I haven't had it for a while, but I remember getting
decent results with an ebow and a gk equipped
steinberger. However, I found I got even better
results if I used a sustain pedal since I wasn't
really getting anything but sustain with the
ebow/guitar synth combo. Then, I found I could even
get better control when I took my gk2 off my guitar,
sold it on ebay and used a keyboard to get synth
sounds. Amazing. The note keeps going as long as you
hold down the key!
