Help me get more sustain!

Can anyone tell me why I can’t get long sustain with this set up or give me tips on how I can get that nice, rich, thick sustain that we all know and love? All you compressor+dual tube screamer guys out there, what are your pedal settings to achieve that sustain?

I see other people with very similar setups as me that can get a note to hold for days but no matter what I do it seems like my signal just isn’t as hot or strong or something to get my notes to sustain. Even when I have both TS’s on the signal just isn’t there for the long haul.

For the record, my guitar is a Schecter c/sh-1 that has SD ‘59 pups, and i’m playing through a ‘65 Fender Deluxe Reissue.

My signal chain is as follows:
Guitar>boss tuner>whammy II>crybaby>Qtron>phase 90>univibe>shapeshifter>TS808>TS9>Ross>delay

Added a second board to my first one...

Why not. I had all these sitting around and I got rid of my rack stuff. A third output on my 3 to 1 lehle switcher sends this entire board to another channel on my '69 Fender deluxe reverb.

NEW EPISODE: I'm spending the next year traveling the world to find the people who build our instruments!

Hey everyone, I just launched my next interview for the Resonance series.  It was with Nikola Adamovic! I'd love for everyone to check it out and give me any notes and feedback you may have!

Updated pedal board pix...

Lots of options, nothing too crazy, no looping stuff lol 😆 done with trying to make that work...

Microverb sits on top of amp for soaring leads. Wah is a teese rmc 3 limited edition from like 20 years ago. A really, really good sounding wah. Vent is your expensive higher end rotary simulator and is been my go-to for awesome Leslie tones. No rack, got one but have just can't deal with the cords and set-up. Amp plugs into pedal board power strip.

All fits in a keyboard case for grab and go situations.

Hits the basic Trey sounds and some of the modern stuff but also goes way out with the ambient stuff thanks to the m5 and the ghost echo 👻

I’ve been working on jam style improv lately

I pulled up a jam track on YouTube and gave it a shot. Feedback welcome! I think the jam track was trying to replicate the Phish sound.

Turning a Cheap Squier into a Professional Studio Guitar

This was the guitar I learned how to play on back when I was 13! I've had other Strats, but none of them ever felt as comfortable to me as this one did, so I figured after over twenty years of fair use, I should upgrade it to be a more professional grade guitar now!

New upgrades:
DiMarzio Area 58, 61, and Tone Zone S pickups
All gold hardware from Solo Music Gear
Gold Strat bridge from Stew Mac

The white paper reinforcers were added way back in in high school lol
