In the corner of my basement I have all of my "ukulele stuff" set up to play with. I have a Kustom PA-50 on a stand. I have an old Marshall ten watt guitar amp that I bought at t garage sale. I have a Vox Mini 3. This is what it looks like.
Right at this moment, the only thing hooked up is the Kustom amp. The uke is plugged in to it and the microphone. I get a lot of feedback. I think it is from the microphone, as it goes away when I turn the volume down on it. And it works just fine. I balance the two, then adjust the volume with the master. But the thing is, I just get a lot of feedback on all three. I can usually turn down the gain on the Vox or the Marshall and everything is fine, but I wonder what causes feedback? In layman terms that is. Any tips out there to help avoid it? I might add that there is a Kindle attached to the microphone stand as well. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it. Also I have accumulated lots of cables and they end up on the floor. I don't know if stray cables cause any of it either.
On another note, I keep trying to hook the Marshall up to the Kustom and point it back toward me so that I can hear what is going the other direction. That is not working as I had hoped that it would. All I get is feedback. Again, I can't get my head too deep into it, I'm not good at scurrying down rabbit holes.
