Electro-Harmonix Synth9 Synthesizer Machine

The Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine transforms your guitar or bass into a polyphonic wonderland of vintage synth sounds, with 9 meticulously crafted presets that capture the essence of rare and iconic synthesizers. Whether you want cutting lead synths, expansive pads, or deep, funky bass grooves, the SYNTH9 has it all right at your fingertips.

With flexible controls like DRY volume, SYNTH volume, and the CTRL1 and CTRL2 knobs, you have precise control over each preset's unique parameters, making this pedal a synth powerhouse. From lead tones reminiscent of classic tracks by ELP, EVH, Kraftwerk, and Peter Gabriel, to the deep grooves of P-Funk, the SYNTH9 delivers it all in one compact pedal.

Optimal Performance Tips:

• Place the SYNTH9 at the beginning of your effects chain. Follow it with modulation, delay, or reverb pedals for best results.
• For optimal tracking and sound quality, use the bridge pickup on your guitar and set the volume knob to its maximum level.
• Avoid placing distortion or overdrive pedals in front of the SYNTH9, as they can degrade the input signal and cause tracking issues. Place them after the SYNTH9 if needed.
• There's a built-in compressor on the synth sounds. We recommend avoiding additional compression while using the SYNTH9 to maintain clarity and performance.
