Completing the powerful trilogy forged by the B9 and C9 Organ Machines, the Electro-Harmonix KEY9 emulates the world’s most coveted electric pianos and more. With 9 presets, you can transform your axe and lay down a cool “Riders on the Storm” style groove or some hot funk ala “What’d I Say!”
The KEY9 transforms the tone of a guitar and/or keyboard into a convincing electric piano emulation, including several variations of the classic Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds. The KEY9 also features lively recreations of vibes, mallets, an organ, and even steel drums! Based on the popular EHX B9 and C9 pedals, the KEY9 swerves into electro-acoustic territory via knobs that control DRY and KEY volume, as well as preset-specific features that are adjusted with the CTRL 1 and CTRL 2 knobs.
Take it from Mike Matthews who says: “You’ll dig the way the KEY9 turns you into a Rhodes Scholar!”
Watch effects guru, Bill Ruppert, demonstrate the Electro-Harmonix KEY9 electric piano machine in this EHX pedal demo.
Quick specs:
- Transforms the tone of your guitar or keyboard
- 9 presets that were carefully crafted to emulate classic Wurlitzer® and Rhodes® sounds, plus more
- Presets provide control of the fundamental parameters that help define that instrument’s sound
- Many presets include adjustable modulation such as tremolo, phaser and chorus
- Use it with the B9 and C9 Organ Machines to create your own powerful keyboard rig
- Fast and flawless tracking
- Power adapter included

Great demo. I'm a keyboard player that also plays guitar and the key in using this properly is to play it like a keyboard. It's the same when a keyboard play wants to sound like a guitar you have to play it with the dynamics of a guitar. Well done with this demo.

Just played a live gig with this thing. Fabulous! EHX really have pulled out all the 'organ' stops with this. B9, C9 and KEY9 really are the tools we have been looking for. Midi - you just lost the war! You will need a noise gate, but once again EHX has an answer for that as well with the Silencer. Top products, top guys, top sounds. I've never sounded better!
