T-Rex Tonebug Compressor Sustainer Pedal

Right back to Hendrix and Carlos Santana, sustain has been a cornerstone of the classic rock sound, along with distortion, reverb and delays and modulation effects. The aim has always been to keep a good thing going - letting a single note, chord or even feedback tone play on, and on, and on... Guitarists have used different methods for achieving that violin-like sustain effect - from holding their guitar up close to their amp, to using complicated neck-mounted contraptions to generate feedback along the strings.

Now, T-Rex has put it all in a single, easy-to-use pedal.

Compression + gain = T-Rex sustain

The T-Rex Sustainer gives you a gorgeous, natural-sounding sustain effect for soloing, long-lasting power chords or soaring feedback effects. It's a simple pedal that works by first compressing and limiting the signal from your guitar, and then applying gain to keep your tone playing.

For T-Rex, music always starts with you - the unique, individual, one-of-a-kind sound you get from your guitar, amp and effects. So they've made sure that Sustainer preserves your tone while sustaining it, without adding artificial colouring.
