Mark,
There's an "effects loop" in the Sustainiac Model C for just exactly
this sort of thing. The loop only affects the signal fed back into
your instrument, so you can put in filters (Maniac Music mentions
that a wah pedal works well) or delays in order to better
control/manipulate the resonant frequency of the feedback.
Actually a rather nice little bit of kit. I've got one I use on my
Chapman Stick (some weird caveats there) and really like it.
