Any tips on feedback loops with the cue outs?

I’m having a blast controlling an H9 from the OT with MIDI and cue outs. I found that sending the H9 signal back into itself can make some really nice drones and stuff but it gets really messy quickly.

However sometimes I would like to summon Cthulhu :slight_smile: Are there any tricks for making a controllable feedback loop like this? I would like to be able to program it in rather than tweak the cue manually.

OT, midi control, H9, feedback looping… i am actually surprised @sezare56 didn’t reply yet :wink:

I am interested in this as well. Is there a risk of damage to the preamps?

Put a compressor acting as a limiter at an appropriate spot in your OT chain.

Yes I did already try that although not much as I didn’t want to break anything, I guess I’ve got to figure out how loud it actually goes so I can feed the OT to suit.

Thanks for the tip! I’m new to pedals so its all trial and error at the mo :slight_smile:

Also don’t forget that you can do feedback with a recorder. Use a flex machine to play a recorder buffer with source = cue and turn up the cue level which introduces feedback. :slight_smile:
