Members jw112 Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 which Compressor has the most Sustain? i've tried: keeleydyna4 different behringersand a Tone press some of these sounded good but did not add much sustain. i played a Boss on display at GC and it had great sustain. But the sound quality was not great. i'm thinking about getting a Humphrey's modded Boss or a wampler compressor. any advise for which pedal to get for max sustain? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wheeler004 Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 orange squeezer and clones (like analogman's juicer) has pretty good sustain and "squash" when turned up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members huskerjohn Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 CMATMODS signa comp has a good bit of sustain. It has more than my keeley comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HistoricR0 Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 I don't have much experience with compressors - the Marshall ED-1 is the only one I've owned. It does have great range in its controls, is quiet, and set right gives a great amount of sustain with only moderate squash and almost no loss of tone. It's also very quiet until turned up to very squishy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Secret Seasons Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 the new mad professor forest green comp has a "sustain" switch on it, haven't played it personally yet (sticking with my PGC) but I'd imagine it does what it says it does.... and well.

Members WWW Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 what guitar do you use? A compressor will only do so much with what you are giving it This guy's got it right. There are many more things that affect sustain besides the sustain knob on a compressor pedal. Fwiw, I've never tried a single compressor where the sustain knob cranked made me go "whoa!".

Members spentron Posted November 16, 2008 Members Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well I have. dbx 160X rack unit. Needs a preamp to work right w/ guitar but you can even set reverse ratio so playing louder makes the sound get quieter. Still no effect on the high end except as apparent due to the change of dynamics. It can be like playing through distortion. Also Yamaha GEP50. Digital. It can delay the audio to allow the envelop time to work. ADA MP1. Nominally a tube preamp but the SS channel compresses like crazy and has programmable tone controls. Best pedal I've heard yet is the Dano Surf & Turf. Retains high end. Preset fast attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
