Yes...i'm more comfortable with the ART. I think you're right on the ingredients for feedback, but i suppose it would work even with folding back thru a house wedge.
There’s an old trick where you touch the head of your guitar to the cabinet. It can feedback at surprisingly low volumes.feedback comes from volume.
When I play my regular pub gigs, I always run my IEMs, Output 1 from AXE FX 2 XL+ to the FOH desk and Output 2 to my Atomic CLR and achieve feedback with ease. When I play small private gigs or weddings, I don't bring my CLR so the only guitar I hear is in my IEMs and still achieve feedback with ease. I can only put it down to my pickups, which are quite hot - Seymour Duncan Heavy Metal Live Wires.Hey Fractalites, I'm trying to get some feedback incorporated in some presets. We are all DI, all IEMs, zero speakers on stage. What do you use to achieve it and what are some tips? I'd like it to be able to be turned on via MFC when I want it.
I don't want to run a cab on stage, but if there's a way I could use a crappy little practice amp and loop it in, or even send signal from mixer to a little monitor, I would be open to that.
Thanks guys!
How close is your guitar to the PA speakers?When I play my regular pub gigs, I always run my IEMs, Output 1 from AXE FX 2 XL+ to the FOH desk and Output 2 to my Atomic CLR and achieve feedback with ease.

I'm using a Friedman BE amp block for crunch and HBE for dirty stuff, with a TS808 for solos with the usual settings of Drive on 0, tone set to taste and Level on 10. Personally I think it's my pickups because there's no guitar volume to interact with on stage to cause the feedback, so it must be coming from my hot pickups. It is feedback, not squeal that I achieve and I can sustain forever.
That probably hasn't really answered your question at all LOL.
I do wonder what kind of weddings you play too that require guitars with hot heavy metal pickups.
