Getting rid of feedback

[fusion101]

I everyone. I'm having some trouble getting rid of feedback when I connect a microphone to my fender super reverb. I realize that a tube amp isn't the best place to plug a microphone into, but I can't afford a new amp just for the microphone. I was thinking about pluging the microphone through a boss ns-2 noise suppresor and then into the super reverb, but I'm not sure if it will work. What do you guys think?

Pretty sure a noise suppressor isn't going to get rid of feedback, just hum.

I have done it...but I had to replace a speaker on my amp combo. not sure if it was cause of the microphone. you should put the mic behind the PA speaker. then worry about the techno fixes.

i'm assuming you've tried to move the positioning of the microphone? just make sure it isn't pointing at the speakers.

Positioning and EQ are going to do more than the gate.

Why are you running a Mike into this? It sounds like a Volume Issue to me. The original 2 channel Fender amps were made specifically to drive a Microphone and an Instrument(the reverb channel was for voice). Get a longer cable and turn the volume down to minimize the feedback thats really the best you can do!

Your Super Reverb was not designed for a microphone. You MIGHT be able to eliminate some feedback with a graphic or parametric EQ.

Don't waste your money--you'd be far better off to invest in a small PA that IS designed for a microphone input.

You can pick up a Behringer Feedback Destroyer/Parametric EQ for about $100.00 new 60-80 in a pawn shop and they are a greta parametric AND feedback eliminator. The one shot mode finds the troublesome frequency and attenuates it up to -48 dB! Plus the parametric eq is a superfly tone shaper.$0.02:smokin:

Well the problem with that is, the destroyer is not meant to be directly plugged into a mic.

Are you using it for harmonica? You could also use lower gain preamp tubes like 12au7's.

Re: Getting rid of feedback

The Destroyer sounds like a cool idea. Any guitar effects should be fine if you are running a microphone into a guitar amp anyways.
