I can get pretty much any note to bloom and sustain with relatively low gain. 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.![]()
Yes you will probably have a natural increase in sustain with increased volume, partially in due to the ability to reflect feedback. Also, generally as marginally increase volume, you will lower gain a bit as the power tubes start to break-up.EnGl":1cr16mob said:mmm , i ste my gain max to 7/10 , and it sounds ok.
So , when I'm gonna crank my volume upe i can recieve a bit more sustain ?
And what is CCV ?

Qweklain":2kllk15x said:When it comes to the sustain of a guitar, there are so many variable it is impossible to give a definitive answer on that. The quality of woods, construction of the guitar, pickups, fret material, and the list going on. Generally speaking, neck-through will have better sustain than bolt-on or set-neck. Also, yes, a longer scale can affect sustain as well. All of that general information though is nothing if the guitar is built with shoddy wood and bad craftsmanship.
I'm sorry, but it has been proven ages ago that this is pure BS.Qweklain":3scg0k22 said:Generally speaking, neck-through will have better sustain than bolt-on or set-neck.

I don't have long sustain on barre chords , on single notes is ok .
So, which amp have "the best" sustain ? I mean all the current production. And of course - available in most shops.
Sustain is a positive feedback loop. When the Guitar's signal and amp-speaker output vibrate in sympathy. Amps with low IMD (Intermodulation distortion) will generally produce clear and rich harmonic feedback. Low IMD amps also produce clear sounding chords.EnGl":1qcmhbap said:But why ? How it can be possible ?
Can someone explain me it in scientific way ?
Those are cool amps for what they are, but may not have enough power to get a feedback loop going.EnGl":tabmrshh said:Thank you guys , you are awesome .
As i mentioned before - I've got a HT5h and I'm unsatisfied with sustain , "on dry" my guitar sustains loooonger.
So I'm little confused about that ...
So "high end" amp have more sustain ?
Or in other way - Which amps have long sustain ? Marshall JCM 800 2203 or ENGL Fireball ( both new) will be ok ?

Most new guitars prices under $500 have lower quality components leading to less sustain.
Barre chords will sustain less than single notes, there is less pressure and "human contact density" on the barred notes than a single note.
In general, the amps you hear that sound great and sustain forever are a combination of:
being played/recorded at high volume
cost over $1,000
custom or modded amps
If you want an amp that sustains for days, contact any of the guys here on Rig-Talk that build and mod amps.
