Default How can I ADD guitar feedback?

I'm searching high and low trying to figure out how to add some guitar noise/feedback to a song that I'm working on. Everything I am finding through Google is how to eliminate guitar feedback.

I'm using Amplitube and plugging in via an M-Audio interface. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or knows of any effects that might help.

Thanks!!

Turn it up! and stand in front of your monitors.

I really don't recommend this, but it will work.

There was a plugin a while back that was suppose emulate feedback, but you guessed it... it sucked (and it was $100).

What exactly are you trying to do?

It's all in the distortion, any mainstream amp isn't going to allow feedback.

I made some clones of that Boss feedback pedal, here they are -

LP filter that feedbacks into itself w/a clipper to control it, pitch vibrato

There's a feedback emulator pedal that can be purchased from amplitube custom shop. But it only does an emulation on single notes.

An alternative is to use a compressor on a high setting in front of an overdrive sound, which will help to get feedback from your monitors.

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.

What about using the Routing Matrix???
Could be intense!!

Probably want to control it heavily...
E.G. Limiters, Compressors
