Re: [Harp-L] Re anti-feedback

I don't know anything about the feedback stomper, but isn't the "hush" 
pedal just a good old "noise gate", which shares no similarity at all to a 
Kinder AFB? I'm just askin', I don't know.

I am of the same opinion as John Potts about the Kinder AFB and tone, but 
there are times that it comes in handy, like when playing with excessively 
loud guitar players, or through unpredictable rented or borrowed amps. JDH

Is it my imagination or does the Feedback Stomper look like remarkably like 
a repackaged and renamed Rocktron Hush Pedal which sells for less than half 
the price?

I have a Hush Pedal which resides in my gig bag. Have used from time to time 
and it does work in some situations however I find it does add a bit of hiss 
and does suck tone, especially affecting delay and reverb.  I found it most 
useful in loud situations. I do not believe it to be true bypass.



In reading the Stomper add, I don't see any claim differentiating from the 
Rocktron pedal. Unless someone has other practical knowledge, I say buyer 
beware!
