  • The polyphonic STRING9 String Ensemble transforms your guitar into nine different string ensembles and string synthesizers while requiring zero modifications, special pickups, or MIDI implementation. In a 9 Series first, the STRING9 includes the signature EHX Freeze effect to sample and hold notes and chords with infinite sustain.
    Enjoy Bill Ruppert's master class, and to learn more about the EHX STRING9 String Ensemble pedal, visit www.ehx.com/string9
    The STRING9 features nine amazing string patches:
    • SYMPHONIC: Re-creates the sound of a large symphony orchestra and features an octave down effect on the lower range of the guitar for a full sound
    • JUNE-O: Emulates the Juno® analog string synthesizer sound
    • PCM: Sound of a small string section sampled by a vintage PCM keyboard producing a warm vintage string sound
    • FLOPPY: Emulates the sound of an Orchestron® optical disc playback sampler, warble included
    • AARP: Emulates the classic ARP Solina® string synthesizer
    • CREWMAN: Emulates the Crumar Performer® analog string and brass synthesizer; Floyd in a box
    • ORCH FREEZE: Orchestral sound with EHX Freeze effect
    • SYNTH FREEZE: String synthesizer sound with EHX Freeze effect
    • VOX FREEZE: Mellotron® choir and strings sound from the EHX MEL9 with EHX Freeze effect

      Imagine if they went whole hog with sample and impulse response recorded Concert Grand Piano. A grand piano is only 6'4". A Concert Grand Piano is actually 9', hence more fitting to the nomenclature: Piano9 👍🏻

    Probably one of the most well done demonstration vids for an FX pedal I've ever since. You have obviously listened to each of the settings and have great musical intuition. You've helped us all to see through your demonstrations how to get the most out of this pedal. A masterful job.

  • @martin-1965
    @martin-1965 2 года назад +5

    Finally found a store in the UK with the pedal in stock - ordered and can't wait. Some of those classic 70s and 80s string sounds are iconic and to be able to play and access with a guitar without a specialised pickup is going to be amazing. Especially in conjunction with an Ed O'Brien Fender Strat with sustainer pickup - some crazy stuff gonna get laid down on tracks :)

    • @martin-1965
      @martin-1965 2 года назад

      Got the pedal now and it is amazing, but be prepared to approach your guitar in a whole new way while also having more fun than you can imagine 😎 Recommend using a powerful output pickup for best results - the Seymour Duncan bridge humbucker pup or the Texas classic on the EOB strat are great. So many ideas and sounds to explore... I'm too old and will never get bored with this beast - utterly cool, thanks EHX team for creating this monster pedal xxx

      Yes and more . I don't write or record prog (loved it and still do) but I guess my noises in my band are more what are called "indie" (whatever that means) but this pedal is proginabox you are 100% correct. Well, defo the 1980s in a box as well :)

    thanks to your demo of the sounds Arp sound and the sounds you could get playing a few iconic Beatles songs, I immediately bought one. This is my first synth pedal and it is as great as I had anticipated. Amazing low growls that you can get. My favorite so far is the ARP setting and then the Synth Freeze ad Vox freeze. My faves will change I am sure as I play with it more.

    Another great EHX pedal as always especially for their low competitive price. The String 9 sounds really nice especially on those long sustained notes, harder to sound realistic to my ear on the shorter staccato or pizzicato notes but to be honest this pedal seems to do better and nicer job than I was expecting! Nice one EHX it’s already been added to my ever expanding list of wanted pedals!
    Love the synth freeze auto mode with expression pedal for swells, sounds awesome!!!!

  • @stratodan2745
    @stratodan2745 Год назад +8

    Holy cow is this pedal great! Just got one from Sweet Water a few days ago. Can't stop using it. The first 3 sounds are where it's at for me. To incorporate it with my band or acoustic duo I think the Juno and the PCM will work the best, as they're a little more subtle. Using a volume pedal either for your "dry" unaffected or for the String 9 works really well. I have a gig this weekend so I'm going to try it out. It's already mounted on my gigging board...which I didn't plan to do so quickly...but it's a keeper and sounds great. Fills in the holes incredibly well for some of the 70s and 80s stuff the band does.
    Running it in parallel is where its at for me. I opened up the pedal and set the internal switch to mute. So when the pedal is off, there's no sound coming out of the Effect output jack. I'm basically running my guitar into the pedal then sending the Effect output directly to the PA mixing board where the String 9 has its own channel. The Dry output signal from the String 9 goes to the rest of the pedals on my board and then into my Marshall amp. Sounds fantastic!!! I love using the volume pedal to blend the sounds together. It also sounds great behind my acoustic guitar as sort of a background string pad. Really works well (again I run it in parallel with my main guitar signal so the String 9 has its own channel on the PA mixing board.)
    I researched this pedal for several months after wondering if there was a pedal out there that could do exactly what it does. It does pretty much everything I hoped for. Can't wait to hear it do the synth parts in the middle of Rush's "Distant Early Warning". Sounds perfect at home. This Saturday I'll find out how it works with the band. It's a little box of Magic!
