Reeves is firing off some fierce leads on this one! The Sustainer is on during the entire clip, it's really noticeable when he holds a note at the end of a run. That's the beauty of the Fernandes Sustainer, you can play in your usual style but when you want the Sustainer to kick in it's right there grabbing the note!

Steve Hunter is one of those rare players who has the uncanny ability to play the perfect guitar part. That’s why Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, Peter Gabriel, Aerosmith, David Lee Roth, and Tracy Chapman have all had him record or tour with them. The following demo clips feature Steve playing the Fernandes Revolver Pro 7, demonstrating why he gets so many calls to play on hit records! Steve does a masterful job here showing some beautiful and innovative ways to use the Fernandes Sustainer in a 7-string instrument.

Clip #1
In this clip Steve is playing a tasty lick that shows off the Harmonic mode of the Sustainer. Notice how well the Sustainer works to accent what he’s playing. A cool feature of the Sustainer is that you can adjust the intensity of it to control how fast the effect kicks in!

Off we go into the unknown! Starting off with arpeggiated Lenny Breau style artificial harmonics, Steve then finishes the passage with ethereal droning tones spiced up by subtle use of the tremolo bar. Simply beautiful. This example really showcases the musicality of the Sustainer in a 7 string context. Notice that there is NO distortion or overdrive used in this example! The Fernandes Sustainer allows you to create your music with complete freedom no matter what electric tones you want to conjure up!

Steve tears into a fiery rock lick here. Check out the ballsy yet clear tone of the RP7…notice that there’s no mud? The reason is the RP7’s body: it’s made of Alder for clear powerful tone..
