At last a demo playing some rhythm guitar, instead of just picking. Some of us actually like playing rhythm, but there's not enough demos. More please.

Not a fan of the more over-the-top sounds this pedal produces, but I like a blend of the guitar signal with more subtle effects of this pedal for background ambiance. Like at 7:00, when he strums chords with the synth drones lower in the mix -- that I totally like, and I bet it would sound great with an acoustic guitar.

I have tried it in the front of my pedal chain [into a 5150 head/cab] at the end of the pedal chain and direct with no other pedals - GTR--> SYNTH 9--> AMP Any thoughts or setting to share?

Have been debating on synth9 vs mel9 on which to get first. Mode 8 by itself justifies the synth9 first

@richardtofts7264 6 жыл бұрын

I feel the Mel9 is great as a tool for the building blocks of songwriting. The blended sound of mode 8 is also achievable using the strings function on the Mel9. Ive just bought the Synth 9 and think it may be more useful for embellishments, or alternatives to the classic ' guitar solo' sound. Its easy to use, but NOT easy to master :-)

@TotinosOtherBoy 2 жыл бұрын

Any of the 9 series pedals you wanna always put first to get the clearest tracking. If you were to put a distortion before this, and turn the dry sound down leaving only the synth part, you will see it doesnt effect the sound of the emulated synth but it will have trouble tracking notes

@JammyGit 5 жыл бұрын

I have the B9 and I'd say that the strings you use would have no impact on the usability of pedals like this. The main 'requirement' if you want to call it that for these pedals, is that you have a decent bridge pickup because that's EHX's recommendation for using them. Guitar > EHX 9 > Other Pedals > Front of amp. Oh and a compressor pedal really helps when using the '9' pedals so after much trial & error I found the best way of connecting my B9 was to go Guitar > Compressor > EHX 9 > Overdrive/Distortion > Front of amp, and put any other effects in the amps effects loop, select the bridge pickup and away you go. 👍

@garywillacey9979 7 ай бұрын

Why? Can you expand on that? I get that you may not like it, but it helps if you can state why & your thoughts. Are you a keyboard player? Although not everyone's cup of tea, but boring, it isn't. It has plenty of different effects, along with electric string type sounds which sounded great with his strumming (go to 6:58 mins). I think it could help if you lacked synth keys in your band. It would never be as good as a synth keyboard, but it's a great bit of technology.

@markferguson3745 6 ай бұрын

How are your power sources? No daisy chains or other dubious arrangements? You notice that they often provide their own adaptors; I've had issues with some of their more complex circuits with noise and other undesirable responses.I've used their stuff for years, but along with the mass production and general affordability, there are sometimes problems with headroom, noise floor, and powering.Modulation shouldn't be boosting noise levels like other effects would, so I'd assume it's a lack of isolation in the power source between the two effects.
