All user reviews for the E Bow E Bow

E Bow The bow is a lctronique guitar is that is using a field cre magntique with the guitar pickups, causing the rope to which it is placed in an infinite vibration. O To sustain the death!
I use the Bow E +, which is the deuxime edition of E Bow, and an inter possde two positions, normal and harmonics, which gnre a harmonic of the note jou e!

Used Electronic Its is very simple, just place the E Bow on a string (prs pickups and let the string vibrate.
I use it with baucoup DIFFERENT types of effects, modulatinos, dlais or filters, which offers a wide range of sounds trs.

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, the tonalite)

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.

"The bow for guitar"! The term is well chosen, is the practice!
Listening to the K7 demo, this thing is amazing. Billions of possibilities, is raprocher the sounds of flute, cello ... But above all the most impressive is that we no longer plays the guitar: it plays EBow!
In the first test we really wonder how to get a sound with this thing, which way the hold, where to play ... by which window to throw ... Then after a few minutes on the guitar (and the manual in English of course!) Noises are finally emerging from the amp. And here's the thing 150euros are already forgotten.
Endless sustain to make tablecloths, glissendos endless and mostly sounds truly amazing (and sometimes disturbing) and light. We approach it a little ondes Martenot.
The practice is really not easy, we must learn to play and spend hours. the result not be worth as much as in the combining of traditional gender guitar effects delay, etc ... whawha you enter another world. I will still flat as a must, I think, use it sparingly though one is tempted to place everywhere and all the pieces.
Finally, a gadget that can become true aubenas who has the patience to tame him, which was not my case. Big names have tried rock (U2 on "Whith or whithout you", the Radiohead album "The blend "...) without reaching the level of the guy who plays on the K7 demo shipped with the gear (it's a killer !!!!). In any case there is no need to play the flute to the guitar. I find the subject a bit expensive but it is true that we can still do great things with, without it being a virtuoso of the EBow.
A final word of advice if I may: the only sound the EBow on the guitar is already interesting enough to not try to imitate other sounds. Keep it simple, that's how he is the best.
8 / 10 for difficulty and price.

What about the Ebow which has already been said bin and I know nothing but I'll talk anyway.
I discovered this, how to call it? effect?, pedal? instrument ?.... ahhh! I found, this appendix with the fabulous Smashing Pumpkins ago it nearly 15 years (oh my god that dates me) because I do not understand how James Iha had live, especially the endless sustain and the notes which turned into harmonics gradually, then one day I saw before me (not James Iha Ebow much to my regret) and neither one nor two I rushed to buy it.

I'm talking about the first Ebow not the one who has the option harmonic.

I hardly have used it, I fell in love with this, these, sound (s) because any note actually hard to infinity (or at least the time of the battery) but the most compelling is that this note changes as the hit of the moment and how you have the grail from the microphones, the more you press down heavily on the better your chance to bring up a very expressive harmonic (as produced by you) a "fade in" in the original note which fades into a goodbye the most beautiful effect, a bit like the solo on "Alone" by Ben Harper Burn to Shine ", with a limit set properly it's really enjoyable.

Ebow but is also able to "emulate" other instruments depending on how you set your amp and microphones used as the cello, flute (yes) and others ...

This must be close to 10 years since I bought my first EBow and I use it always with great pleasure because not only is it a good partner for the scheme but by its tone may lead to finding purple song ideas and I can not tell you for the instrumentals.

For me what makes her great strength (I speak always Ebow original) is that spontaneity in performance, the fact that any time you miss the note to give birth to his alter-ego sharper, more distorted, more edgy or reverse it will take time to tame the beast. But suddenly it would also be its Achilles heel since recording it may be that you had to do several takes because instead of being sweet melody you can hear screaming and mutate into a creature that is where we realize that must spend time with her, understand, learn to anticipate his moods (like what a woman ..... sorry). While every beast in principle, if you want to go further in the use of it you'll have to watch where you place it over the microphone above the microwave because you have a very strong signal and vice versa more it is far from the microphone over the sound will be muffled.

In terms of value for money, there's nothing to say since only Ebow Ebow do so, but it depends on how we see, if just to use them rarely the price might seem high, but if, like me, you see it as an instrument in itself, it seems reasonable to me because there are a lot of product that costs these prices and they are much less well. Basically, it's a story point of view.

I hope I have helped with the other reviews to get an idea of ​​what could be the Ebow (first name for me).

Yeah, good zik.

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.
