Sounds like you're having a good adventure with your new Gretsch.
Yours looks like mine, though mine's the double-cut model.
Someone's mentioned delay, and of course there's amp reverb on many amps, but another old-school effect I like with mine is tremolo. My Princeton has tremolo built in, but I have a EH Pulsar with my Hot Rod Deluxe.
The Big Muff can do over the top fuzz and that sustain for days thing, but many of them can also be used with the Muff's own knobs and the guitar's turned down for a less extreme sound.
A few week ago I finally broke down and put flat wound strings on mine. I'm not a very good rhythm player, but I particularly like playing what I can manage in that role on my Gretsch.
