Sustain & OD..which pedal?

[stbhorn]

I'm looking for a OD pedal that will give me lots of sustain, but not fuzzy or extreme volume for single not runs.

your sustain is maybe 1% miscellaneous things (like amp and volume) and 99% playing technique and setup. with proper technique (like knowing how to hold notes witout choking them off by using to much pressure) and a proper setup (if you're pickups aren't in the right positiion vertically then nothing is going to help you) it won't matter what volume or what pedal you're using.

So are you saying I need to raise my pickups closer to my strings?? I'm using single coil pup, btw...

possibly, you'd have to check your pickups documentation to see what the best range is for them. if they're too far away, then the magnetic field is too weak and won't pick up all the vibrations. if they're too close, then the magnetic field physically pulls the strings down towards the pickups which also kills the vibrations. mess around in that optimum range, and you'll find the sweet spot.

That pedal is the Lovepedal Eternity - it has the most sustain I have experienced in an overdrive. You can use it for that searing overdrive or back it off but it always was great for that characteristic.
