Someone else already said it, but it's true: Amplitube is probably built in such a way that it REDUCES feedback. It's not optimized for getting that sound. It's like swimming upstream. You might as well try a different method.

I would run your guitar through either A) a CHEAP nasty distortion pedal that's very hot (think a Boss DS-1).

OR B) a nice, PRICEY distortion pedal that's really hot. I recommend the MXR M116. It IS a bit expensive, but it gives me the most outrageous feedback I could ever ask for. You can't beat real, analog pedals for tone.

Get the excessive feedback you want using a non-digital pedal and then use plug-ins to tone it down and adjust your levels. It's much harder to create good, sexy feedback than eliminate it.
