they're feedback busters. They stop your guitar from feeding back when you're plugged in and playing loud. They're cheap and effective.

prevents ambient noise from getting to the amp (strings buzzing, etc), it makes a loud screeching noise.. very popular in hard rock.

Play a mic out of a speaker and mic that speaker and you will hear what feedback sounds like. :lol:

great for live performances, meaning you can really raise the volume in the floor wedge without getting that evil sound
