Hi Tom,

I'm working through the "Pretending" tutorial. I have a 2016 American Standard Stratcaster (US Made) with humbucker in the bridge position running through a Peavey 6505MH tube amp. I notice in the video that the sustain you get out of your rig is considerably longer than mine. Is this an effect of the RMC Wah-wah pedal, the Boss GS-10 or something else I'm missing ?

Thank You.

Hi Marc, I would say the sustain I am getting is mostly from the high gain setting on the GS-10. The Wah isn't really adding to sustain but coloring the tone. You might try upping the gain on your amp. You can also "milk" it with vibrato for a little more sustain :)
