"Swedish stompboxes designed for bass but equally good on guitar"
Guitarist magazine this month review's 6 of the latest EBS Black Label pedals to see specifically how they perform on guitar. Although created for bass guitarists EBS effects pedals have a solid reputation amongst working musicians for their reliability and great sound on any instrument. These high quality effects are simply the natural choice for any serious player. Black Label Pedals use true bypass techniques and high quality components for improved overall performance.
EBS DPhaser
"From classic seventies phase sounds reminiscent of the legendary orange MXR boxes, through deeper eight-stage phasing, to swooshing sounds verging on flanging courtesy of the wide settings 18-stage phasing with differential modulation, the DPhaser covers a lot of ground, but always sounds classy, 4/5".
EBS MetalDrive
"Not just for metal, this is way more versatile than a standard overdrive/distortion pedal, 4/5".
EBS MultiComp
"Quality compression in three subtly different flavours makes the MultiComp a versatile pedalboard asset, 4/5".
EBS OctaBass
"Blending your sound is very straightforward, as there's a knob each for your normal sound and the low octave. The mid setting gives you a classic octave down effect but, if you want a weightier sound, low provides a really fat bottom end. The high setting offers a more effected sound that's reminiscent of a synth bass playing in unison, 3.5/5".
EBS Tremolo
"One of the finest and most versatile compact tremolo pedals available today, 4.5/5". Guitarist Choice Award.
EBS BassIQ
"Whether you play guitar or bass, this pedal has most certainly got the funk", 4/5.
