Guitar players - E-bow question

    Has anyone used both the eBow and the Joyo? I am curious how they compare.

    there are comparison videos on the internet. After watching a couple of those, I decided to get the Joyo. But I’m not a guitar player.

    Recently I saw a video of someone laying the guitar flat on a table, and just moving the E-bow slightly over a string, with physical contact, and then letting the E-bow sit on the string. A guitar string drone as a base, where he played some other instrument to it.

    For beginners like me it is essential to know that the string has to vibrate before the E-bow can engage. The magnetic field of the E-bow is not strong enough to excite the string by its own. The E-bow only keeps the vibration sustained.

    Are you kidding, when you get the eBow in the right position it automatically sends the guitar into a vibrating frenzy - literally, especially when using the G string and have the humbucker turned on

    Yeah, you must have a weak battery or maybe single-coil mics are different. I have humbuckers and can get all six(6) strings to "sing" without touch. You can even feel the vibration it creates if you gently put a finger on the string in question. (Joyo with new battery and humbucker mics)

    If the E-bow doesn’t produce a sound without plucking a string first, try different positions and different pickup combinations. I have always found the neck pickup works best, and every guitar has a sweet spot that really gets the guitar singing.

    I have not had problems producing a sound, my humbucker is super sensitive, you can literally see the string vibrate and I can hold the eBow off the strings whilst using it, it also works on the middle and neck pickups but not as powerful.
