Guitar feedback playing Electric guitar feedback as desired effect entered into musical history beginning in the early 60's. It has been used extensively by Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, The Who and many others. All these artists used their own technique to integrate guitar feedback in playing. Controlled guitar feedback can be gorgeous producing wide ranging effects.
Guitar feedback is mostly produced by playing at a very hight sound level so that feedback from the speaker sound waves to the guitar strings occurs. While high gain distortion sounds give you this feedback already at a medium sound level, crunch sounds require a more extensive sound volume. On stage it's difficult to reach good and reproducible feedback conditions. Many players turn up their sound level before playing with feedback and then turn down it in order to continue with normal playing. To phase sound leveling and string positioning in space is tricky.
However, extensive sound levels and poor feedback reproducability are limiting this gorgeous effect till this day. Not only on stage but also in recording studios. Time consuming experiments are required for adjusting good feedback conditions. Considering the wide field of home recording it must be stated that such feedback techniques cannot be applied a bit to low volume or earphone playing.
What is the Guitar Resonator ?
The Vibesware Guitar Resonator is a new patent-registered harmonic feedback generator. It will bring you any string vibration feedback live on stage, in recording studios and at home. Get the same powerful and reproducible harmonics at any sound volume. Even if playing with headphones. Gorgous feedback sounds of a fully turnded up amplifier stack ? Tones passing into feedback whenever you want ? Generate traditional feedback effects or create your own feedback style. The Guitar Resonator will give you a new dimension of guitar playing !
Unlike other magnetic string vibration devices, the Guitar Resonator is stationary which means it is neigher fixed at your guitar (like the guitar build in Fernandes Sustainers™) nor hand-held (like the Ebow™). You can use both hands for normal guitar playing. Electric guitars can be used without any modification. Simply connect the signal from your guitar to the Resonator box which acts as a signal splitter.
