Maude Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Thread revival! I've just bought a sheet of the foam board to make a pair of these. I usually go through the PA and use my amp as a monitor but at a recent gig I had a weird problem in that when I plugged my DI box into the snake I got a loud buzzing out of my amp, dodgy electrics I reckon as I haven't had it before or since. Anyway I digress, this meant just using my amp to supply all the bass and I struggled with feedback a lot, gaffer tape over the f holes helped and the notch filter sorted it but I had the filter turned up so high I almost lost that frequency, making one certain note very dull, so I thought I'd give a pair of these a try. A gig in a couple of weeks is in a venue where we are lined up against a wall with the PA almost level with us due to space and I anticipate problems.

slobluesine Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 4 layers of gaffa (single layer is no good) over the f holes will prove if it stops the feed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexpea Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) A mag pickup is very useful if you're trying to compete with a loud band. The Kent Armstrong one is great and looks very subtle. I bought one of [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Behringer-MX400-Micromix-Noise-Channel/dp/B000KGYAYQ"]these[/url] and use it to mix the mag signal with my piezo on loud gigs where I can't stop the feedback. I hardly every use my Mag pickup but it's always in my case as a backup if I'm struggling with feedback at a particular venue.
