Are you saying the Sustain Module is different from the Supasustainer?
Might well be the case, but please share your evidence.
We can split the thread.

You are right!
Colorsound Supasustainer is a compressor, very much akin to the Roland AS-1 Sustain

Colorsound Sustain Module is a fuzz unit... the gutshots for this pedal are above in the thread.

The unit with the two switches -- we need gutsshots!

I might be totally off but this is what I got from the pix in this thread and gutshots from effectdatabase and Reverb. Some more experienced sets of eyes is probably required since I can't tell what's going on within this circuit. looks like some sort of feedback arrangement?

cobyjoe's only posts are in this thread and both ask if anyone interested in the schematic. Looking at the posts' date, it seems we have to wait another year for his/her next post :lol:
