Looking for a fuzz that...

As you hold a note out it sustains into a harmonic feedback.

Anything?

What about one of those boss feedbackers, like the booster, in conjunction with one of your fuzzies?

Take whatever your favorite fuzz pedal is, then put a Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone after it and crank the sustain and blend knobs. I've gotten to sustain a fretted note for at least 20-30 seconds, and open strings can be sustained basically forever. The track I did for the talkbass noise comp was just a single sustained open string run through a crapload of effects, and it lasted over 5 minutes.

Team Awesome Fuzz Machine feedback is BEST FEEDBACK.

With my lace sensor blue pickup I get that sort of feedback with every non-gated fuzz/distortion I use.

EDIT: Once I get past the first verse in this I let some notes sustain out and they turn into harmonics that i can bend with the vibrato arm of my mustang. Is that sort of what you're looking for? https://soundcloud.com/pumpkinpieces/to-sheila

I like to get this effect using the Fairfield Four Eyes with the Q (filter resonance) set to 100 and the FREQ (frequency band) set to taste.

Yeah this shit. This pedal is impressive as hell.

Alot of fuzzes can do that, but it depends on your amp and positioning too. Also, how long do you want to wait for the feedback?

In my experience, the Skreddy Ernie was the most reliable and consistent for this type of effect. But, if you want it to be really fast and consistent, your best bet is to just use a Boss feedbacker.

Also it starts in the guitar itself

even not plugged in you can get those with a good guitar

How is the sustain on this thing? Compared to a muff?

Haven't been able to try one, but they seem very usable. You tested one?

Dude, how would you feel about me using that song, or one of your others for a part in a skate video I'm making?

Only briefly at a store, but it was a lot of fun. The non-latching switch has a lot of possibility for expression while playing, and the boost with EQ sound cool and I imagine are very useful.
