Feedback

[Marshalldude]

I've got a marshall mg 100 hdfx head and marshall avt 412 cab . When i play loud with my band theres feedback. I try to move away but still nothing seems to change. If i drop down the volume on my guitar it's less worse but still. Can somebody tell me whats the problem or solutions?

Thanks

Are you using any effects off of head? Did you try to plug in your other guitarist amp and see if you feedbacked from his? Are you pickups single coil?

[Marshalldude]

I don't really use effects and tried on other amp. I have 2 single coil and 1 humbucker (washburn wr-150 about equivalent to a washburn X10 ) it's a cheap guitar.

I'm assuming it feedsback when you stop playing and don't turn the volume off on the guitar?

If that's the case 2 quick fixes would be to get a Noise Gate and/or get in the habit of turning your volume off when you stop.

What's a noise gate ?

[disobedience]

Basically it stops your signal from going through to your amp until it reaches a preset threshold.
Ie: if you aren't playing anything it effectively turns off your guitar, but as soon as you hit a string the signal goes through.

Turn away from the amp, and move away.. if your pickups are directed at the cabinet, it will feedback like a microphone does.

As disobediance said, get a noisegate, or a volume pedal. When you stop playing, kick the volume pedal off, end of problem.
