increases the sensitivity towards undesired direct feedback from the
Resonator to the pickup (whistling).
b) Slider switch for changing harmonic modes.
4 Playing techniques
4.1 Basics
It works easily and effectively. Just hold the Guitar Resonator near the strings in
the neck area. The closer the resonator is, the stronger the string(s) are agitated
by the magnetic field. Feedback start and end points can be easily controlled with
the distance. The best way is to put the Resonator head close, without touching
the strings and to hold the Resonators Head at right angles to the guitar neck.
The blue lights intensity grows depending on the signal that drives the Resonator.
The brightness decreases when the string vibration dies away. Moving the
Resonator closer to the strings amplifies the vibration whereby the brightness
indicates increases in gain. To drive the Resonator sufficiently, the gain at your
guitar should be turned up to maximum. If you like playing with reduced gain this
must be compensated with the gain of the Resonator Box. However, this will
increase the unwanted pickup feedback sensitivity at full guitar volume, so a
reasonable compromise has to be found. The Resonator volume can also be
easily adpated while playing.
4.2 Changing harmonics by phase shifting
Phase shifting allows to switch between feedback harmonics (slider switch at the
Resonator Head).
4.3 Harmonics control by positioning the Resonator
The nice thing is that you get different harmonics depending on the Resonator
Head position along the neck. This is done by moving the guitar neck with your
body or with a direct arm movement. Players with low hanging guitars prefer
moving up the guitar neck to the Resonator (typical Hendrix like position). Players
with higher hanging guitars just need to move their body to the Resonator.
However, the important thing is to position the guitar near enough without
