It burned me. Feedback is hot. I've been thinking of redesigning it using a technique, that doesn't burn me, or blow out my amps. I think I'd still prefer to just crank up the amp. The magnetic fields produced by nearly any device are far to large to affect a single pickup, unless of course you only turn on one pickup. To get decent, and controlled feedback, I had to have the device, nearly up at the top of the neck of the guitar. I bet it's something that could be done decently through some simple circuitry instead, I've actually been thinking of going to night school to learn about chip design. I'm pretty sure there's a market for custom designed pedals and electronics for guitars. Who knows. In my original experimentation I had the most radical Fred Wirth on my side. You should go find him, and ask him about your device. I'm sure he could give you a 30 second answer that would make you feel foolish, and in awe all at the same time.

That's why nonmagnetized magnetic materials like ferrous ones are attracted to magnets. I think. I find it odd, though. I wondered about that myself.

Is that right? In the image you posted here, it almost looks like the north and south on the guitar string are in the same orientation as the magnet. Is that right?
