Hey guys,

Just wanted to see your thoughts, I have a frontman 212r with an American strat loaded with CS 69 pickups and D'addario .10 strings on the guitar. I have noticed that there is crazy feedback with this amp when the volume is at 10 and the treble is past like 3 on the amp.

Any ideas? I know that single coil pickups are more likely to have feedback since I tried hooking up a les paul style guitar and noticed there was no feedback at all.

Thanks

at 10? I have this amp and have yet to find a reason to dime the volume like that. In a five piece ensemble, I usually don't need to take it above 3 (then again I'm using all that clean head room).

That said, at that volume, yes, your guitar would indeed be prone to feeding back. Option A is to stand about 25 feet from the amp, Option B is to turn the sucker down. Can I ask what band or playing type setting you find the need to turn it up to 10?

I'm not sure if the reverb on that amp is a spring-type, or digitally created. If it's a spring reverb, then you might consider turning it way down. Reverb can cause feedback at really excessive volumes.
