I have an acoustic-electric guitar. Since I don't have a real amp yet, I'm connecting my guitar through computer to amplify the sound...

Here is my problem: I use FreeAmp2 (http://frettedsynth.asseca.com/freeamp2/index.html) as an amp simulation. When I turn the Overdrive on I often hear feedback (you know, that beeeep sound that destroys your ears). Then I have to turn the volume down, but then I hear almost nothing.
I noticed that feedback is usually high trebled.

How to get rid of that feedback? I tried cutting some frequencies like 630 Hz and 20 kHz and it helps a little.... (a little...) I heard for feedback eliminators(?). How do they work?

Anyway, can you help me, please! I have "terrible experiences" when the feedback starts to destroy my gear.

The idea of an acoustic- electric is to be able to amplify the clean sound of your guitar. You can get away with a tiny bit of over drive, but you are going to get feed back at loud volumes or overdrive. That is why acoustic amps have as much head room as possible to avoid any kind of distortion at high volume. I can play my axe at higher volumes than most because I damp all unplayed strings which cuts down on feed back.

Acoustic Electics are usually piezo systems, a piezo element is a little mic, if u are sitting rite in front of ur computer while playin the piezo will pick it up and cause feedback, turn ur comp speakers so they face the side instead or rite at u and this might cut down on the feedback

Chuck

PS, anytime u hold a mic in front of a speaker u will get feedback

Move the speakers further away from where you sit if possible.

I'll take your advice.

Is there any FREE vst plugin that cuts the feedback (high trebled) frequencies?
