What pedal has given you the most sustain?

Working on drone things, and just curious what pedals have given you Endless sustain? Trying to move away from/find an alternative to a Rat - it’s been done. Whatcha got?

^^this, but more generally any kind of muff. As much as I kinda hate trying to run a muff with anything else going on in my chain, I keep finding myself throwing them back onto my board every once in awhile because they just sustain for dayz.

No such thing as cheating, but I’m definitely looking more for dirt that continues to interact with guitar and amp while sustaining.

This thing with an EGC just goes on forever and ever and ever and ever. Accountant > fuck/mini is a pretty eternal sound, put some low mix delay afterwards and you've got something that will go a while.

Zoom MS-70CDR. If you stack 5-6 reverbs & delays in series, your guitar signal will become a blooming cloud of lead bricks.

I’ll check out the Accountant. And UGH - EGC baritone will be my next stringed instrument for SURE.

I've only ever owned one Big Muff, the black Russian version. Truth be told, I haven't owned very much of anything "guitar-centric" in the mild overdrive/fuzz/distortion/compressor class of effects, so I have little to go by. But that Muff had plenty of sustain, and it was my favorite pedal for lead tones whenever I did occasionally plug a guitar into it and try to stumble through Mary Had a Little Lamb. I don't know how "cool" the black Russian Muff is considered to be by Muff connoisseurs, but I thought it sounded excellent for long, sustained notes. I tend to like a brighter effect on chords, but it was perfect for single-note lines.

Remembering the sound of it, I really miss having it around, even though I liked it better for guitar than straight ahead noise.

Pre-dirt compressor / sustain pedal is neat. I've only ever had a cheap old DOD fx-80b but it was cool because you didn't really notice that it was on until it got kicked off and your sustaining note disappeared cause it was that lil guy holding onto it.

MAXIMUM VOLUME YIELDS MAXIMUM RESULTS

A maxed Harmonic Percolator first in the chain, with a buffer (EQ is ideal) right behind it.
