4 STEPS TO ENDLESS SUSTAIN!

Using your Sustainer

Insert a 9V alkaline battery or connect to an electrical outlet using 
the T-Rex Fuel Tank power supply (not included).

Plug your guitar into the INPUT jack, and run a lead from the OUT-
PUT jack into your amp.

Use the COMP knob to compress or “squeeze” your sound, and the 
SUST knob to lengthen your sustain.

The ATTACK switch lets you choose between a slow (turtle) attack 
for a subtler, more natural sound, and a fast (rabbit) attack for a 
more radical squeeze and sustain effect.

HOW IT WORKS

Compressor

Your T-Rex Sustainer is really two effects in one: a sustain-optimised 

compressor and a “time-release” gain. The compressor takes your 

sound and “squeezes” it, limiting volume “peaks” and boosting quiet 

sounds, or “troughs”. This resulting sound is more even and easier to 

extend by adding gain.

Gain

Once your signal has been compressed, an amplifier gradually adds 

gain as the note your’re playing starts to face out. This keeps your 

sound going, almost as long as you want it to.

A word of advice

A sustain effect is 100% classic, but it’s also a subtle effect. Make 

sure to take plenty of time experimenting with different settings – 

until you find a setting or group of settings that matches your style 

of music and your own personal sound.
