The Infinite Sample Sustainer is a clever little box that lets you create evolving soundscapes and drones. It’s fantastic for ambient guitarists, experimental sound designers, or anyone wanting to add a unique textural element to their playing—think Sigur Ros meets a looper, but in a single pedal. It's a surprisingly versatile tool for adding atmosphere and creating unusual sonic textures.

Frequently Asked Questions
It’s less about creating full song loops and more about layering sustained notes and chords to build textures; it's more a harmonic enhancer than a looping machine.
Absolutely, it works great with bass! You’ll need to adjust Decay and Level settings, but it adds a really cool drone-like quality to basslines.
The FX Type switch primarily modifies the integrated reverb and modulation, while the core sustain/sampling functionality remains consistent regardless of the selection.
