feedbackk freekk that i am i think Belew w/ TalkingHeads in the early 80s 
explored and exploited all the beauty of the jc120 and its ability to just 
blow. w/ a worn out strat, bigmuff and a dynacomp he did the feedbacks 
good.

I had read that somewhere, but as Per said it was really 
the interaction between the "air from the
speaker transmitting the vibration 
back into the guitar". He also in that interview talked about a good tube 
amp 
needed for that, but that he was using a Roland JC 120 by then so go 
figure, 
lol
 
Think we should go off topic with this thread if it goes 
much longer? :)

I'm wiht you pon this Jeff. I can't pretend I don't love the 
  sound of drones, loops and Ebows as well as filter sweeps, sequencers 
and hand 
  drums. 
It's me dharma nature 
  man!
 
Peace
 
Gareth
 
ps I think you're 
  right about Frip too - 2 fuzz boxes and you're away.. I personally don't 
like 
  the lack of dynamics in the 2 fuzz effect. Ebows are much more 
  interesting...
