Feedback Eliminator?...

[Mr White]

Alright guys
I seen this on Ebay (click here) and I got excited cos I thought I might be able to afford rack gear!!!
Anyone got any experiences with them? Would it be able to wipe out microphonic feedback from shitty pickups? Do you still get some feedback or would I need to be turn it down/off?

Its fairly cheap and I thought it looked good [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Feedback Eliminator?...

i use one in my PA rack and it works great. i set the filters to auto and it will supress feedback within milliseconds as it occurs. i've used it weekly for 3 years and NEVER have had a problem with it.

i don't know how it would work in a guitar system. i never tried it that way.

I don't think it's really meant for use in a guitar rig. I did email the company and asked about it, they said it would be fine for using that way. I bought one from MF and hooked it up to my Mesa F-30 combo to try to elminate some feedback from my EMG pickups... it really didn't do shit! I promptly returned it.
A good noise suppressor pedal like the Boss NS2 or MXR Smart Gate works wonders.

I have several on my pa and they work great, never tried one on a guitar. I would think a good noise gate would work better. Look for an ISP decimator (ebay). Great peadal.

Re: Feedback Eliminator?...

Your better off to repair, repot or replace your microphonic pickup.

Re: Feedback Eliminator?...

Better pickups + NS-2 infront of amp = feedback free.

Re: Feedback Eliminator?...

Yeah Ive been planning on replacing the pickups for ages, but pickups are £70+ (or £40 if I get Kent Armstrong) and this Feedback Eliminator was £26 [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
In certain parts in my band when Im playing stop start riffs I just turn the guitar down and I dont get any microphonic feeback [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
