Re: One for the bottleheads

Fair enough - you like a particular sound. No problem with that.Don >>

I also reciprocally assume you also 'like a particular sound' -
presumably you're not an uncritical listener?

But I have to tell you that global feedback doesn't actually have a
sound,
rather it removes a sound, probably the very one you enjoy.>

My experiences of global feedback is that it subtly removes elements of
the timbre of certain instruments, so in that sense yes it does remove
a sound, but the timbre of instruments is something I personally very
much want to keep. If you like the sound of feedback, no problem with
that
