Re: [guitarfx] 'Singing' Effect

Well, First all in my way of thinking this will give one more step to get that kind of sound you are looking for, all the kinds of guitars have some kind of things I call them "nuts" being clear about they are the parts or frets where the guitar sustain more there than another frets, so for giving you a sample If Im using my stratocaster I know my strat sustains better on the keys of E - F# -G but not too much on D so I look that sound in my Gibson Les Paul and for Cminor I turn to my Yamaha for saying something to play Europa, and for all the rest of crazy Keys I use my Ibanez RG320QS, but the Ibanez is a guitar that you know I get tired easy, about the floating tremolo I have to adjust it too tight for the continuos bendings do not affect the other string into to double bending or the octave bending style, so I have to come back to change for a while to another guitar, and I try into my practice amp Fender 38Watts, my Peavey 65Watts, or my Flextone II, and of course my PC so I compare all of them to get the most closer sound on all of them, and for Santana try half and then the whole note bending and the rest will flow for your soul, so all the people in the electric guitar business, have some part of infuences from him. so look close to slash and you will find some parts related to Santana and of course another guys. So everybody have been listening Santana on the radio that´s my point.
See ya.   Enhorabuena y espero lo logres algún dia. Sinceramente desde México

I am since a very long time on the quest to create the sustained,

Queen and GNR Sweet Child.

I have tried several equioment combinations and software and find
GUITARFX the best (most versatile) so far, but while it is extremely
easy to create thousands of good distorsion sounds, I just struggle
with the ones I want.

Can someone help?  Muchas Gracias !!!!!!!

I think to make the cream sustain we must use something like this:
Gain - EQ - EQ - Distortion - EQ
Why two EQs? - I think the sustain needs in hi-gain for
high frequencies only, so two EQs with apropriatly tuned
sliders (more hi freq for hi notes). The single EQ can't
give needed hi gain for hi frequencies.
Under hi-freq I mean only hi guitar notes frequencies,
around 400-800 Hz, do not aplify very hi frequencies.
Sliders' line must look like a hill.
After distortion, I think, we must filter-out very hi freq
again  and amplify frequencies related to hi freq notes again.
You can add noise-gate to the top fx-slot too.
