Re: Feedback Eaters

[Ron/datadigr <rdg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Robb,

My experience (FWIW) is that only parametric EQ's offer the most
tone-neutral feedback cancellation given that the frequency they
can be set to notch out is _very_ narrow. Mind you--my experience with
the Shark was frustrating--I found it hard to use/understand.
