So at last nights gig, we are on our set closer, the dance floor is rammed and plenty of jumping, singing and good times. 'End of the world' by REM is a good closer and there is a pause, towards the end where the band drops out and the vocals (2) start up again. I usually hold the G shape and get the guitar to feedback under the vocals while the drummer is hitting the bass drum beat.
Since getting my Les Paul I have struggled to get it to feedback- and last night, crouched next to the amp, I didn't get a bloody squeak!
What are your tips to get feedback (in tune) when you need it?

Also, it's capable of everything from subtle to massive boost, either flat or with a mid-hump, and with judicious fiddling can replace a TS or TS-type pedal. It's a bit fiddly cos there's a lot of power on tap and a tiny turn of the controls makes a big difference in sound.

With my Angry Charlie plus a compressor I can get pretty much infinite sustain on any note and muting is needed to stop unwanted notes/strings kicking off.
