Polyphonic Resonator for pedal steel

John Lindahl · Post by **John Lindahl** » 11 Feb 2015 5:25 am

Got to try out the new SRG E10 for guitar. It's the worlds first handheld polyphonic resonator for guitar. Looks and works like a ebow and it has individual controls of easch channel such as a highpass, lowpassfilter, mutetrigger and powerswitch. Tried it on my old Sho-Bud and this is how it sounded. Really sweet sound!

Suggested list price 400 Euros (approximately $453 USD). So you could buy four E-bows for the price of one of these. Thanks for sharing!

I know the price of one of these are expensive, but for now they are hademade so I guess that's why. If u wanna have four ebows or one of these that's your choise

how does this compare with the old 2 string E-bows that were made for the steel?

Not really familiar with the two
string ebow for steel but if it's like a
regular ebow but for two strings, the
difference with this one is that u have
individual control of each channel.

Also u have three modes on the SRG E10.
The ebow has the harmonic mode and the
regular(?) mode.
SRG E10 has three modes,
normal mode/Hipass filter/ Lowpass filter.
Also a mute trigger and a
power switch for each channel, so u can use
it as a mono aswell
So for example u can have the hpf filter on
one string and normal mode on one.

Great to see an updated version of the steel guitar Ebow!

Question: could these allow the the user to move the sensors to work on a personal choice of strings. Looks like the current steel guitar prototype works on 2 adjacent strings; my original SG Ebow works on the 2 outside strings of a 3 string group, i.e. strings 3 and 5, 4 and 5, 6 and 8. I'd love to activate strings 5 and 8 for a lot of my harmonized melody work, or even 6 and 10. That feasible?

that's possible but he has build another model than this one, and also if u want to have three strings there will be two batteries.
