Feedback Guitar captures the iconic Les Paul playing at its sonic extremes in a large studio.
The result is a distinctive ambient pad featuring two articulation options, a perspective shift, and our innovative pitch-bending technology first introduced with Hemisphere Guitars. This library is inspired by the sound of amps and guitars feeding back on classic rock recordings or in live situations where guitars and amps are placed in close proximity. What began as an experimental project ended up creating an incredibly useful pad instrument. It was recorded in the expansive hall of The Nave Studio One, using a Gibson Les Paul being fed through a high gain amp and large Marshall cab.
The ‘wild’ articulation includes some squeals, capturing the inherent instability of a guitar feeding back. In contrast, the ‘tame’ articulation offers a purer sound, with samples meticulously edited to remove these instabilities.
This blueprint incorporates programming from Hemisphere Guitars, particularly the ‘held keys only’ pitch bend mode, which bends only the held notes while leaving sustain notes unaffected, for a more flexible playing experience.
MAIN CONTROLS
Tone
– Controls the high freq. roll-off and amp drive. Connected to CC1/ Mod Wheel for swells.
Release
– Control the length of the release.
Delay
– Control the level of the wet delay signal. Further settings in the cog menu.
Reverb
– Control the level of reverb with further settings if you click on the cog.
Perspective
– Shift between close and far perspectives.
Articulation
– Switch between a tamer pad sound or a more extreme and harmonically rich feedback sound.
SETTINGS
Releases
– Toggle whether note releases are on or off.
Velocity Response
– Control how much the volume of the instrument is controlled by the velocity input of your MIDI device.
Pitch Bend Mode
– Switch between Standard and Held Keys Only Pitch Bend mode. When Held Keys Only is engaged, only the held note will bend whilst any other sustained notes will maintain their original pitch.
Pitch Bend Range
– Increase the range of the pitch bend up to 12 semitones
