How can I reduce Acoustic Guitar Pickup feedback and white noise?

Question: How can I reduce Acoustic Guitar Pickup feedback and white noise!?

Hi, i just bought a Dean Markley Pro Mag SC-1 Acoustic Guitar Pickup and when i plugged it into my amp, I heard a large amount of feedback and white noise!. The amp has to be turned up a lot because there are no volume controls on the pickup so this could be contributing to the problem!. I love the sound I'm getting but the constant buzzing is a huge letdown, if there is any way to fix this, or even lessen the sound i wont have to return them!. Thanks so much!Www@QuestionHome@Com
