    haha, sweet :) Yes, it's a nice piece of kit. Best money I've spent on music related stuff. And yeah, you'll dig the new medley. And it'll look a lot nicer than the original...no more shitty webcam. Plus not just the one shot with no changes.

    How to GET feedback?

    While it's not an instant (nor free) solution for right away, if you want truly controllable feedback, look into Sustainiac or Sustainer pickups.

    Acacia Strain/Djenty guitar tone, song in the works!

    I wouldn't call them sterile. I guess they don't colour the sound a great deal though. But they're very tight though and they don't turn to mud with very low frequencies like a lot of other pickups.
