no, not at all:
the sustainer's raison d'etre is to drive the strings, whereas the 
feedback-loop's purpose is to drive ***itself***..... no traditional 
*instrument* need be involved.

to 
set thisall up, and you'll see how no traditional musical instrument is 
necessary:
the loop is, itself, the instrument.....
