Location: Charlotte NC | I just picked up one of those rubber insert "Feedback Busters". No problem getting it into my 1771 LX and as expected, my unplugged sound went out the window. That's no biggy though as it comes out as easy at it goes in. I'll be using it the first time this weekend in a church service for a solo. I got it to deal with a slight feedback problem I have when doing solos and having to get up front a little closer to the stage monitors and the bass player's rig. I'm going to get about 5 mins or less for setup/soundcheck and was curious as to how differently, if at all I should need to adjust my eq to compensate for the buster. What I hear in the monitors is usually not a good representation of what is heard out front. Does the buster effect the sound signal to the PA in any particular area, less bass, less mids etc? I usually set pretty flat with the shape button pressed in.
Thanks! |

Location: NJ | It does flatten the bass response a little bit, but nothing you can't compensate for. They work GREAT in loud environments. Before I bought mine, I always had to always keep my strings muted with my hand when I wasn't playing during our "full band" gigs. After I popped that sucker in, never had a problem . . . |

Location: Scotland | All a feedback buster does is raise the resonant frequecy of the soundbox. Acoustically that equates to a little less bass response, plugged in any difference can be compensated with EQ. They aren't a cure-all, but it's better than having nothing to fight feedback. A feedback buster will usually get you 2-3dB extra headroom |
