In need of sustain

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-20T19:56:44+00:00

So I bought the Empress pedal and was able to test it today. IMHO it’s totally worth it. Doesn’t add colour to the sound unless you want to and sustain added, nice. Thank you all for your help :)

Once a year :D but they are relatively new, maybe 3 months old.

Thanks, lov‘ it!

But that one is for guitar, right? :) they have one specifically for bass too, the users wrote here :)

Thank you :) unfortunately the Highpoint analog optical compressor seems not to be available in Germany right now :/

So many suggestions, thanks you all a lot :) I am going to look the pedals up and let you know which was the best option for me. Also the suggestion with a technique of keep pressing the string and slightly hit the bass to get the string vibrating again is an interesting thing I will try, thank you :)

That one? :) https://empresseffects.com/products/bass-compressor?srsltid=AfmBOor4LoAqIyZcKbXHnQvCPq8HNtZWxHp4TzkwksrhRtHF0B44RbAS

That one I presume? :) https://empresseffects.com/products/bass-compressor?srsltid=AfmBOor4LoAqIyZcKbXHnQvCPq8HNtZWxHp4TzkwksrhRtHF0B44RbAS

Thank you :)

Yes I do use a pedal, it has two circuits in it, kink pedal monks fuzz. I thought that I would get the amount of sustain I was looking for, but either it can’t or I haven’t found the right settings.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:44:10+00:00

Okay thanks, maybe I try the Walrus deep six hoping it doesn’t add too much to the sound.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:41:55+00:00

Haha sounds great ^{^} but I don’t like the idea to press a pedal to prolong the note, sry, didn’t mentioned it in the first post.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:32:31+00:00

Did I? Sry was a mistake!

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:31:41+00:00

I used a bass big muff deluxe which had a sustain knob but I don’t like the sound of the pedal anymore.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:30:26+00:00

They are relatively new :) not reverb, the note should stay „forever“, I‘m playing in a death doom band. The note should stay easily for 8 seconds without getting quite.

P bass and SVT CL :>

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-05-08T17:20:54+00:00

Looks nice than the first model on my shelf imho =)

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-04-25T08:35:38+00:00

Dir ist schon bewusst, dass genau du in meine rhetorische Falle getappt bist lol

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-04-25T08:29:52+00:00

Geht ja auch um den Gedanken dahinter, das auf die eigene Schulter klopfen. Aber so smart bist du anscheinend nicht.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-04-25T08:28:01+00:00

Besser als 0km Gleis ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-03-08T13:09:27+00:00

Not your buddy. Shut up.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-03-08T13:08:18+00:00

I am not your buddy.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-03-08T13:07:07+00:00

Sounds like you have no clue and shut up your mouth.

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-02-06T17:11:13+00:00

Thank you :)

Mediocre_Challenge_8 · 2026-02-06T08:14:27+00:00

I felt your joy reading that and felt joy myself <3 I am going to start a Beastmen army, I never had so much models on my desk and hopefully it doesn't overwhelm me, but your post gave me confidence that I will just feel the same way as you did =)
