Feedback Buster

[Telejazzer]

Does anybody here use one? Does it affect tone?

I've got one and planning to try it on Sunday. Thought I'd ask some of you on your experience.

Tried this once, and it didn't take. Let's see if I can get past operator error...

Our PA has a feedback eliminator, which has variable effectiveness, but is not very intrusive on tone. I have used an older Sabine product (which is now superseded by something called the FBX-SOLO-SM820) that worked well without killing tone too much. Oh, and my LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI has a sweepable notch filter that works ok and doesn't have too much effect. However, YMMV.

Funny, I thought a Feedback Buster was one of those black rubber thingies you stuffed into the soundhole.

Thats what I thought too lol

Is that the brand name of those? I had thought telejazzer was talking about the automatic digital notch filter thiningies (thingies being a technical term):hmm: Guess that is the name of those (looking at sweetwater). Didn't think about that at all. Color me chagrined:embarassed:

Used one with my Larivee. I could never tell the difference in the amplified sound with one in, but the on stage sound from the guitar is a bit strange. However, interestingly, it did not quite get the job done for the longest time, which is why I had the Sabine. Then one day, everything changed, and I did not need the Sabine or the feedback buster. So, I gave/sold the sabine to an acquaintance (he needed it, and I sold it to him inexpensively enough so he could afford it - different praise band). Still have the rubber thingie in the Larivee case.

Wow, see what happens when you ask an engineer how to fix a problem? Particularly one that works with control systems all day long. When you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

I've used the rubber soundhole plug FeedBack Buster over the years and found them effective.
If they effect the tone at all, it may be that I perceived a slight tightening of bass frequencies. Nothing that couldn't be EQ's back in.

That was my experience using one as well.

I end up not using it this Sunday but yes, that what I meant.

Then my original reply must have seemed TRULY strange.
