When used in conjunction with the tremolo system, it spit out a Scooby-Doo diving into the nearest potted plant. A separate level control governs the effect’s overall intensity.įar from sounding gimmicky, the Sustainer system sounds downright incredible. The third setting mixes harmonics with the fundamental note for a rich, complex tone similar to controlled, harmonized feedback. The first setting simply sustains the fretted note and works well for clean swells and chordal textures, while the second setting produces harmonics often an octave higher and excels at stratospheric, violin-like leads. The tone can be modified with the second switch, which has settings for standard, harmonic and mix.

When switched on, the system uses a battery-powered electromagnet to vibrate the strings, much like an E-Bow system does.

The Sustainer transducer is actually one half of the neck pickup and is activated by two small switches.

While the humbuckers crank out respectable clean and rock sounds, it’s the sustainer that promotes tongue-lolling astonishment.
