How do you adjust a Sustainiac?

To increase sustainer response, raise both the driver and bridge pickups closer to the little E-string, and not so close to the big E-string. If the sustain is too strong for your playing style, or if it fights you, lower both the driver and bridge pickup a little under both strings.

How close should Sustainiac be to strings?

It could be that your bridge pickup and also the Sustainiac driver are set way to far from the strings. Both should be set to approximately 1/16 inch from the little e-string, and 1/8 to 3/16 inch from the big E.

How does the Sustainiac work?

A. The Sustainiac Sustainers make controlled feedback sustain. It's like playing in front of a loud amplifier: If you hold your guitar near the speakers, the intense sound will blast the vibrating strings of your guitar. Then, instead of the string vibrations dying out like they naturally do, they often keep vibrating.

Is a Sustainiac a single coil?

SUSTAINIAC DRIVER: The Sustainiac driver replaces your neck pickup. Choose single-coil size driver, or humbucker size. ... SUSTAINIAC CIRCUIT BOARD: The Sustainiac circuit board can be installed into most electric guitar electronics cavities with little or no routing.
