5 Steps to Fix Singer-Guitarist Feedback

Turn down your guitar amp first Most feedback problems come from the amp being too loud on stage, not the monitor mix. The amp bleeds into the vocal mic, creating a feedback loop.

Angle the amp away from the mic Point the amp so it is not aimed at the front of the vocal mic. This immediately reduces the feedback path.

Build the monitor mix starting with vocals Cut everything below 100Hz and scoop around 200-400Hz, where feedback builds. Boost around 2-4kHz for vocal clarity.

Add guitar to the monitor only after vocals are stable If you need more guitar in the wedge, add it after the vocal mix is solid. Never prioritize guitar over voice.

Use clean mic technique and consider in-ears Do not cup the grille and stay on-axis. If the wedge still causes problems, a cheap set of in-ear monitors will solve it completely.
