Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine (EHX Pedal Demo by Bill Ruppert)

The polyphonic Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 synthesizer machine transforms your guitar or bass with 9 presets that were precisely tuned to emulate the most sought after, vintage synthesizer sounds ever! From searing lead synths to spacey synth pads and deep, funky, synth bass grooves, it’s all accessible.

The SYNTH9 is also super easy to use with DRY volume, SYNTH volume, CTRL1 and CTRL2 knobs that provide precise control over each preset’s parameters.

If you dig the kind of classic synth sounds made famous on recordings by groups like ELP, EVH, Kraftwerk, Joy Division, P-Funk, Peter Gabriel and more, we think you’ll love the SYNTH9.

Quick specs:
- Transforms the tone of your guitar or bass into that of a vintage synthesizer
- 9 presets that were created to emulate many of the most popular synthesizer sounds ever
- Works on guitar or bass without modifications, special pickups or MIDI implementation
- The SYNTH9’s usable tracking range extends up to about the 23rd fret on the high-E string of a standard guitar and down to the open A-string on a bass guitar
- Use the SYNTH9 with a B9 or C9 Organ Machine as well as the KEY9 Electric Piano Machine and MEL9 Tape Replay Machine to create your own mega-keyboard setup
- Power adapter included

showed my keyboardist this pedal, and he said "About time. Now i'll play up front and do your(guitar) solos with my keys and you can stand in the back next the drummer and play the background chorus sections." :D

[Eric-shok]

Basically every 80s cover band needs this. 👍🏼

[zachcartwright]

Instant respect for starting the vid off with Rush!

[UnitNo.]

Anybody else enjoy the heck out of Bill's voice as the narrarator?

[fhare]

Finally we can have that Yngwie Malmsteen Vs. Rick Wakeman duel we've always wanted!

[johngrunwell]

Great ad. The "Lucky Man" rendition is what sold me on the new toy/tool.

[paulsimmons]

EH has been coming out with some great sounding boxes for sure but the thing that makes your devices so great is that a guitarist can simply plug in his/her favorite guitar and dial in whatever sounds they can imagine without worrying about special pickups or tracking issues. EH makes some of the most user friendly stuff on the market these days. The sitar box still cracks me up, George Harrison would have loved it!

Wow. Mr. Keith Emerson ( R.I.P. ) - in a Pedal format. EHX is on Another Level. Bill you are A Monster Player. Im still in Awe, from your Led Zeppelin / No Quarter ( you previously did ). Awesome Demo's man.

[aliensporebomb]

Bill Ruppert does it again! Rush, Genesis, Kraftwerk, EL&P - a one man prog-rock jukebox! What a great little pedal too. Yes you can get some eighties sounds but you could use it for a lot of other types of music too. Very nice.

Forgive me father for I've synth...

[entrpy]

Oh my freakin' god ... as a guitarist with an affinity for synths, thank you, thank you, thank you! After purchasing a GK pickup, midi module, and various synth modules (Roland & others), I've spent so much money trying to get the synth timbers that I've craved. It was always a compromise between having to play a certain way to get the module to track and having to settle with with the lame synth module tones that weren't exactly what I wanted. Well done with selecting those classic synths to emulate, and with such articulate tracking ...I can now play like a guitarist again! That's what I always wanted: the articulation of a guitar with those awesome synth timbres! This is going to be such a best seller.

[reigna]

Y'all are evil geniuses who opened up a black hole in my wallet.

[LloydWoodall]

If you put a synth through this pedal, would time fold on itself?

[satyanpatel]

Bill Rupert kills it in this demo. He always does, by in this his true chops show. Wish I had 1/9th of his ability.

[guitarguts]

Bill is a damn genius on guitar. every time I watch this video I see something else new in his picking and chording.

[SuperEffCee]

Fantastic! All the EHX keyboard emulation pedals are winners. More, please!

[Fudgiethewhale]

I don't need this in any way, shape, or form. but I want it.

[niku]

I bought all five “9 Series”. Now, all I need is a “Bill Ruppert in a Box”.

[nicemutant]

the guitarist demoing could sell sun tan lotion to a shadow

[normichtrailrider.]

I can only begin to imagine what music would have been like, if this was available 30 years ago ... mind boggling !
