I'm just used to having a few settings like that, so I tend to be damping the strings and standing in the right place to control the whistle from the pickups.
I'm guessing Dan Auerbach does the same.

[Just looked at some Black Keys live footage, note how he has his amps turned away from his guitar. I'd have to do this if I was using a semi-acoustic.]
