Arcane Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 let us know how well the 1 spot fares got it today. absolutely awesome. powers all my pedals (DL4, Boss OD3, EXH Nano Small Stone & Behringer Chromatic Tuner) nicely and without any noise. very cheap too, 20 quid for the adaptor, daisy chain & line 6 plug. also, on topic: won this guy today- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 won this guy today- i have one of those!!! It's sigur-ros-tacular!! my parents got it for me for my birthday, and they're actually fucking brilliant. still struggling with the harmonic mode, but the normal sustain mode is so cool. Sounds the best with loads of reverb and a bit of distortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackplug Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 anyway i still maintain that ebows are for pussies! turn up the mapz! That makes no sense. The effect an ebow gives is totally different to feedback/whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnno Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 ebow provides infinite sustain? so does feedback...maybe with a little more harmonic overtone than the ebow;) with a bit of practice you can get your instrument to feedback however way you want it, at a good volume of course.

cheddatom Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 You might want infinite sustain and gorgeous harmonics without shit loads of nasty distortion, in which case an Ebow would be a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to write FS! you wont get infinite sustain from doing that, you will have to be rediculously loud to have a half-decent effect comparable with an Ebow, and you wont have the violin like attack to your notes.

Sounds the best with loads of reverb and a bit of distortion. yeah yeah I had one a few months ago, but sold it because I needed teh m0niez. but i missed have the cool functions it has, so i kept looking on ebay every so often for a £40-50 ebow. got it for 46 inc. postage. reverb is nice with them though i will agree! i also want to see how nice delay is with them. didn't have a delay pedal with it when i had one originally.

You could use your volume control I suppose. I am having difficulty getting accross the massive differences between the sound of naturally sustaining an electric guitar, and the sound of using an Ebow. Have you tried one? I tried one, it was a year ago to be fair, but I deffinitely remember the tones coming out of the guitar I was trying it on, and they were significantly different to the sound you get from strumming a note/chord, turning your volume knob up, being rediculously loud, and vibrato-ing enough to sustain the note for a minute (which I have also done - fun on bass but makes you shit your pants).
