The Electro-Harmonix Synth9 is a creative synth-style pedal that transforms a guitar or bass into a wide range of vintage-inspired synthesizer tones without needing special pickups or MIDI. From thick synth bass sounds to bright leads and atmospheric pads, it captures the feel of classic analog keyboards while remaining surprisingly easy to use. The tracking is smooth and responsive, making the pedal feel natural under your fingers instead of overly processed or delayed. Fun, inspiring, and full of character, the Synth9 opens up an entirely different palette of sounds while still feeling approachable for everyday players.

The polyphonic EHX 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.
