The polyphonic Electro-Harmonix BASS9 Bass Machine transforms a guitar into nine different basses and requires no special pickups, MIDI or instrument modifications. It relies on the same technology powering all EHX 9 Series pedals, like the award winning MEL9® Tape Replay Machine, but features a new algorithm maximized for transposing one to two octaves down with superior dynamics and tracking.
Learn more about the EHX Bass9 Bass Machine pedal: www.ehx.com/bass9
A rotary switch allows the user to select the sound of their choice, as follows:
• PRECISION: Pays homage to the iconic Fender P Bass®
• LONGHORN: Emulates the Danelectro® 6-string bass, ideal for baritone type tones
• FRETLESS: Features both electric and standup fretless basses.
• SYNTH: A tribute to the classic Taurus® Synthesizer
• VIRTUAL: Lets the user adjust the bass’s body density and neck length for a variety of bass sounds
• BOWED: Classic bowed bass
• SPLIT BASS: Makes it possible for the guitarist to play bass on the lower strings (all notes below F#3) and chords or melody with the higher strings.
• 3:03: A polyphonic salute to the sought after Roland TB-303® vintage bass synth
• FLIP-FLOP: Inspired by EHX’s Octave Multiplexer, it provides a ’70s style logic driven sub-octave generator that tracks without glitches.
The pedal is equipped with independent Effect and Dry volume controls so guitarists can precisely tune their mix at the Effects output jack, plus an always-active Dry output jack that outputs the input signal at unity gain.
Controls 1 and 2 have been designed to adjust specific parameters for each of the nine programs. For example, in PRECISION, CTRL 1 controls the sub-octaves while CTRL 2 imitates the original instrument’s tone control.
The BASS9 comes equipped with a standard EHX 9.6DC200mA power supply.

Bill always does such a fine job of showing what these pedals are capable of. Using examples from familiar tunes just shows how usable the sounds could be on gigs and his clear grasp of all the control features shows the possibilities built into the pedal. This isn't wasting my time watching some hack goofing for 20 minutes. I, for one, really appreciate that.

@GabrielVelasco 5 жыл бұрын

I think one thing that this pedal could use is an octave off (!) switch to use with bass. So that your bass can emulate all of those other basses without playing an octave down.

@stevepethel6843 3 жыл бұрын

A couple ways to reach this goal.Use a pitch fork up 1 octave first then go into this pedal. Hey maybe get a 4 string guitar ..you could remove the 2 unwanted high strings.Any cheap lightweight electric guitar would work. If you wanted to really spend more effort you could modify a 6 string electric with a wider nut to fit 4 strings like a baritone up a and change the bridge....Wait try a electric. Baritone uke and voila the is pedal works giving you all the bass sounds plus the uke baritone if wanted for extra or by pass the uke baritone and have only these bass sounds. Maybe these crazy ideas will help you come up with what you want.God bless you bass player...

Just ordered this. Figured I ain't died from Covid yet, and don't want to risk trying out / touching a bunch of bass guitars at Guitar Center. EHX should develop an acoustic 9 pedal. The guitars should be hollow body, semi hollow, banjo, mandolin, ukelele, dreadnought, parlor, resonator, 12 sting, and others I can't think of. For tuning it should have a knob to instantly change tuning too, right on the pedal. Like a click knob. I like the Line 6 Variax models which "model" so many models, but I don't want another axe, I love the ones I have, just another pedal please.

Back in the day, I experimented with one of my 5 string basses: removing the B and E strings from the bottom end and adding a C and F string to the top of a 34" scale bass neck. I loved it for what is was: a tenor 5 string bass. At times, however, I missed not having the original low end, but I didn't want to negotiate the massive width of a 6 or 7 string bass. I tried the available octave dividers, but...they were glitchy and synthetic sounding...great for certain applications (Pino Paladino) ...but not so good for most. Man....I could have used something like this then. What could have been. Great product, and if I ever get the band back together, so to speak, this would be my first purchase.
