I haven't had it for a while, but I remember getting decent results with an ebow and a gk equipped steinberger. However, I found I got even better results if I used a sustain pedal since I wasn't really getting anything but sustain with the ebow/guitar synth combo. Then, I found I could even get better control when I took my gk2 off my guitar, sold it on ebay and used a keyboard to get synth sounds. Amazing. The note keeps going as long as you hold down the key! --- Timothy Mungenast <mungenast@earthlink.net> wrote: > I recorded with an E-Bow while using a clean sound. > ("He Is Radio" from my > "Un-Stableboy" disc.) > It worked great! > (Granted, what starts out as a clean sound can > saturate a bit due to the > phenomenal signal an E-bow can kick out.) > E-bows also work on acoustic instruments and some > avant cat in Signal to > Noise mag even used on a snare drum's springs. > > ~Tim Mungenast > www.myspace.com/timmungenast > www.mungenast.com > > > > [Original Message] > > From: nico spahni <nicosp@gmx.net> > > To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> > > Date: 5/7/2006 10:17:04 AM > > Subject: Re: E-bow question > > > > Speaking of which, I've been thinking about > getting one, too.
