Re: EBow+: a creative tool?
Nice! I've used an Ebow for the last 25 years. I have a newer Ebow+ and an original one, from 1976. I like the older one better (more subtle), but the new one rocks, too. I use mine with a looper or long delay, with the tone on the guitar down to almost 0.Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: EBow+: a creative tool?
I tried it several years ago...couldn't get along with it at all! Extremely awkward to use and very inconsistent in its effect. Yes that is due to the user mostly, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get it to be consistent in output, especially if moving to a different string (there's only so much you can play if you stay on just one string). Plus if you move to a different string you can't instantly play a note...you have to wait for it to build up. No, definitely not for me.Originally Posted by IanBallard
Rule of thumb... the more pot you have, the better your tone.

Re: EBow+: a creative tool?
I think I'll probably stick with an assortment of EHX effects for strings and keys. That thing is a monster! And in reality, it would probably be fun to play with, but for live use would stay home with the EHX pedals.
I still have an eBow on my night stand as if I'm about to buy a battery soon and use it again ... but probably not. I never really crossed strings with it and bought it just to play one song when I was 55 and playing in a youth band haha.
I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

I bring and use my Ebow to every gig. With a looper, it is especially fun!Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: EBow+: a creative tool?
I love my ebow... I use the newest version for violin and flute kind of timbres.
But not currently in a band where it fits.
I also wish I could do more ebow improvisation, but there are so many variables that I kept most parts well defined.
