ive Hundred years before Columbus sailed to North America, the
Scandinavian Vikings were established and trading with the natives.
Their expansive trading empire also included Istanbul and the Middle East.
Swedish industry has always been driven by an innate curiosity to discover new
areas, concepts and ideas. This drive has lead to significant and ground breaking
inventions, the ball bearing, the boat propeller, dynamite and the pacemaker to
name but a few.

we tirelessly pursue excellence in bass equipment. With 20 years of experience,
producing robust and easy-to-use bass equipment for professional players, EBS

of EBS pedals make them suitable for bass, guitar, keyboard players and other
instrumentalists.
EBS pedals will take you to a world where you are the master of your sound.
Welcome!

For the first time in our 20 year history, EBS has released a signature
product. Who could be more suitable to honour than bass legend,
Stanley Clarke?
Stanley Clarke, one of the worlds’ most iconic
and innovative bass players is, for the first time
in his esteemed career, putting his name on
a product. Being one of the most demanding
players, with a distinctive tone and a clear idea of
how it should sound, we all knew what to expect.
A unique pedal design that satisfies his exacting
standards with the most delicious wah wah effects
imaginable.
This unique pedal design evolved through
collaborative effort with Thomas Lieber of the
Spellbinder Corp. USA and Stanley Clarke, and
is the first product ever that Stanley puts his name
on. Also the first ever EBS product we let an artist
put his name on. Enjoy!
