Re: [Fwd: [thewire] Unusual Guitar Sounds]+ sustainer

[Jeff Duke <jmar@bellsouth.net>]

have any users noticed that when you use an E-Bow with a GR-30 you have to 
get
the synth sound going first? ie; the Bow does'nt vibrate the strings 
enough. I
have set the senitivity but it still does not grab it. I mean, I have to 
hit
the note hard to start it,
