Bobro?

Post by Sigi Meissner »

Anyone who has this Dobro simulation item? Does it need a graphit bar? Does it sounds realistic? Any other similar recommendable items on the market?
Thnx for respond

Has anyone tried it alongside a matchbro ? If so how does it compare ?

I have owned both, but now have only the Bobro. The one thing I didn't like about the MB was that I couldn't turn it on with my foot (stompbox) and it didn't come "on" right away. My Bobro seems to have a little sharper sound, and pumps up the original signal a bit. The tone is great for me, however. I do not use it with a steel guitar tho'. I use it with an electric guitar with humbuckers, a trem arm, or sometimes my B bender, and play thru a Nash 1000.
