ebows

Jeff -
 
Hi.  Catching up with "the digest."
 
I use a volume pedal and a delay (400ms).   I'll "swell" the volume after I pluck a string and fill the delay.  It means I'm standing on one foot A LOT as I continuously "pump" the delay.  This allows for controlable, variable dynamics and a far more "roundness" than the somewhat harsh buzz I experienced playing with an ebow. 
 
I hope that helps.
 
David

How do you get that sustain? I have been listening quite a bit to 9.9.99 and was wondering in fact.
 
best,

I've never owned an ebow.  I tried with one in a store a very long time ago, but it seemed kind of fiddly and not nearly as smooth as I was/am looking for.
