Sustainer pedal?

[CBGB]

Does anyone know of a pedal which does what an E-bow does or what the Fernandes Sustainer pickups do... only in pedal form?

[Gunner Recall]

The pigtronix attack/sustain I guess? Claims to do some of the things you mentioned.

Also, the HOG has a Freeze mode which can do this. Of course the HOG is crazy expensive.

Oh wait, doesn't the Boss DF-2 do this in its "feedbacker" mode? Crap, I know I saw one on someone's board around here lately, I think it was Aen.

EDIT: Here's a youtube demo of the DF-2, is this what you want?

someone should build a clone of that sonuvabitch
with no irritating volume drop problem and a better distortion

because I want one but with those problems and idiotic OMG VINTAGE BOSS PEDALLLL ebay auctions going dumbly high every time I try to buy somebody's beaten-to-death DF-2 Id rather get a newer, nicer pedal.

guy I knew got a DF-2 in a pawnshop for like 20 bucks or something
then moved away before I could try to steal it

I have a pigtronix attack sustain that I'm looking to get rid of, it can do swells as well as sustain, along with crazy decays.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The DF-2 is a cool pedal - but I'm really looking for sustain-control over any tone, not just a distorted one.

I tried out the Pigtronix Attack Sustain - glad I did, because I really wasn't convinved by it at all. To me, the Attack and the Decay functions were dull, the distortion was cheezy, and you could only approximate the sustain thing. And it's expensive too.

I have a boss cs-3 compression sustainer...I think it's kinda useless, but one can get infinite sustain from it.

[Gunner Recall]

honestly i've never been sold on any pigtronix stuff...good you tried it first.
(though the mothership might be fun to screw around with)

Ive got the Attack Sustain, no its wont make your guitar magically sound like you have an ebow (Tho in conjuction with a D-l4's swell delay it WILL) but its a great pedal nonetheless. you can get some pretty incredible tremolo, choppy sounds, and you can blend the clean signal with a delayed distortion... It's petty versatile in fact! Those "E bow" claims don't really do it any justice. It's also pretty sensible to imput, so, if your pick ups arent so hot, try putting a 33 in front of it or some sort of clean boost, it sounds DRAMATICALLY better then.

The Hog's hold function is fun as fuck, but it's a different beast all together.
