Sustain

Sustain effects pedals are guitar pedals that are designed to enhance the sustain of a guitar’s sound by increasing the length of time that the notes or chords played on the guitar will sustain or ring out. These pedals can be used to add a sense of depth and richness to a guitar’s sound, and are often used to achieve a more expressive or emotional playing style.

There are a variety of different types of sustain pedals available, ranging from simple boost pedals that increase the volume and sustain of the guitar’s signal, to more complex pedals that use various techniques to alter the signal and create specific sustain and tone shaping effects. Some common techniques used in sustain pedals include using compression or limiting to sustain notes longer, using filters or EQ to shape the tone of the sustained notes, and using artificial harmonics or other techniques to create more complex sustain effects.
