A feedback eliminator will probably get it a bit louder, but if you are on
the edge already it wont do much good. They are great for when a mic is
hand held, and you never know where it's going to be pointed next (usually
straight into a monitor), but not so good when they are hunting all
the time. The more the feedback eliminator is working, the weirder it'l
sound.

That is why feedback eliminators should be set and forget devices. Don't
leave them hunting for feedback during a show as the sound will gradually
get worse.

I have terrible memories of a long note during a flute solo suddenly
disappearing from the mix entirely because of an FBX unit. Have had similar
things with electric guitars as well.

The one exception for this is for people with lav mikes. When people are
wandering around with a lav mike, the feedback modes move around with them
and the floating filters can be very handy. Don't EVER use the floating filters
on musical content, though.
