Anyone in MN carry EBS?

Sign in to disble this ad
I am thinking about the EBS Valve Drive or the Microbass II and I want to go try them out. I'm in Minnesota and I can't find a dealer. Any suggestions?

Any opinions on the Valve drive with tubes and no DI for $300, vs the Microbass II tube emulator with DI for $400.

I am also reading up the SWR interstellar OD. Anyone know why it was discontinued?

I'm pretty sure American Guitar Boutique (Now "American Guitar and Band") is an EBS dealer... or at least used to be. They should have a thing or two.

Otherwise I did see a Valvedrive at Encore the other day...

"What is phone book?" Ha ha, I was at encore music before you even wrote that.
I couldn't try the Valve Drive though because they didn't have the right power supply. I did get to play with a moogerfooger LP envelope follower and that thing is pretty sweet.

Thanks, I'll check them out on Monday. They're right down the street from encore too. I am already sure that I don't want the Sansamp, so if the EBS Valve Drive or Microbass II isn't any better then I'll just go without.
