Title: Supa Sustain works...
Post by: Thomas P. on September 01, 2003, 09:41:37 AM

at least I think so since I've never played or heared an original :?
I'm useing 2N3904's with a gain between 40-50. I guess I'll have to try other LED/LDR combinations to see what kind of difference there is.

For the first test I played through a SS-amp and I can't say if it sustains a single note or if it just gives a clean boost. Anyway the solo from 'Shine on you crazy diamond' sounds good, though :wink:

As I read in an old Colorsound cataloge it is supposed to give a sustain without distorting the signal - this makes me think that I'm near to what it's supposed to do :wink:

I've had original ones and they do distort the clean signal...they're really more of an overdrive boost than a compressor...
