Electro-HarmonixSYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine Pedal

EHX SYNTH9 Synthesizer Machine Pedal

The Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 is a compact guitar synthesizer with a unique twist. Though it completely ditches MIDI connectivity and six-channel pickups, the pedal can adeptly generate recognizable synth tones from a guitar. It features a total of nine presets, each emulative of vintage synthesizers from the ‘60s and ‘70s. What’s more, all of its parameters have been yolked down to five intuitive control knobs and a footswitch, making it relatively easy to dial in and fine-tune complex sounds.

Due to its unique tracking capabilities, the manufacturer recommends placing the SYNTH9 at the beginning of one’s pedal chain. Once positioned, connect some reverbs and delays for some seriously spaced out sonic witchery.
