I'd like to create the classic guitar feedback sound in the box without using an external amp. Whats a go to plugin or technique I could use?

 

samples and a convoltion plugin?

 

You have at least 2 options:
Blue Cat's AcouFiend https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_AcouFiend/

And Acoustic Feedback, https://www.softube.com/af

I suggest that you try both to see which one fits your need better.

 

I tried it and it didn't convince me, sounds too artificial.

 

Yeah, I couldn't get anything decent out of it.

 

Has anyone experience with the Blue Cat's?

 

Try both but I doubt you or anyone else would find them any good. I didn't.

 

I demoed it and then unistalled it. It is far too linear and unrealistic. It was like scratching nails on a blackboard and chewing tinfoil on a metal tooth filling.

 

a

awesome thank you! I'm gonna grab demos of each. The artificial vibe might be cool. I like when a plugin does something abnormal.

Cheers!

 

softube AF with a BIG COMPRESSOR in front (i used http://distorqueaudio.com/plugins/vitamin-c.html )
And MOVE your fingers/vibrato to help a subtle "sustain"

I played this AMAZING song with it (original guitarist use a sustainer/sustainiac) :

 

oh. so just like real feedback.
