D'Addario

Description

The Screeching Halt provides effective feedback prevention for amplified performances, allowing guitarists to play confidently at higher volumes. For any acoustic guitarist gigging with a band, feedback is an unavoidable obstacle—until now. Simply pop the pliable Screeching Halt into your acoustic's soundhole and experience greatly reduced feedback. It's crafted to adapt to most standard 4" soundholes without damaging your instrument's finish or requiring any modification. Brought to you by the trusted experts at D'Addario, the Screeching Halt is an affordable, no-fuss solution to taming feedback and enhancing your stage presence.

Slip It In and Crank It Up

The Screeching Halt's tapered, flexible design allows for quick installation and removal without tools or adjustments. Its soft rubber insert creates a tight seal, securely fitting most acoustic guitars and staying firmly in place during performances. However, the Screeching Halt is gentle enough to not harm your guitar's finish or inlays. Once installed, you'll enjoy playing at increased volume through your pickup system without runaway feedback. For acoustic guitarists wanting to rock louder and prouder, the Screeching Halt makes it happen.

Road-Ready and Budget-Friendly

As a hardworking guitarist, you need gear that can handle the rigors of performing and touring. The Screeching Halt is built to last, with a durable rubber construction, and it conveniently slips into your guitar case for transport and storage. Best of all, it's available at an affordable price—because controlling feedback shouldn't break the bank. For a high-quality, feedback-fighting solution to rely on gig after gig, grab a Screeching Halt.

Yes I recommend this for feedback. and practice.

I did not buy this sound cover for feedback alone! Yes it will take care of any feedback on stage. But the best feature is how it turns down the overall volume of my acoustic's so I can practice late into the night and not bother those that have chosen to call it a night.

Stay away unless you like black marks on your guitar.

This product will stop feedback in your acoustic guitar. It will also mark it terribly with black marks as it wears away with every strum. Want happy finding black marks on my Rosette are I used this product. I have an original feedback busy that's easy older and it's never worn a bit.

    Item works as intended. Cuts feedback to almost nothing. Was able to turn my amplifier louder due to efficacy.
