EBow Plus : Classic effect, could use an update?

9 years ago

A well-known effect in the post-rock scene, this hand-held electromagnet allows you to agitate the strings of your electric guitar to produce a drone. When I got back into guitar playing recently I was eager to try one, and I was a bit surprised when I opened the box. The build quality is kind of crappy, with the molded plastic sides not quite fitting together right, and the switch feels like something from a Chinese-made toy. There's a knack to getting a sound from it which can take a moment, and it boosts the volume of your guitar a massive amount so best used with a volume pedal. Can produce some nice tones, I use it mostly to make source tones for sound design in my studio.
