Review: Magic Ebow Effect
If you have never heard of an Ebow but are wondering what the heck this weird plastic device does, let me help you out.
The Ebow is perhaps the most useful and strange effect I have ever laid my hands on. First if all, the device works by setting up a small magnetic field which is carefully placed over your metal strings. In almost magical fashion, when the Ebow is placed like this the strings vibrate continuously and rapidly, sounding so smooth that they transform the guitar into sounding like a bowed instrument. If you cannot imagine this please head to your local music shop immediately and try it out.
It definately takes some practice to get good but it is well worth it. I suggest pulling this thing out at a live show and impressing some fans.
Retails for around $100 dollars. Runs on batteries.
