this is kinda a long one so bear with me...
I usually play my 5150 combo at very low levels. but i went to band practice the other day and when i cranked it i noticed a wierd feedback noise. Now this isnt your normal "When you take your hands off the strings" feedback. Its emitting this noise that sounds like a really high pitched shriek and it happens when im playing. Like if i hit a power chord and abruptly mute the strings it gives a short little shriek afterward
. every time i change chords or speedpick and jump to a power chord that sound comes through the mix. Now im not an amature at dealing with feedback. I run my guitar through a boss EQ then into a Rocktron "hush" pedal. i have the hush threshold maxed out and its still doing it. I do have my mids on the EQ pedal pushed and the same on my amp, but ive tried rolling the mids back-didnt help
tried rolling the high end an prescence out-didnt help
tried different cables-didnt work
tried running right into the amp with no effects-didnt help
I changed out my preamp and power tubes-STILL didnt help
In describing this problem to others they have simply said MICROPHONIC TUBES, but with all the bands that use and swear by these amps i just dont think that this is a normal noise. I have a gig in a week and i am freeking out. HELP!!!!!!!!!PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
