The following recordings with the REBO (directly into the computer) were made neither with pre- nor post-EQ. To these pure string recordings only a bit of room/reverb was added. The instrument on the first sample is a solidbody volin, similar in shape to the "Zeta Strados SV 24", equipped with the REBO.

The following recordings (MIDI -bass and -drums) were made with the REBO violin model played through an overdriven tube amplifier (via line out) and effects like "wah-wah"- pedal and echo. These recordings were also made neither with pre- nor post-EQ.
