With our KEEP IT SIMPLE, SETUP (KISS)™ method and our gauges you can check the vital areas of your guitar and use our tools to perform your own setup.

We demystified the process by developing innovative, precision gauges and tools combined with step-by-step general guidelines anybody can follow and setup their guitar to play and sound great. In collaboration with Master Guitar Tech Geoff Luttrell, Music Nomad has developed the KEEP IT SIMPLE, SETUP (KISS)™. My college major was Physics (which includes acoustics).Not only is it fun, but a properly setup guitar takes your playing and sound to a whole new level. I worked in the San Francisco Bay Area as a manager and sound man for rock bands and several nightclubs for 22 years. Only time and experience will allow you to automatically take actions to avoid feedback. Avoid those actions and your feedback will be minimized. This is basically the same type of feedback heard when a microphone is turned up too loudly or the mic is pointed at the PA speaker. Therefore, reducing the BASS a bit will often alleviate some of the problem. The screech frequency is determined by the distance between input and output, determining how quickly the output reaches the input (then loops around through the amplifier). Usually, even though you hear a high-pitched screech, the problem is actually caused by low frequencies, sometimes below the human hearing threshhold (i.e., subsonic) because they are more omnidirectional and thus more easily easily can loop between input (the guitar pickup, especially on a hollow-body guitar) and output (the speaker). Always mute it when not in use, or don't move it close to the guitar amplifier speaker when unmuted. What you're hearing is FEEDBACK caused by the nearness of the guitar to the amplifier speaker.

Cords left dangling keep rotating and soon wear out the plug and also the jack in the guitar and then that has to go to the shop. While on the subject ALWAYS run the cord at the guitar end either through the strap or your belt loop. one trip on the cord or step on it pulling the plug sideways in the amp and the jack is broken and it is a trip to the shop as well.

The common cause of this is to fail to run the cord through the handle of the amp. The next possibility is a broken jack on the amp. these will NOT work and can cause the feedback. I have seen some try to use speaker cables or junky 1/4 inch cables intended for home stereo. If you get the screech without the guitar connected, then TRY a new guitar cable. Moving the cable generates electrical noise which can trigger the feedback to start. If it doesn't MAYBE your guitar is "hearing the amp" which the guitar is then a microphone and can feedback. If it screeches, then problem is not feedback via the guitar. First thing is to disconnect your guitar and then plug in the cord to the amp.
