Awards and Rave Reviews for the EBS Session 60 Combo!

 

The EBS Session 60 has been incredibly well recieved and is a great success so far! Here's some feedback...

 

EBS CLASSIC SESSION 60 recieves “TOP GEAR of the Month” Award in TopGuitar Magazine, Poland

 

 

TopGuitar magazine announces that the EBS Classic Session 60 bass combo received the “Top Gear” editors' award for May. Here's some excerpts from the review:


“Concerning a massive amount of low end, which until now has been available only from larger cabinets, the possibility of positioning the combo at 45 degrees becomes priceless.”

 

“EBS Classic Session 60 offers much more than one would expect from its look. Small and handy, with an impressive low end response and an attractive pricing, this combo deserves a podium in its class.”

 

 

"One of the best bass combos under 1000 Euro - simply brilliant" *

Markus Vogler, Beyer's Music Store, Germany
* The Session 60 lists around 300 Euro.

 

"...a well-built, affordable, and versatile bass combo.
Highly recommended."

- Bass Guitar Magazine, UK, Issue 53

EBS Announcement: Fafner II ready for a summer 2010 release!

 

 

The time has come to introduce the Fafner II. This new 2-channel ’flagship’ from EBS is packed with great and useful features that makes this amp stand out from the rest. The Fafner II is second to none!

 

Two channels

EBS Fafner II use a two channel preamp that can be run in series or parallel mode. Since you can switch between the channels or blend them together it open up a lot of possibilities to shape your sound.

 

Footswitch control

Use a remote footswitch control (EBS RM-4) to switch between the channels, bypass filters, kick in the character filters or mute the rig while tuning.


Two separate XLR-outputs

A very rare feature on the Fafner II amp is the two separate balanced XLR-outputs – one pre and one post EQ. This creates the opportunity to blend a clean signal with a processed straight from the amp, or to use a clean signal to front of house and your own sound in the monitors on stage. Not to speak about the extended options it will give in a recording situation!


Individual effect loops

Individual effect loops for each channel, and a common loop provide maximum flexibility when hooking up your effects. For example, you can connect a noise gate to the drive channel, without affecting the clean channel, while you can use a chorus on the clean channel, without affect the drive channel.

EBS Fafner II is designed, developed and built in Sweden. EBS Fafner II is now in production and is estimated to start shipping sometime in the summer of 2010.

EBS Introduce TD660 - Updated and Improved.

 

EBS TD660 is the updated and improved version of EBS previously released TD650 bass amp. The new version offers an improved preamp that gives more headroom and the possibility to use a footswitch to control different functions.
 
EBS TD660 is a development from EBS popular TD650 model. The main news with the TD660 is the improved preamp that provide more headroom and reduced noise, and the ability to connect a footswitch to control the Drive, Character and Filter functions, as well as Mute the amp.

 

The update also include that the Effects Loop now is placed after the Drive and has a Mix-In filter to control the level of overall effect on the sound. The new amp has a slightly preshaped sound to improve the overall sound and to give the amp more character from the start. The chromed handles are replaced with black to match the case and to give the amp a bit rougher look.

 

At the same time the new footswitch EBS RM-4 is released. The EBS RM-4 can be used with the TD660 as well as with the previously released EBS NeoGorm combos.


The EBS TD660 will replace the EBS TD650 from now on and will be officially introduced at WinterNamm, Hall D, 3382.

EBS Introduce The DPhaser - Shipping Now!

 

The EBS DPhaser is the latest edition to the Black Label Pedals. The pedal offers three very distinct and different phaser effects. Everything from classical 70’s sounds up to hyper modern swarling phasing effects. Three different modes and three different resonance settings produce a wide range of cool sounds, controls for Width and Rate gives full control of the effect and even more adjustments can be made inside the box. While the DPhaser offer juicy analog-quality sounds, the use of the latest digital DSP technique makes it possible to fit in the same compact format that the Black Label Pedals are knowned and praised for.

For immideate release: EBS Classic Session 60 - 60 W Tiltback Combo!

 

The EBS Classic Session 60 is a new combo from EBS in the Classic Line. It is equipped with a 60 W amp, easiest described as a scaled down Classic 450 amp, with a preshape character to offer great sound right out of the box!

 

The Session 60 tiltback combo is the perfect rehearsal and small club amp - at the right price. Featured with stereo input jacks and a mix-in filter makes it possible to practice to recorded music, and the stereo phones output jack can be used on late nights when you don't want to disturb your neighbours. The balanced XLR-output makes it great for live use on a larger stage and in the studio as well.

 

The Session 60 combo is equipped with Gain, Bass, Treble and Volume controls, as well as a Character and an Enhanced filter.


EBS Classic Session 60 is shipping now!

EBS Classic T90 - All-tube Bass Amp!

 


 

The EBS Classic T90 All-Tube bass amp is developed by EBS and experts with more than 20 years experience from building exclusive tube amps for hi-fi and guitar. The result is a hand-built tube amp with special designed transformers and selected and matched tubes (2x 7025 in the pre amp, 2x 6550 in the power amp).

 

The 90 tube-Watts makes the EBS Classic T90 a perfect amp for the studio, especially since it comes with a direct driven balanced tube output. The amp is also very well suited for use in live situations on smaller stages and club gigs – and a perfect companion to the matching EBS ClassicLine cabinets.

 

The special designed transformers are overdimensioned and all materials carefully selected to perform at a maximum level - at all times.

The tubes are quality selected and matched with precision, and burnt-in for 24 hours after mounted in the amp to reveal any quality issues in time.

 

The amp has a separate input for active and passive instruments and a separate output for 4 Ohms and 8 Ohms speaker cabinets. The control panel has a classic style layout with controls for Volume, Bass, Treble and Presence.
First delivery is estimated to late November 2009.

New Black Label Pedal - EBS Metal Drive!

The EBS MetalDrive is the eighth pedal in the EBS Black Label series. The idea behind the pedal was born after modifying a MultiDrive pedal for bass player John Moyer of Disturbed, who needed a pedal for bass that delivered not only overdrive but pure metal distortion that could match Disturbeds famed heavy guitar riffs. So, EBS techs took on the commission to create the meanest and heaviest distortion pedal ever made for bass, and came up with the EBS MetalDrive! 

 

The pedal will start shipping at the end of June 2009.


EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Wah Wah - ready for shipping!

First deliveries of the EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Wah-Wah presented at the Winter NAMM 2009 will take place at the beginning of June.
