Ok so how many of you use your cab position relative to you and your guitar to get more sustain/feedback for general practice at home and not just for special recordings or live moments?

Today I was doing just some random playing and I went to hit a note on the end of a solo from a song and I noticed that the note died on my really soon so I was like wtf  :dunno: ??? Since I was playing thru my general rhythm preset I went ahead and maxed out the gain just be happy that the note sustained but guess what IT DIDNT  :crazy: :crazy: After trying it out a couple of times and checking what was going on I thought "let me raise the volume, maybe the tubes are not getting that much work", so I tried it and still died on me  :???: :???: :???: So then I sait to myself "OK if I face the cab it should work"... and it did! But I knew that will get it to work but what I didn't expect was that I went ahead and played it again with the gain and volume back to normal but this time facing the cab and guess what the note kept sustaining just as before!!!

So here is my dilema, should I take this allways in consideration and rearrange my room so that I can face the amp allways when practicing (actually it looks like if I turn 180 degrees and have the amp totally in my back works too) and not have the amp at an angle relative to my guitar so I can use this?

Never had that problem, I have only ever encountered this when there was something wrong with my guitar or the noise gate/reduction was set to high.

Not really sure what you mean in your actual question

For me it doesn't matter where I am playing.  The only time the proximity of where I am in relation to my cabs is when I'm playing at mega loud levels in rehearsal or live and the only difference is I can get a lot more feedback in places which of course can be used to sustain notes.  I find it easy to get feedback though, just take my hands of the string and stand close to the cabs.

Well is not exactly sustain but a feedback that makes that note sustain... I think I solved it by turning up the amp a bit louder.

Well if it's feedback you are after then yes it's all about volume.  Bedroom levels usually aren't ideal (depends on how loud you are aloud to play at home  :lol:)
