Long sustained clean tone on Helix

I am looking for long sustain on a clean chord.  I tried a few of the compressors, but they do not seem to do anything.  I know I can get super sustain if I am willing to cram the signal into an amp and over-drive it, but I need the tone to be clean.

 

Can anyone point me to a patch that does this, so that I can play with it?

 

Thanks!

I tend to use the Kinky Comp for that. For a sustaining clean sound with humbuckers I'd start with the stock settings, reduce Mix to 33% and add Level so that the attack of the chord is about as loud as bypassed which is 6.6 with my guitar. If I'd want to add more sustain I'd increase Sens. To reduce hiss (especially with high Sens or single coils) I put a Horizion Gate behind the Kinky Comp.

The Line 6 Clarity is the ideal amp model for this kind of super clean stuff.
