Support |
Forsooth! I've never used a sustainiac or a stealth plus, but I thought I recalled reading a ways back that the magnetically induced sustain could also be used to generate controllable feedback, and it was in that context that I queried. Verily. Anywho, this is utterly fascinating to me. I wasn't aware that guitar mounted microphones (as opposed to pickups) were being used for these purposes, although it makes sense. I did a number of searches on the web and waded through a slew of pages describing the importance of eliminating feedback in microphones, but no luck turning up any evidence of the equipment you describe. Can anyone point to any links that may have more info on this? As far as listening to artists who use this stuff, I'd love to! Offhand, I'm not aware of any who I know use feedback microphones on their guitar (apart from yourself, obviously), and I suspect the ones who do, may neglect to mention this in the album credits. Can anyone recommend any? Thanks!
