Fun Pipe Amp Trick

maybe someone else has posted something similar.....forgive if so...
using a volume pedal with a tuner out-
have the volume pedal after all the dirt, or even the end of the board (whatever works for ya):
plug the pipe amp into the "amp send" so it's controlled by the pedal, and use he tuner out to send the signal to the amp:
you can then bring the pipe amp into the signal chain gradually and by having it right in front of you it creates an ebow feedback type thing that's pretty fukking rad.
you can experiment with using it in different ways, like holding it as an ebow over the pickups, or on a stand aimed at the pickups....whatever.
the pipe amp drives the big amp and becomes a feedback generator of sorts.
mic the big amp.
i used to do this with different small amps and even a zinky little smoky to create controllable feedback/endless sustain in low volumes..or for just weird textures.
demo????? if i get the time i'll pop one up...but a lotta shite is going on over this way and it'll have to wait.
