I want to get more sustain from my MESA Roadster head and 4x12 Std Recto rig. Would a compressor help? if so which model?
One point I want to make is that using the same guitar on the bridge pickup, I can get tremendous sustain (although the tone sux) when playing metal with either a Digitech GNX3000 modeller thru a combo amp or a roland cube-30 pratice amp. Just touch the strings with either and it rings for days. The roadster just seems stiff and notes die relatively quickly even on channel 3 or 4 with the gain around 2:00 (this is with no effects just guitar plugged in and reverb on).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
