E Bow E BowPublished on 04/14/09 at 21:18
The E bow Plus is one of the coolest devices I've used on a guitar. You place the device on top of the string you want to sustain, and hold the E Bow over the string close to the pickup you have selected. The E Bow automatically sustains the string infinitely, or until you remove the E Bow. Move closer or farther from the selected pickup to adjust dynamics. There are two settings, Normal and Feedback. The normal setting just sustains the note you are fretting, and the feedback setting makes it LOUD and feeds back a lot, highlighting the loud overtones. Both settings are great in certain situations.

The E bow Plus is one of the coolest devices I've used on a guitar. You place the device on top of the string you want to sustain, and hold the E Bow over the string close to the pickup you have selected. The E Bow automatically sustains the string infinitely, or until you remove the E Bow. Move closer or farther from the selected pickup to adjust dynamics. There are two settings, Normal and Feedback. The normal setting just sustains the note you are fretting, and the feedback setting makes it LOUD and feeds back a lot, highlighting the loud overtones. Both settings are great in certain situations.

While it takes some time to get used to, it's a really easy device to use. Eventually it's a piece of cake. There's not much in the way of explanation or manual reading. As with all new playing techniques, it takes some practice. It also is difficult to switch between the E Bow and a pick, but it can be done if preparations are made and one puts some practice into it.

The effect is like no other I've encountered. No sustain pedal can achieve this sound. I use it with guitar, which as far as I know is the only instrument it's used on. I like the normal setting better than the feedback one generally, although if you're into Liars or Sonic Youth and love drones, you'll be all about the feedback setting. They both have their time and place. At first the tendency for most players is to lean on it a lot, and put it really close to the pickups. This makes it really loud and can damage the amplifier you are using if done improperly. Make sure you ease into it when you use it and you should not have a problem.

This is a useful item that I personally didn't think I would ever need until I got one, and I've used it in many of the bands I've played in since. There's nothing else like it and it's definitely a cool ambient effect that's otherwise difficult to achieve on the guitar. I don't think there are any other models out there so there's no real opportunity to purchase a cheap knockoff. It seems pricey but it's worth it. I'd definitely recommend it to anybody.

The E Bow plus is an extremely unique effect. You hold it up the LED light on a string where you would normally pick, and it sustains whatever note you are holding down on the frets. It has two modes - one for playing pitched sounds and one for feedback sounds. There are no connections, you simply just hold it up by the strings. It is an analog effect and is really unlike any other I have heard.

While it easy to get some sound out of it, it takes some time to switch strings quickly and to get a consistent sound from it. I had to look at the manual to see the techniques involved with it and it took a bit of time to get used to.

The work I put into figuring out the best techniques with the E Bow definitely paid off. Its a hard sound to describe, but it definitely sounds like you are using a bow and is great for sustaining notes and making a drone sort of sound. The feedback mode is also great for when you need to create some realistic feedback. I've only used it on guitar, but I imagine it would work with any stringed instrument that has a pickup.

I've had the E Bow for about six months. I took a chance on it and it paid off - I now have a really unique sounding effect that I use all the time for simple lead guitar parts. There aren't any models out there like this that I am aware about. While it maybe a bit pricey for the average guitar player, if you are interested in expanding your pallet of sounds, this is a great piece of equipment.

The effects obtained are DIFFERENT according to use, if we let E Bow up was unsutain infinity on a held note or range plays slide or even tapping! If it dplace E Bow on both sides of the microphone are obtained Difference attacks like a violin (grand)

I use the E Bow + 3 years, I hsit buy it because of its price lev (approx € 150 the era), but in retrospect I REGR you no this investment, which can think outside the box in Contents guitar

So I yesterday ... This little thing is amazing!
The electro-magnet allows you to vibrate the string over which it is positioned.

It therefore provides endless sustain ... in "+", the note is generated as a harmonic of that which is fretted (not bad at all for an effect of feedback control.

But that's not all: the e-bow radically changes the tone of the guitar and with a little practice (the beast can not be easily tamed!) Can be obtained in bulk:
- Sounds of wind instruments (flute, horn, ...)
- Sounds of strings (violin, cello, ...)
In short, it is necessary to experiment because the possibilities are endless (playing position, keeping the volume and, very importantly,...…

most: play opportunities, sound obtained. Comes with a method on tape
the least: the price

I use it for one day only, I am far from master and have explored all the intricacies of the game with e-bow ... but it is a good investment in view of the sonic possibilities it provides.
