Phil O'Keefe Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I own one - what would you like to know? It's a cool pedal. A bit like a Boss SG-1 Slow Gear, but it can actually do a lot more on top of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Supreme Pancake Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 I own one as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aaland_brian Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 I own one as well and think it's a great pedal. Does volume swells, sustainer and tremolo type sounds. I think there are some vids of it on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjackson92 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 is the sustain feature like the fernandes sustainer pickups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members desertlimosine Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 is the sustain feature like the fernandes sustainer pickupsIt actually doesn't add any sustain, only takes it away. Kind of weird, but thats how you get the tremolo sounds, the signal is constantly trying to act like a shut off switch, turning it into an awesome, stuttery trem. So don't think this thing is going to give you infinite sustain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftystratman Posted March 21, 2008 Members Share Posted March 21, 2008 I own one, too, and this is the most versatile pedal I've ever owned. despite the size and the dedicated power adapter, this will stay on my board for a long long time. this pedal and a phaser, you can almost get very close to the Moog Murf which I used to own, not anymore.

I beg to differ, there is even a setting in the instruction book called lead sustain. quote from website:The Attack Sustain is a far reaching evolution of the sought after, Electro Harmonix Attack Decay. For lovers of the Boss Slow Gear, Ebow and/or Fernandes Sustainer pickup, this is the ultimate pedal.

Phil O'Keefe Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 No, it won't sustain indefinitely like an Ebow, but it does have compression capabilities, and can definitely be set to increase sustain if you so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the compression on there is pretty sweet, along with the Harmonic distortion stuff. Running my bass through it, I can get some nice cello sounds with a hint of Harmonic distortion, and the swell. The trem stuff reminds me so much of old repeat percussion/spacemen3 type sounds. Really cool pedal for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Running my bass through it... I actually use mine as much for bass as I do for guitar - it's a great pedal for a bassist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aaland_brian Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 Me too, all the pigtronix stuff is great on bass. I can't wait for the mothership to land soon, it looks amazing and I think will be a EHX microsynth killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjackson92 Posted March 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 what the deal with the harmonic stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Supreme Pancake Posted March 22, 2008 Members Share Posted March 22, 2008 Mine sustains quite well, and I usually use it with clean tones. It doesn't sustain like a ebow but it sounds much more natural then a ebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
