I think I tried this once when I had my Chk Chk Boom. Didn't work out that great for me. Dunno.

I always prefer a FUZZ with a feedback loop stomp than a feedback loop pedal.
The AB-Synth is awesome.

Can't really generalize when it comes to pedals in a feedback loop.
But in my experience, dirt pedals tend to just self-oscillate, METALZ DISTORTIN' style pedals are the most "precise" and boring-sounding to me. They are lasers.
Team Awesome and the AB-Synth ROAR. They are flammenwerfers.
Supa-Chan coughed up an average-sounding annoying tone.

No, no they are not...

You gotta modulate and caress yo feedback loop till it sings you sweet and luscious tones that will respond to your gentle loveliness and sing the praises of your manhood in a Holy and Grateful way...

Overdrives will not act accordingly...

Not safe to generalize any type of effect in a feedback loop. I have had lots of fun with a Danelectro Pastrami Overdrive and MXR Classic Overdrive in a feedback loops. Nice oscillating fuzz tones, but not over the top so they were useable. However other overdrives just provided oscillation with not much control over how much guitar came through.
