Sustain Shaman™
Clean sustain is the Holy Grail for a guitar player. Most Compressor
pedals on the market are a rehash of a classic compromised design
from the 70’s. Rivera has started with a completely new and
studio quality design-costly analog circuitry and components,
with gobs of headroom, super low-noise, and with sustain
that can hold your notes for what feels like infinity. With
two channels of accurate envelope tracking and control,
you can adjust for the dynamics of what instrument you
are playing-say single coil versus humbucker, as well as
what style-to achieve two lead sounds, or a rhythm and a
lead setting. A SuperSust™ switch will take you even further on
channel B. With a Tone control to adjust the EQ balance, and a blend
control to add just the right amount of compression effect depth, setting
up for your personal sound is easy. Playing rhythm guitar and needing to
hold the level, as in R&B licks is a great complement to the ability to have
long clean sustained leads. Like all Rivera Shaman™ pedals, you can use
a 9V battery or an AC adaptor. Add sustain to your music with our Sustain
Shaman™ pedal.
It’s easy to pile a lot of gain into a preamp, but very difficult to take that and make it stable and dynamically responsive. Very few amp designers do this trick as well as Paul Rivera.-Guitarist Magazine-Nick Guppy
