Mmm, balanced guitar cables. I assume you've got a guitar amp with a balanced input on it to put it through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-Bows work by changing the polarity in the magnit thus vibrating the steel string. They will work on any string instrument as long as the instrument has steel strings.

I assume you've got a guitar amp with a balanced input on it to put it through. No, but in that case I use a normal cable. However, when I'm strapped for space, I don't take an amp. Instead I have a rack mounted box containing the pre amp stage of a Fender Club twin and the guts of an SM57. The outputs of this, that go straight into the mixer, are balanced, giving me a guitar that thinks it's plugged into a quality amp thats miked up with a SM57. I also have Digitech pedal that can be plugged straight into the mixer using balanced jacks, but I don't like the sound of it that way. What I do sometimes use is a POD 2, the outputs of which are balanced. Now it does sound great straight into a mixer and has a good compressor.

Hog Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 The pick up can make a hell of a difference to feedback. New strings are great for a bit more sustain and you guitar build can also be a contributing factor i.e thru-neck etc. There a some good deals on compressors at Ebay.co.uk. Boss pedals are always good for compressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
