this thing.

I imagine an effects box wouldn't be any better than the Sitar Swami.

I want Danelectro to make it to hear how bad it can be, call it the "Banjo Rube"

this thing.

that sounds pretty good.

Also the moog guitar could somehow do this electronically with the pickups, like a fernandez sustainer in reverse.

it takes up a little less room than another guitar.
best of all, the guitar-jo is $8200 cheaper.

Yes, the guitar-jo sounds ok. But would love the simplicity of a pedal

What using a combination of a Jaguar mute (some kind of mute) and a compressor set to very heavy compression?

[Trout]

Never tried it, does it sound good?

[Shadoweclipse13]

I don't know I'm just thinking out loud that a banjo sound is kind of choked like a sitar (semi-muted), and more stacatto like a Jaguar, and maybe a compressor might make it more so. Worth a shot anywho...

just use a guitar with a floyd rose trem. usually floyds kill most sustain.

Only if the compressor would allow you to precisely set time constants attack and release! Slow attack, fast release
