I'm hoping a few of you guys have some experience with moderately high gain amp settings in a live situation and can help me out. I'm in a Metallica tribute band and I've been trying to get their current live tone. It's not insanely high gain like Slayer, but it seems to have enough that I'm generating quite a lot of feedback. I've tried using a PEQ, which seems to help a bit, though I only found 1 primary frequency. But that does end up scooping my sound. It seems a lot of the feedback is coming from my mids. When I use the noise gates to try and bring this down, I have to use enough that it tends to affect the over all low end thump a bit and definitely decreases my sustain.
Anyone here have any experience in trying to get a moderately high gain amp with the least amount of feedback? It'd be great to achieve this with 0 noise gates if possible so that in a live setting I have plenty of room to add a bit when necessary without impacting overall sound/sustain.
I've uploaded 2 presets I've been playing around with trying to reduce this feedback. You'll see I have an Output 3 and Input 3 in the middle of the chain. This was an attempt to use this as an FX send/return and use a Decimator G-String noise gate pedal. This also affected my overall sound and sustain quite negatively.
My entire setup is: ESP Snakebyte with EMG Het set pickups -> Shure wireless router set to unity gain -> Axe FX 3 ->
Output 1 -> Matrix GT1600FX -> 2x Matrix 212 FRFR cabinets.
Output 2 -> 3 way splitter for house PA tap and our own mixer that's hooked up to a closed IEM system.
For my first show, I thought it was the FRFR cabinets making this squeal, so I turned output 1 to 0. I ended up having no stage volume, but the PA was find since it gets it's feed from output2. Even with output 1 off, I was sending feedback over the PA. So it doesn't seem to be the FRFR cabinets.
I apologize for the length post. Wanted to try and get all of the details I could think of written in case anyone has an advice/suggestions.
