Heet Sound EBow

David Gilmour talks about it in an interview with Guitar World Magazine. It appeared on "Take It Back" and "Keep Talking" from the album "The Division Bell." "Are you using an E-bow on "Take It Back"? Yeah! On a Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar that is processed through a Zoom effects box, then directly injected into the board. That' s a pretty bizarre configuration. Well, I guess I experiment more than I think I do! I had a Zoom in my control room one day and I was mucking about with something. Suddenly, I thought I should stick the E-bow on the strings and see what would happen. It sounded great, so we started writing a little duet for the E-bowed acoustic guitar and a keyboard. We never finished the piece, but [keyboardist] Jon Carin decided to sample the E-bowed guitar part. We kept the sample and ended up using it as a loop on "Take It Back," and again on "Keep Talking."

Can be seen using an E-Bow with Kyuss in 1994 on the solo for the song Odyssey. Can clearly be seen @ 6:21 in the video: https://youtu.be/hqnvynVTlK8

The EBow is frequently used by Radiohead guitarist Ed O'Brien in studio and for live performances of songs such as "Talk Show Host" and "Nude"[3] and "My Iron Lung", "Where I End and You Begin" and the live version of "Jigsaw Falling into Place" -wikipedia (EBow) You can also see Ed using this EBow to play Nude in Live From The Basement video at 1:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHbHZOcpCZ0

In [this live version of "Wishlist" from a 2010 Pearl Jam performance](https://youtu.be/VM7YgpmfE2Y?t=3m27s), we see Vedder play the song's guitar solo using an eBow.

Wes uses the E-bow at the beginning of the song Boiler.

An "electronic-bow" for guitar. James uses this small hand-held device on many of the Pumpkins songs, usually combined with a digital delay. The way the effect works is that it is placed over the string on the pickup of the guitar and it vibrates the string and keeps the note sounding. The EBow is most easily noticable on "Sinfony", which is entirely EBowed, and on "Stand Inside Your Love".

Paul Banks can be seen using an EBow at 0:27 into this video of _Take You on a Cruise_.

EBow can be seen 4:16 on Daniel's hands...

Visible in his Music Radar rig rundown, he says about the eBow : “I like making lots of soundbeds with it, like on the start of Revolution. As a trio, you’re always trying to get more sounds out of each player, to make it as big as possible.”

at 1:43, he uses the ebow

Here, Ricardo Mollo is playing this song with a E Bow.

Literally the entire video

Based on the video title, description, and what we see Munaf doing, I can contest that the thing he's taping to his guitar is certainly an eBow.

"Since the particulars of their recording techniques are virtually impossible to re-create live, Stroud uses an EBow at shows. “[Because] it makes your strings vibrate without picking the guitar, it sounds sort of backward, like an endless note...”

Atop the Space Echo.

" I used to use this thing called an ebow, which turned it into a keyboard, in a way."

Engineer Stuart Hallerman on recording the album *Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version*: 'Some things took me by surprise. After tuning up their guitars and getting a good roar going, it was time to get the first bass and guitar tracks; I walked back to the control room, and they followed me there and sat down and said it was time to roll tape [laughs]. The guitars were being played by EBows out there. Okay, interesting. I hit "record," and that was the bed of the first piece of music. Then they went back to retune their guitars and got the EBows going again and again followed me back into the control room. They said, "All right, that'll be our second track." I thought, "What have I gotten myself into here? This is going to be the most boring week on earth."'

In the song Snake Eyes, and a lot of others in this album, he uses the ebow to add ambience to the song. Here he pairs it with his ES-335

In this 2009 video captured at a soundcheck in Oakland, CA, Will can be seen picking up his eBow at around :14, and at around :16 we can hear him begin to use it.

"In the studio I use a lot of E-Bow. I used it for things like vocal reinforcement on Superstar Carwash [*sic*], like 'Close Your Eyes' and 'On the Lie.' I also did a thing where I plugged the guitar into a Leslie and played notes with an E-Bow. Then I went back and did another track and played the second note of a chord. I built chords that way, and punched components of each chord in and out. It sounded a lot like an organ. I love the sound of Leslies, but it's hard to use that shit live."

[Premier Guitar](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Rig_Rundown_Sigur_Ros) states that Holm uses an E-Bow with his Fender Jaguar Bass.

Can be seen at 0:39 in Jako's hand.

"I used it a fair bit on ‘Little Fictions’ (the track). The mayhem and craziness at the end of the song came from a wild sample that Craig found, along with me playing. I used this and a piece of hoover tubing, and the idea was to play randomly which is the most difficult thing you can do. I remember Les Dawson playing the piano badly, and later on you realise just how hard it is to actually do that! A friend said the end of the track sounds like galloping horses, and that’s something like what we were trying to get. A lot of sound creation went on in the album and the end of that track is the most obvious example of it. Everything is random on there."

In [this photo](https://i.imgur.com/d00Cc5r.jpg) from the Reegs' Facebook page, Fielding is holding an eBow to his guitar's strings.

Brad says he used the EBOW on "This Song Was Meant for You", a song from Conspiracty No. 5. According to Brad, the EBOW is "really cello sounding and melodic". He also says he "kind of got married to the EBOW back then, because it gave him a different texture to apply". Third Day also discusses the EBOW on the audio commentary on the Come Together Tour DVD. You can actually see the EBOW hanging from Brad's microphone stand on the photo which I included. You can have a closer look at the EBOW here.

0:46 Dave Welsh uses a Ebow for the long sustained guitar notes. (Even he uses it in the original song). It's unknown what type of Ebow he uses, but for now, it's just a standard Ebow.

"Donna's pedalboard rig, referred to by her techs as "The Starship", consists of 21 pedals across 3 interconnected boards. It was built by Craig Pattison Rig Design and includes a TC Electronic Flashback Delay, Vortex Flanger and Hall Of Fame Reverb, and a BOSS Blues Driver BD-2, Flanger BF-3 and Loop Station RC-30, among others. Donna's love of feedback is evidenced in her use of an EBow, as heard on the song "ANOTHERLOVE" from Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL's debut album, PLECTRUMELECTRUM and “MR MAJESTIC” from her debut album, DIAMONDS & DYNAMITE. Most recently, Donna has been experimenting with the Empress Echosystem Dual Engine Delay that features up to 35 presets ranging from classic to obscure sounds. She uses the pedal in-stereo creating complex delays by assigning unique settings to multiple cabinets." From Donna's website.

E-Bowing with DRAMA QUEEN

Just like the Boomerang III Phrase Sampler the EBow is one of Elliott's most used tools. Whenever I went to one of his concerts he ended up using it. In a private conversation he mentioned that the infinite sustain of the EBow is one of his favorite guitar effects and that he's been experimenting with it ever since he first heard about it (since the late 1970's).

Listed under Ryan's gear on Vividgreen.net. [It was used in Guster's "I'm Through", a la Joe Pisapia](https://youtu.be/auFe-ZmdXx4?t=35s).
