EBow Plus : The Real Tool That Should be Found on Any Musician Pedalboard!!!

8 years ago

I Got my E-Bow for about 2 years and i'm very happy with it!!

The E-Bow has two modes - Normal mode has more natural sustain, simply extending the note you play, the second (Harmonic mode) encourages rich upper harmonics and that's where things can get REALLY crazy!

Take a Slide and add some effects like Tape-Echos (Delays), Reverbs, Whammy pedal, volume pedal or/and vintage overdrives/fuzzes and you will find with just a little practice some cool stuff sounds - some incredible textures, modulations, rich sounds like violins, cellos, synths (lead & pads) and much more!

You can create strings-quartet/pads by recording and overdubbing multiple notes in different octaves.

I have only some one cautionary note to say - the EBow itself is made out of a very flimsy feeling plastic, so don't let fall your e-bow - the plastic casing makes the durability a bit questionable, though I'm quietly grateful for that, because when you put a battery on it feels surprisingly weighty! On the other side i only discovery "pros".
