Since the 1960’s, electric guitar players have been searching for an effective way to control sustain and feedback. The FERNANDES SUSTAINER puts that power at your fingertips. Our patented technology allows players to produce Hendrix-like textures and tonal colorings at any volume level. The Sustainer works with single notes or chords and can be adjusted to give swells or a gradual decay to the sustain.

You dont need any fancy stuff.
Volume, gain and the right position near the amp are all you need.

But, I sometimes use a compressor pedal just to put things over the edge when I'm gigging.
One of my fav guitarists Phil Collen from Def Leppard has a Floyd Rose Sustainor built into his signature guitar

If you're only just starting then I would advise just getting used to playing through a loud amp before you worry about any gizmos
The electric guitar is a vastly different animal when you play it a really really loud. Any slight noise at low volume is so much more noticable at volume. Learning to control the guitar is better than worrying about gadgets.

Peter Green wouldn't have used any studio trickery or gadgets - they where'nt around!
The whole band would've just set up in the studio and played. Green would've positioned himself by his amp so he could angle himself towards it when he wanted the note to sustain. I'd imagine it was just him, his Les Paul and either a Fender or an early Marshall amp (Dont know much about Green's stuff so couldn't say)

A solidbody electric with a humbucker pickup at the bridge, through a reasonably loud amp with a decent level of gain and you'll have no trouble getting that sort of sustain.

Wasn't it discovered by Gary Moore (who acquired Peter Green's Les Paul in the '70s) that the impressive amount of sustain that particular guitar was capable of was in part down to the pick-ups having been wired incorrectly, either at the factory or by Green himself




There's no slide on that track UB, it's all in his fingers :
