Members Karma1 Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've got a guitar equipped with a Sustainiac and I love what it does. I'd like to get that effect with my other guitars and I was told that the Philosopher's Tone can give that infinite sustain like a Sustainiac. Anybody here use one and have anything to say about that? (I've also used Ebows for years and I like them, but it's not quite the same being limited to one string at a time.)

Members mhuxtable Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 No you will not get INFINITE sustain with a compressor pedal. I've ownd the PT and it's a great and versatile compressor, but nothing can make your string vibrate infinitely aside from a magnetic source or your hand. The infinite sustain thing comes fro the fact that at extreme compression, the PT can make your notes ring out for extra long amounts of time. But it is not actually infinite....

Members sparkfriction Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 "INFINITE" or not.. the Philosopher's Tone does the trick... imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the.red.hill Posted April 2, 2011 Members Share Posted April 2, 2011 What they said. I have a guitar with the Sustainiac, as well an ebow and the PT. You can get a great deal more sustain with the PT, but nothing like the ebow or Sustainaic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
