The Moog Guitar is off the charts. It can create infinite sustain without distortion in a completely organic way. All you have to do is manipulate the flow. They brought me a prototype when Garaj Mahal was in the studio, and I did about five improvisations to demo it. I used the most interesting one to introduce “Jamie’s Jam.” That was done in Full Sustain mode [For details on the Moog Guitar’s three modes see “Paul Vo Collector’s Edition Moog Guitar Prototype” in the November 2008 issue of GP]. I used the Moog on the rest of the tune as well, because it seemed like a natural vehicle. I played it through a Boss ME-50, which I regularly use for distortion and most of my effects, and a Polytone Mini-Brute.
