JM	Re: Tube circuit to give sharp decay/minimize sustain? Sounds like what you are looking for is a gate. Some of the cheaper stompbox noisegate pedals might work for you if you set it so the gate kicks in and closes compleatly unless it's getting a lot of signal. If you set it just right it will let the beginning (the attack) of the note through but will close down and shut off the decay of the note altogether. I've never heard of a tube gate but if you are looking for a very high quality unit a company called Valley People and later Valley Audio made studio gates that were used on drums and reverb sounds as well as getting rid of noises.
