{"product_id":"electro-harmonix-synth9-254691","title":"SYNTH9","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Tribute to Cult Keyboards of the ’70s and ’80s, in Pedalboard Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SYNTH9 follows in the footsteps of Electro-Harmonix pedals capable of transforming a guitar signal into entirely new textures, here with a resolutely “vintage synth” approach. The 9 presets draw inspiration from iconic analog colors (pads, leads, strings, synth basses) and immediately evoke the aesthetic of legendary productions, from art rock and synth-pop to the most spacey funk. If your influences range from ELP and Kraftwerk to Joy Division, P-Funk and Peter Gabriel, you’ll find that spirit from the very first notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is it for, which styles, and in what context?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SYNTH9 is designed for guitarists and bassists who want to \u003cstrong\u003eadd a genuine synth layer\u003c\/strong\u003e to their playing without switching instruments. It is equally suited to intermediate musicians (immediate presets, clear controls) and creative studio users looking for \u003cstrong\u003epolyphonic textures\u003c\/strong\u003e and “keyboard-style” bass lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is particularly at home in \u003cstrong\u003epop, rock, electro, new wave, funk and prog\u003c\/strong\u003e, but also in ambient music when combined with a Delay or reverb. Live, it becomes a formidable tool for filling out the sonic space (pads, strings) or triggering synth leads. On a pedalboard, it works ideally at the beginning of the chain to maximize tracking accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Routing and Setup Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperation is designed to get you straight to the sound: two volume controls (DRY and SYNTH) let you balance the guitar\/bass signal and the synth texture, while \u003cstrong\u003eCTRL1\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCTRL2\u003c\/strong\u003e change functions depending on the preset (color\/tone, attack, modulation, intervals, vibrato speed, portamento, etc.). The \u003cstrong\u003e9-position selector\u003c\/strong\u003e provides access to a wide range of sonic worlds: OBX, Profit V, Vibe Synth, Mini Mood, EHX Mini, Solo Synth, Mood Bass, String Synth and Poly VI.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor best performance, place the SYNTH9 \u003cstrong\u003efirst in the chain\u003c\/strong\u003e, then add modulation, Delay and reverb. Avoid placing distortion\/overdrive before the pedal: if you want to dirty up the sound, place the overdrive \u003cstrong\u003eafter\u003c\/strong\u003e the SYNTH9. Note that an \u003cstrong\u003einternal compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e is active on the synth sounds, stabilizing the attack and improving note definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SYNTH9 offers a distinctly “analog” palette: \u003cstrong\u003eexpressive leads\u003c\/strong\u003e that cut through the mix, expansive \u003cstrong\u003epads and strings\u003c\/strong\u003e for adding thickness to a chorus, and deep, funky \u003cstrong\u003esynth basses\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sound is deliberately musical and inspiring, with an exceptionally immediate playing feel when the input signal is clean and well defined. By adjusting the DRY\/SYNTH mix, you can move from a complete keyboard-style transformation to a subtle \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e that preserves the guitar’s attack for better presence on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
