Guitar virtuoso Paul Gilbert is another devoted Sustainer artist, as in many of his recordings, you can hear the distinctive tones provided by the Sustainer system. Paul recently released a live CD/DVD of the Mr. BIG 2009 Tour, Back to Budokan, as well as his latest solo album Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar, featuring the Sustainer masterpiece Suite Modale, in which guitar does sound like a flute.

I can get a beautiful soft attack like a flute, or the most screaming heavy metal feedback in existence." -Paul Gilbert (Mr. BIG / RACER-X)
