The Mellotron Group

Has anybody on this list ever tried the Sustainer pickups made by Fernandes or the Sustainiac pickups made by guess who - Sustainiac ?  I believe that Hackett and Fripp have used the pickups made by Fernandes. 


Also, in recent years electro-harmonix has come out with the Freeze Sound Retainer and Ravish Sitar pedals.

I am a junkie with E-bow.  Most of the time I use it while playing slide and with gobs of echo.  Luscious!  I had great hopes of using it with a Coral sitar, but the buzz bar prevented the strings from vibrating...I was looking for infinite sitar drone, then playing it with a slide...somebody stop me!

Hackett often used an EBow for long, sustaining notes.

He has some ultra compressed sustained fuzz that is amazing.  Any guitar players here ever been able to get close to this?
