vsts to get long sustains for guitar

[IIRs]

hey I'm trying to get a long sustain with the guitar patched right to the computer.

Do you have a high impedance "instrument" input?

As cyberpink pointed out, if you plug a guitar with passive pickups into a normal line input, it will sound shite, with no sustain and crap tone. That needs to be right before there is any point worrying about compression etc.

thanx for the help guys
the ellotronics is a glorified tape delay although interesting not what I'm lookin for
we used to have a pedal that I think was like a little sampler it would sample and hold
I'm actually plugged to my board first then to the puter but I don't have any guitar plugs anymore
I'm told a long release on the compressor could I get some of the other settings on the compressor, I've got one as an insert in Orion, not very compressor savy...

Get yourself an old BOSS CS-1. You can find them on ebay for like $20, and that pedal will give you all the sustain you want. I think you would be much better off getting the sustain achieved before you enter the computer.

excellent sickle thanx
I'll go and check out our little music store here they got pretty good prices on pedals

It might be easier to find a CS-3 over a CS-1, but get the CS-1 if at all possible as it's a superior pedal.

OT, but regarding feedback, the best is to have phisical contact from the guitar body on the cab, and cranl it!
i find that the headstock is the best contact point on my fender

A normal line in? There's the problem! Use a DI box, an impedance matching transformer, or the instrument input of a recording channel. Unless you have active pickups..?

I've got 2 separate mic input channels on the Roland ,would using one of them be okay?

[IIRs]

Are they jacks? Do they say anything like "Hi Z" or "instrument"?

If not I wouldn't recomend it. I think the cheepest way to do it is to pick up a transformer from Maplins (or whatever your local equivalent is), I seem to remember paying less than a tenner..

If you like the guitar sound to be nasty distorted, then maybe... Mic inputs are normally way too sensitive for guitar usage. If there is a trim pot before the first preamp stage then you might get away with it though.

Casio DG20 -> Abstract Guitar

or an eBow.
