If it matters -I've got Blackstar HT5h ....
And cranking up the amp can increase susatain ?

This definately not something you find in alot of amps. Normally you need gobs of gain and volume to do this. Agreed that it's a little different amp than the HT-5 though.
I know my head is pretty dense and I get tones of sustain.jerrydyer":2rmx5mzk said:The CCV is one of only a handfull that use a totally different way of creating useable sustain without gain. In fact it dumps some of the voltage to ground. You can hear a good example of it on that vid I just put up the other day. Diegos amp.
If you look at a sin wave of a 2 gain stage amp and a 3 gain stage amp and a 4 gain satge amp, you will see that the purest wave form, with the highs and lows in tact will be the 2 gain stage amp. Thats why a cranked old marshall (2 gain stages) is considered the holy grail for good ole rock n roll. Its kind of described as clean distortion. Hold the line by Toto. Steve has people always asking him to break that amp out. its got the mojo so he keeps it locked away.
PLus,, here comes the arguments. You can take two guys of the same skill level, one of them will have better sustain due to the density of the bones in his hands.. Pretty weird but true. The density of the bones in my hands are different than yours and so on and so on.

And denisity of bones also makes a difference ?Weird ...
I could hold single notes for hours....days...weeks.....months (well maybe)EnGl":2fowhl0s said:I'm guessing that sustain will be longer ... right ?
And what is "tons of sustain" ? I mean - how long sustain , how many secs and what kind of notes ? Single notes or chords ?
I noticed that barre chords have less sustain than single notes.
