Pigtronix Philosopher King, but it requires 18V and is absolutely huge. I use an Accountant for compression and sustain.

The Dirge Even Anguish is really sick for ridiculous sustain. I need another Acountant to push it with.Zounds Perspex wrote:Interesting! I love the HP sound.rustywire wrote:A maxed Harmonic Percolator first in the chain, with a buffer (EQ is ideal) right behind it.

I want one so bad. An accountant and an EA actually. Ugh.

I tend to find that sustain is more guitar-dependent than anything else, but the Boss FZ-2, various big muff versions and LED clipping Rats will sustain for days.

Re: What pedal has given you the most sustain?
I keep thinking I don't have a muff variation but that is not true. I do! I have a metal muff and when I last played it (in 2014?) I remember thinking I was SUNN O))). I don't remember if it sounded good but the note just wouldn't end!!GardenoftheDead wrote:various big muff versions

Nah JK. I may actually buy a metal muff as you can literally get them for 50 bucks and it has a frequency selectable top boost. That seems like it's worth a look.

When in doubt, more volume. You can always fake sustain with feedback.

Reminding me once again that the Digitech Freqout exists and I've seen remarkably few of them but this could be a good answer to the original question.GardenoftheDead wrote:When in doubt, more volume. You can always fake sustain with feedback.

Yeah, def on both counts. This is why the HP is so good at scratching that itch, esp with max settings.GardenoftheDead wrote:When in doubt, more volume. You can always fake sustain with feedback.
