Fernandes Sustainer Artists




Joe-Barresi
Plays great, feels great, and has so much sustain you can go out, have a bite, come back, and you’d STILL be hearing it.

this is were you do it and this forum post thingy doesn't like the short version link (http://youtu.be/xxxxxxx) it wants the long version(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxx) or the part after the = sign ... I usually use the part after the = sign I played with the link you used and got it to work with jmkRHo4Vca4

you may need to roll off you tone knob all the way on the guitar as well...

here is a preset the singtall made for me that I severely screwed with (up) adding lots of compression that has that creamy tone thing working and I use it with hammer on , pull off legato stuff and it sounds cool to me.

The ebow or sustainer is a good possibility as part of the sound. The ebow looks like a cool thing to try out someday.

after a bit of digging i found this youtube clip

check out around 2:10 the sound there i think is the basis of what your trying to get. along with some modulation and echo etc etc

but all in all its a pretty avant garde rig pretty specific to the tool sound.

hope this helps

The swell and the textural thing that sticks out to me is what makes me suspect the use of an ebow.. the way the notes swell to volume sounds exactly like what happens when you take an ebow and put it on the strings near the bridge pup and slide it towards the neck.. also I can hear the rattle of the ebow on the strings in the texture of the tone.. if you're just a smidge too heavy handed with that thing on the strings.. the string as they're being driven in the magnetic field .. they swell to a certain speed in vibration.. the wide oscillation of the string cause it to rattle against the bottom of the ebow itself.
