to :

http://www.kvraudio.com/get/465.html

It's free, and it may help you. I like it a lot, although I've been using the Amplitube VST more.

i have never had the need for feedback....

might be able to get it with a mic though and sample that instead...

Thanks everyone. Simulanalog is nice too, but it doesn't do feedback (I don't think)

Slayer2 is the only one I've tried that does feedback. And it can do some damned impressive wailing lead stuff. But I want an authentic sounding LesPaul, and running my particular sampler through the FX version just aint the same.

I suppose I could give the mike a shot, adding the sampled feedback to the real (VST instrument) track...not sure how authentic it'll sound.

Guitar Junkie, I'm shooting for the kind of feedback you get in the intro to ACDC's "Shoot to thrill". I don't think it'd sound natural not to have feedback in that piece...if you're into those kind of tunes

Oh, and I couldn't find that feedbug plug...sounds mighty interesting. The unrealeased plugs link has been replaced with "CURRENTLY OFFLINE, SOMEONE PUBLISHED IT, SORRY"

Bummer. Those are all some cool looking plugins though.
