Am I  correct in that "sustain" is actually simply "volume" and that the 
EGs are  always AR?



The Taurus 1 is a Dave Luce design. The "sustain" label is a misnomer. It  
should be labeled "VCA Contour Amount" as it is in the same configuration as the 
 "Filter Contour Amount."
 
Kevin isn't kidding when he writes: "several things that are weird on  T1's". 
 Not only do the attack stages have different ranges, they're short  too: 5 - 
560 mSec for the loudness and 5 - 56 mSec for the filter. Both decays  are 50 
mSec - 2.8 seconds. Until I saw the specs for these, I assumed they were  
longer.
 
Weird design or not, they still sound great. I think "Xanadu" & "Cygnus  X-1" 
when Taurus pedals are mentioned and "I Don't Care Anymore" and the  Police 
and Renaissance..........
