I'm assuming you have an acoustic-electric- music stores sell a round rubber/plastic piece that fits in the soundhole and helps with the feedback- make sure it fits your soundhole. Also, if you have a good preamp/amp/PA, there should be a notch filter to help. Finally if the guitar's set up for it, you can blend your under-saddle piezo and/or soundhole pickup- I use a three-way pickup setup(mic, under-saddle piezo and soundhole) and with a little tweaking on the blend at the preamp, I have no problems- Also, a good cheap pickup setup is at www. acousticpreamps.com - Good Luck!
All of the old guitars had hummbucking pickups and of course all of the new ones too.
The hummbucking pickups kept the feedback down and has no echo effect. If your guitar has only a microphone pickup I can only suggest to replace it with a hummbucker!
don't turn it up so loud
