jerome_travis Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hello all! My Casino tends to feedback alot when I play at home (my room is pretty cramped) Would a noise gate pedal cut back on the unecessary feedback or is it ineffective? Inputs please!

charlie brown Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Amp proximity is, more than likely, the culprit. Turn the amp around or off axis about 90 degrees. IF it's body feedback...(the top vibrating at a different rate/frequency, from the back)...then stuff a rolled up sock in it or if you want a more permanent solution, remove the bridge pickup, put a piece of styrofoam, or balsa wood inside, snuggly between the top and the back, just under or behind the bridge, re-install the pickup, and you should see a marked improvement. If it's your pickups (harmonic) feeding back, you may need them wax potted? Some P-90's are, some aren't. 60 cycle hum, can be reduced by a Faraday's cage or "sheilding," the pickups. Let a qualified repairman, luthier, do that. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwhi2001 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Noise gates are for eliminating subtle background noise - hiss, hum etc. I suspect that what you have is microphonic feedback which could be reduced / eliminated by potting the pickups. I had a Sorrento with metal-covered P90s and it did it whenever I went to a high-gain sound for soloing. I solved the problem by selling it. If you're trying to play high gain / overdrive stuff you have the wrong guitar. If you want to pot them yourself, this is useful info : http://www.stewmac.com/freeinfo/A-LINDYFRALIN.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelh Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 noise gate pedal wont cut the feedback, turn the amp towards the wall, move further from your amp, or turn the guitar volume down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
