Description
The SYNTH9 takes your signal and reshapes it into the polyphonic synth tones that defined decades of recorded music, from prog-rock leads to icy new wave pads to gritty funk bass lines. Electro-Harmonix built nine presets specifically to capture the character of the synthesizers behind those sounds, so you get instant access to searing monosynth leads, wide atmospheric pads, and low-end synth grooves without touching a patch cable or a MIDI cable.
- Works straight into a standard guitar or bass rig—no special pickups, modifications, or MIDI setup required
- Tracks cleanly up to roughly the 23rd fret on the high-E string of a guitar, and down to the open A-string on bass
- DRY and SYNTH volume knobs let you blend your natural tone with the synthesized signal, from subtle layering to full synth takeover
- CTRL1 and CTRL2 knobs reshape each preset’s core parameters, giving real hands-on control over the character of every patch
- Pair it with EHX’s B9 or C9 Organ Machine, KEY9 Electric Piano Machine, and MEL9 Tape Replay Machine to build a full keyboard-style rig entirely from stompboxes
- Power adapter included
If the synth tones on records by ELP, EVH, Kraftwerk, Joy Division, P-Funk, or Peter Gabriel ever made you wish your guitar could do that, the SYNTH9 puts those sounds on your board. Drop it anywhere in your chain where you want to switch from guitar to synthesizer voice on command—no rack gear, no external brain, just a stompbox doing the work.
