I've been trying to figure out the best way to fight feedback. I've thought about getting plugs made, but i hear that it might sacrifice my tone.
What are some of the people doing on these boards to fight feedback from their archtops, and why does your method work for you?

I hear you tm. I really don't have a problem with feedback, mind you I play a laminated guitar. I find that most of the time I'm not playing loud enough to incur feedback. And when I do, I just angle my amp off a little bit. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

In a big band setting, I don't have a problem with it. And like jazzalta2 said, I'm not playing loud enough to get feedback. Our band has 2 guitar players, I play an Epi Joe Pass, the other guy uses a Benedetto, which is a solid carved top, he doesn't get feedback either. Now in a jazz combo situation that gets a bit louder, I see guys using ES-335s and ES-345s and thinline Hofners and such, which are all semi-hollow and therefore much less prone to feed back to begin with.

I never tried or heard anyone use it, BUT LR Baggs makes a little toy called the feedback master which is a small preamp that can attach to a strap if wanted, which gives you the ability to cancel the freguency's that are causing the feedback without hurting the sound to much. They equipment is designed for acoustic guitars, but I don't see why it can't work for anything. Just an idea. Here is a link: www.lrbaggs.com/html/products/preamps_feedbackmaster.shtml |

My understanding is that you can blow up a common balloon through one of the sound holes and that will greatly reduce the problem without affecting the sound. Easy to try and if it doesn't work, you're only a pin prick away from changing it back!
