Sustain and tone

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I've been looking around and stuff. Anyway, I had a quick question. I just figured out the first solo in comfortably numb, except whenever I play it it sounds all twangy and the notes kinda don't "flow". I thought this may be for a few reasons but I had to ask someone who might know better. First, I'm no David Gillmore, however I thought there could be another reason.

Second, I don't have any true sustain, besides the amp distortion and stuff. Anyone have any good suggestions for an effect pedal that can give me that tone? like the warm, flowing sustained one in CN?


Finally, although this may be irrelevant, anyone know some new good pick-ups i could use to accomplish a good Floyd sound? Not sure if the ones I have now (the stock affinity fender-squier single coils) are good enough to accomplish this. I probably should get new ones, I just dont have the $200+ for those EMG ones....

Re: Sustain and tone

Boss CS-2/CS-3 compressor/sustainer might help.
But most of all: Good finger vibrato is essential.
