Blue Cat Audio - AcouFiend

AcouFiend is Blue Cat Audio's acoustic feedback simulator: that singing, screaming sustain you get from standing close to a loud amp, available at bedroom volume or on headphones, and under complete control.

Feedback on demand

Real Larsen feedback is wonderful when it behaves and a nightmare when it doesn't. AcouFiend lets you decide when and how it kicks in on sustained notes or chords, choose which harmonic it blooms into, set how fast it rises and falls, and limit which notes are allowed to feed back. You can even transpose the feedback for harmonies, and automate or MIDI-control the lot.

Where it fits

Lead guitar in rock and metal, of course, but it's not just for guitars: put it on a synth lead or a sustained vocal for some unexpected textures. Zero latency, so it's playable in real time.
