Without Feedback Rock 'N Roll Would Not Exist!

Truer words have not been spoken! :awe:

Discuss!

As I'm warming the voice coils with King Crimson's 'Heavy ConstruKction', the bass is twisting my ears and waving my hair around! Life is good!

Sitting next to the throat of these 18" scoops (3kW power each) is kind of turning me on!

R&R? The marathon series?

Tuning over, time to get back to work.
House music can be lame but it's better than listening to the gentle buzz of thyristor dimmers.

And it was actually Pete Townsend, not Jimmy Hendrix who was the first to use feedback on the guitar.

Maybe. But the Beatles were the first to use feedback intentionally in recording was on "I Feel Fine" in 1965.

Well, if it were not for underpowered amps, rock music probably wouldn't exist. Back in the 50's, bands would have to play to whole rooms with a 20W amp, and a lot of times it wasn't loud enough. Since vacuum tubes powered amps exclusively back then, you tended to get distortion when you cranked the volume all the way up. This originally was not desirable, but it couldn't be helped.

Now we couldn't imagine rock without distortion...the more the better

And now you know the rest of the story....

Neither would vibrators. And without vibrators vacuum tubes in portable radios would not be possible. (amongst other things!)
