Gothenburg – the industrial capital of Sweden – has always been a centre of Swedish export and import trade. For centuries, it’s been the nation´s most important port for trading goods, and in modern time the home of Volvo and Saab automobiles. However, in the shadow of the fading big industries at the beginning of the 90’s a new musical breed started to take form – something that metal fans all over refer to as the Gothenburg Sound!

THERE´S MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE...

Did you know that several of the EBS Black Label Pedals have the possibility of being fine-tuned?

The fine tuning controls on EBS Black Label Pedals are worth paying attention to – especially when the pedals are used with in- struments other than bass. But they can also be useful when forming your personal sound or for making the pedals respond exactly to the way you play. These extra functionalities are accessed by removing the pedal´s bottom plate.

Here is a list of pedals with extended features:

EBS DPhaser Several adjustment options including centre EBS BassIQ High-pass filter mix-in, Gain trimmer, frequency for the sweep controlled by the Dynamic High-pass filter mix-in. width knob and a Gain control, as well as settings for bypass, and types of effects. EBS TremoLo Gain level fine tuning.

EBS MultiComp Threshold fine tuning. EBS DynaVerb Change to parallel mode (when used as a studio rack effect). EBS UniChorus Effect mix level – decides how much or little of the effect to be blended in with the original tone.

Musicians known to use EBS effects who neither bass players, nor EBS endorsers include country super star Brad Paisley, Beck/ Sting guitarist Lyle Workman and Deep Purple guitarist Steve Morse. Among those endorsed by EBS you will find keyboard player Richard Barbieri and guitarist John Wesley, performer with Porcupine Tree, Justin Timberlake/Timbaland guitarist Mike Scott and Soul Sign/Player guitarist Rob Math.
