i don't think there is such thing as a 'sustainer pedal' per se. a compressor would work well to add length in your notes. using a hard bodied guitar helps... guitars made of dense woods like mahogany... a fernandes sustainer works well... it uses a magnetic pulse to keep the strings vibrating... there are a lot of things you can do to help sustain. a loop pedal wouldn't do anything for your sustain at all..... unless you looped a short section of a note that you were holding then stopped it while it was still ringing... then played it back. but it wouldn't be seemless... a loop pedal is more or less for looping whole note phrases or simple chord progressions and such.... not for sustain.

all these topics you're posting should be in the tone and effects thread... NOT the open discussion thread..........
