EBow Plus : Interesting gimmick

9 years ago

There's a learning curve to using this. Don't expect getting one and getting amazing sounds and infinite sustain out of your guitar immediately. It's quite difficult to maintain a consistent and pleasant sound while also going up and down a string on the fretboard, because the string tension changes, and the e-bow is very demanding in this regard.

I've found it quite finicky for my taste, and it only works if your string tension isn't too high (no sound of basses, cellos etc.).

That being said, you can still expect to get some interesting effects using this (e.g. atmospheric pad-like sounds, if you add a bunch of effects on top). I'm keeping mine just for this.
