Sustain effect without compression: does this exist in pedal format ?

Title pretty much explains it. Looking for added sustain, EHX Freeze not the solution for me.

Pickup height can effect sustain.

You might look into the Seymour Duncan Double Back compressor. OK- it's a compressor, but it has a non-compressed sustain feature. I owned one of these for a while, and really liked it. 'Sold it to free up some pedalboard real estate, and am still a bit sorry I did.

Most any compressor can give you sustain by slowing down the release time.

If is it slowed down enough I suppose you can call it AGC or sustain instead of compression, but it is still a compressor or gain rider.
