Electro Harmonix Synth 9 Pedal - Guitar & Bass Demo 

Do you think I can get a brass type sound or piano accordion maybe on a single string? I’m trying to do some Mavericks type songs and they have a lot of those instruments in most of their material, unfortunately we don’t have a brass section or a piano accordion player ha. I tried a Mel 9 but wasn’t quite right.

Awesome! Keep rockin, friend!

Same here,alot younger at 64

My boyy you littt keep rockin OUUT

I’m 63, but the numbers on my birth certificate are my bitches. 🤷

Absolutely agree. I commented in that style on their RU-vid upload page - they didn't like it. This demo is less complex and tells you a lot about the potential of the Synth9. This is the demo that I point all my friends towards.

So this would be more suitable for ambience, background landscapes more than "riffing" or chordal work? Would you recommend this pedal? I've been on the fence for the last couple of weeks on this pedal.

@@djlimitededition385 I'm not a gigging musician but after several weeks playing around with this box, I'd say that the range of examples in this demo give you a really good idea of what its best applications are. You probably can use it for lead playing but only within limited range of effects and settings. It's great for riffing and bass-style runs (as demo'd here) but on balance I would say that unless you are VERY experienced with a midi-synth or guitar-based triggering of synth effects, then ambience and SOME chordal styles probably are the best way forwards ... certainly at first. If you're able to multi-track or loop then that could well be an excellent area to investigate. Have you also explored the EH 'Epitome' box? (or 'Epitom3' to give it its real name). This isn't a synth but a single box which allows all sorts of ways to blend 3 classic EH effects. Good demos here -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KoB5BK9TrbI.html and here -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tcaRDEQH38U.html or here -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1cIuy8qFoT4.html Of the two - AND THIS IS A PURELY PERSONAL PREFERENCE - I prefer the Epitome as its easier and faster to create usable sounds but it definitely doesn't have the ranges of the Synth9.

Which one has better tracking? I play jazz fusion

Have you seen the Bass synth pedal 'Future Impact'

I think the problem with the bass sounds here is that he always got the Dry knob (Blend) on full FX... I'm sure that mixing 50/50 (FX/Clean Bass) should sound way better.

WildVideos probably not, but I want one nonetheless 😁😁

I’m guessing you were inspired by Bill Rupert’s EHX demo. Indeed that was some sorcery!

A little bit, hotter pickups will have a more louder, harmonically rich synth sound and vice versa, doesn't really affect the shape or the envelope of the synth though :)

Pretty sure that pedal only emulates monophonic synths. You can't play multiple notes.

No mate, there's no delay whatsoever 👍

@@JammyGit what if you play a little fast?

Juan - You don't need to worry about anything like that with any of the "9" series of pedals mate. They sound great and are fun to use. I own the B9 & Mel 9, I like them a lot and I want to get the C9, Key 9, and Synth 9 and ccmplete the collection 😆👍

no expression IN, no saves, no possibility to mix 2 sounds....

and no stereo.

They've stated since the b9 that none of the organ/synth pedals can track bent notes.

Mike Lakefloor . Yep, I wanted to play Keith Emerson licks with the B9 .. can't track fast enough

It's about time that EH got their act together and did what Zoom do so well when they make effects and multiFX units within which you can create and store your own settings as patches.

It tracks pretty well, when you play really fast it gets a little latency but if you mix the dry with the wet the initial dry will still be one tempo so it still sounds fine

one thing this pedal has that the SY-300 does not have is Portamento (from what i can remember). The Boss does have pitch envelopes and LFOs that can modulate pitch, but not a Portamento that will behave the way this EH pedal does like a real Portamento where it will bend as far as the distance between next played pitch.

No.

Yes

How much?

$130 plus shipping basically new haven’t used it

Chris Arias I’m little late but do you still have this for sale?

The pedal is really amazing, but requires a little bit of creativity and imagination to get the most out of it or otherwise you will bored very fast. Clearly is not for everyone

Brilliant job in this demo!

lmao grumpy pants, it sounds awesome and you are just a hater. Go away!
