Can also add an envelope follower to the synth mix control, set operation to Src1 - Src2, then it subtracts the signal from the envelope follower to basically reset the effect if you play a new note. This does require messing with the scales of the sources a bit, and probably is different from rig to rig. Seems like an expression pedal opens a lot of options for fine control here.

This is very cool Leon. It appears there are enough blocks in the VP4 to pull this trick off. If the VP4 works out as I hope it will, I will be able to reduce my pedal count and my instrument count greatly, which is something I have been wanting to do for a long time. I have three infinite sustain guitars, but I like this approach much better than wasting three instruments to get this sound and also having three instruments without a usable neck pickup. Cheers!

Thanks Todd, as you mentioned, you do need to adjust playing style a bit and release of the effect (I routed to a Pedal controller) because with the Synth engaged if you don't play anything the synth starts playing random notes. Very useful effect, again as you mention, working to recreate digitally what comes natural with an amp setup. Much appreciated.

I looove controlled feedback. Ever since I 1st heard Brad Gillis in Night Ranger use it in his solos in a musical way...I was hooked. When my parents got tired of my guitar cranked up all the time, I made a homemade sustainiac (based on the original concept)....a headphone amp driving a single, large diaphram headphone, strapped onto the guitar...either headstock or body. That was enough to keep me going for a long time. I don't have a Fractal (maybe one day), but I DO have the Freqout pedal...which I love and tend to overdo. :) Feedback is a very addictive thing. Almost like a wah, it can become a crutch. lol

Thanks for demoing this, Leon! I briefly read through the forum thread and watched the demo video when Simeon posted it and thought, "that's really neat, but I've already got a Freqout." Now I'm thinking I may just need to put my Freqout up for sale! I'm definitely giving this a shot this weekend. Have you tried changing the shift to be below the trigger note to emulate the "low" feedback thing the Freqout does?

I got this working on my Axe FX ll but one issue is on the higher notes the synth goes wacky when I apply any vibrato or even if I try holding it steady. I don't have all of the setting you have there but I do have most of them. Also sometimes with the expression pedal to zero I still hear synth noise in background.

this is a nice trick but in lower gain situations the tracking falls apart and there are synth artifacts feeding into the signal. i have tried with the send-return blocks but didnt have much luck cause the signal gets out of control fast and there's only noise very quickly. have you tried with the S/R blocks with any success yourself?

So much work and yet it doesn't require a lot of in-the-room volume to get real feedback with an Axe-FX setup if you're using a real guitar cabinet. (No cabinet IR) I'm a feedback junkie and never had to play that loud to get great feedback, particularly in a high gain setting like this one.
