I am told that there are one or two makes/models of graphic EQ's that have illuminated led's, one above each frequency channel, that illuminate when that channel starts causing feedback. That would make the task of 'ringing out' a lot quicker/easier for live band work. Any recommendations, please Guys ?

You are much better off download one of the many smartphone apps that can give you a visual spectrum. Ive never seen a graphic eq worth using with such indicators...

Behringer DEQ1024 worked okay. Is actually a digital eq with a graphical interface - so sounded a lot better than their budget analogue graphics. seem to go for about £60 on ebay.

Ok, so I have had a look on the 'net for a hardware solution and there appear to be three likely candidates : Art HQ231 graphic eq and feedback eliminator, DBX AFS2 feedback eliminator and Klark Teknik DF 1000 automatic feedback suppressor. Anyone had experience with any of these, please ?

AudioTools by Studio Six is a good little phone app.

The ART HD231 and Peavey Q231fx work reasonable well for the intended purpose, any kind of AFS device that doesn't have a visual display won't be nearly as useful. The thing to realize with feedback suppression is that there are still limits to what can be done, once you get past 3-4 cuts you will be approaching the limits of potential GBF so it's not really helpful to have 15-20 filters active it just hacks away too much of the signal. The ultimate solution is a digital mixer with RTA display, with that even if it doesn't have an AFS system you can see and apply a notch filter at offending frequencies.

My recommendation would be to stop looking for feedback suppressors, and figure out why you're having problems with feedback at all. Cheap mics and badly deployed speakers are common causes. A decent mic (Sennheiser e935, for example) will go a long way towards avoiding feedback. Chris
