David,
I remember several years back seeing you "play" the compression knob on a zvex pedal (fuzz factory, perhaps?) at the Wooly Mammoth rehearsal studios. That was some other-worldly (and very musical) sustain.

Jeff -
Hi. Catching up with "the digest."
I use a volume pedal and a delay (400ms). I'll "swell" the volume after I pluck a string and fill the delay. It means I'm standing on one foot A LOT as I continuously "pump" the delay. This allows for controlable, variable dynamics and a far more "roundness" than the somewhat harsh buzz I experienced playing with an ebow.
I hope that helps.
David

How do you get that sustain? I have been listening quite a bit to 9.9.99 and was wondering in fact.
best,

I've never owned an ebow. I tried with one in a store a very long time ago, but it seemed kind of fiddly and not nearly as smooth as I was/am looking for.
