Hey Guys,

I am a musician (beginner guitarist really) and I do a lot of house mixing for some venues as well. I have a few issues I want to resolve before the next big gig.

We run a Behringer Feedback Destroyer Pro. That is to say, it sits on top of the rack of equipment, looking pretty. How exactly does this piece of metal work? A friend of mine came back to the board yesterday and basically said "Well nobody really knows how to use this, I don't even think Behringer does, but set it on 6 and it'll pick out the frequencies causing the feedback" Now I know this machine is a post EQ, so how does it interact with the mixer?

Lastly, we also use a Graphic EQ (I'm going out on a limb and saying Behringer as well, not 100% sure) What's the best way of ringing out the house? We have a bunch of compressor mics that are flown in, so that is something that will feedback easily if you try to push them even a little. I would like to get a bit more out of it though.

Any Ideas?

Ok...I'm no expert...but the Feedback Destroyer seems to be a Feedback Suppressor and Parametric EQ that notches out small portions of frequencies that can cause feedback.
