showed my keyboardist this pedal, and he said "About time. Now i'll play up front and do your(guitar) solos with my keys and you can stand in the back next the drummer and play the background chorus sections." :D
God dammit ! Every new pedal release is like drugs : we want more, we need it, we want it RIGHT NOW, and we can't control ourselves ! Thanks for creating those masterpieces, EHX !
I just got one second hand. Glorious! There is an ever so slight lag and you have to play clean and not let loose things rattle around too much but in every other aspect it is fab! It reminds me of the sound of the 360 Systems Slavedriver Polyphonic Synth. In the 70's that was unobtanium but now you get that sort of pompous sound in a little pedal. And it works! I also tried it with my voice, which tuns it into a wailing solo synth. Do however be aware that it will make you sound like a loon to those who do not hear the results while you are doing your thang! Furthermore it turns every old cracked keyboard into a mighty poly synth. And the synths it emulates weren't even velocity sensitive! This one however is! Well done EHX. So stop presenting it as a partyband expansion accessory. This is a real instrument! If only I was better at playing the guitar. I'd become the Jimmy Hendrix of guitar sythesis! :-)
Dang, this and the Roland SY-300, have to say of the two this actually looks more out-of-the-box practical. What changed in technology to make this instantaneous conversion possible? Great time to be alive. Excellent demo, it makes all the difference to hear the tones in a recognizable song, since a lot of us want to get up and running with archetypal sounds, even if we also enjoy the ability to disappear into the editing screens and tweak our own.
Fantastic! 🎼🎸😎👍I had a feeling this would be next in the range. In fact, I've been typing 'Synth9' into google in the off-chance that there might be some news on it!! I agree with another commentator though; a Multi9 (with a preset function like the Pog2) would also be awesome.
This will go great with my Key 9, B9 and Mel 9...Jeez I was excited about getting the Canyon next and then a C9, but I guess the C9 just dropped one more notch on my priority list. Now I gotta get this one first. When does this one come out? I LOVE EHX PEDALS! I have a whole pedalboard with nothing but EHX stuff: Ravish Sitar, Mini QTron, Key9, Mel9, B9, Soul Food, Satisfaction, Cock Fight, and a Big Muff. The number of sounds I can conjure up is never-ending, and literally drops people's jaws.
Great Demo Bill...………...you did a good job explaining all the features. Really helped me make up my mind on which synth pedal to buy.....Great job and great playing!
Omg yes even closer we need a vintage video game pedal for is chiptunes players with sounds like the Nintendo sega snes Atari c64 macintosh apple 2 But specially the nes RP2A03/RP2A07 microprocessor there's whole bands in the chiptune genre spending wads on old computers and midi modules or crazy octave fuzz boxes to get this sound I'd buy 2 I swear Loving the b9 c9 mel 9 and now I have to grab this synth 9 Lol my poor wallet Just got the black light poster too I love you ehx Seriously tho the chip 9 or game 9 something dooooo it plz
Darren Krieghauser they are not all 8bit but if it gets the point across works for me Would be awesome to make cool grooves like the band anamanaguchi Or play songs from castlania and megaman
Holy, just went through the C9, Key9 and now this and I don't know which one I want more. That opening solo is so thoroughly Keith Emerson. Soon as I have $250 to spare I'll be making some weird sounds for sure...
Loving the Genesis and Peter Gabriel tunes in this. It sounds decent (and likely good enough) but even his examples have layers on layers. How many guys on stage will need to play one to get the sound you're after?
Sheesh you really indulged your eighties play list for this didn't you? I might buy two, one to use the Mini Moog effect and the other for the Prophet effect, both to enhance my solos live, since I would always double them on keys in the studio, this takes out a whole lot of work for me.
I am so getting this immediately. I have most of the other *9 pedals already :-) Now I hope EHX can make a pedal that gives the sounds of Pat Metheny's synth guitar.
I'm happy with my pedal ! At first I had to get my head out of my own a*s and re-evaluate my reason for buying it. I sad to myself, "self.... it's not a fucking GR-55 ! It's a simple pedal that has nice pad sounds. That's what you bought for (Sam Kinison) !!" The Synth 9 can put down some gooey sounds without a midi pick up. I wish I could smoke it.
I mean it's cool but I already have an ehx microsynth. Which can't do everything this can. It's monophonic for one thing but that can be cool. If they put a switch on this to switch between mono and poly, that would be excellent.
showed my keyboardist this pedal, and he said "About time. Now i'll play up front and do your(guitar) solos with my keys and you can stand in the back next the drummer and play the background chorus sections." :D
Basically every 80s cover band needs this. 👍🏼
Forgive me father for I've synth...
Megat Yaesree quick, somebody make that into a t-shirt!
Anthony, Yes! ...but they don't have a good selection of t-shirts.... they need one for every product.
What about the "Synth's of the Father?"
Forgive us our bypasses and those that bypass against us....
Megat Yaesree lol brilliant
The Seven Deadly Synths?? Corny.......?
Instant respect for starting the vid off with Rush!
Bill Rupert kills it in this demo. He always does, by in this his true chops show. Wish I had 1/9th of his ability.
I bought all five “9 Series”. Now, all I need is a “Bill Ruppert in a Box”.
I can only begin to imagine what music would have been like , if this was available 30 years ago ... mind boggling !
EHX are really pulling it out of the bag. What great fun these are!
EHX, I must say, you are quickly becoming my favourite pedal company!
Thank you!
This the best guitar synth demo on youtube!
Well done!
Just ordered mine. Apparently the shop is getting their first batch this coming week. Super excited!
Suggestion: create multiple pedal package deals. ... I'm sure everyone wants at least like 3+ EHX pedals.
Bill you are THE man. Another superb clip. TYVM, Sir!!
Ok you finally won me over with Lucky Man
I said the same thing with Watcher of the Skies on the Mel9 demo... Now I'll be twice as broke!
Absolutely amazing. Best of the '9' series by far
Want this one AND the KEY9. Putting all those high end, extremely expensive pedals to shame. Great job dudes.
God dammit ! Every new pedal release is like drugs : we want more, we need it, we want it RIGHT NOW, and we can't control ourselves !
Thanks for creating those masterpieces, EHX !
Thanks!!!!
You did it again!!!!
Another one.
I love you guys!
Just got this one of my favorite pedals ever
Bill is an awesome player and programmer ... my jaw hit the floor when he played the lead from ELP's Lucky Man .... more more more!
Best gear DEMO VIDEO EvvvvvveeeeeRRRR.
What an amazing piece of gear too!

Gotta say this was a great demo video. Learned a lot about the pedal, good playing, tasteful, Flashlight! Quality through and through.
Ok this pedal is gonna be here on Saturday. Excellent demo.
This is the best sounding guitar synth pedal I've heard... it will ultimately find a home at ICP Studios!
I love how this turns into a Sonic soundtrack.
YES. This is everything I've been looking for.
That 'Rush' section sounded fucking amazing .. TAKE MY MONEY!
I own it and I love it! EH is really making great stuff.
EHX you guys are nuts
I can't get enough. Quickly send this pedal to other TH-cam channels for demo/review.
Ok , EH is about to drive me Bankrupt with all these fantastic Pedals . Please stop !
I'm at 2:57 and have already ended up buying one
My plan was to watch this so many times I would get immune to the lure of this device. Well, that did not work..
This was a superb treat, Thank you Bill.

Thought I wanted the Mel9 but this is a new level of want.
cyrfung why not both? ;)
The more this video showed the more I wanted it. I might have to get 2.
Cultured men will recognize the Depeche Mode riffs played in this demo.
New Order and Kraftwerk also...
That was an interesting choice for a demo - sounds just like them to me!
fun, fun, fun auf der Autobahn... excellent demo choice!
I'm getting this!! 👍But still waiting for a Stevie-style clavinet emulator! Clavi9???😘😘😘😘
Bill brought the Woo! Flashlight!
All of these keyboard pedals are so awesome.
WOW!!! These pedals are amazing!
This demo inspired me to buy one yesterday. Thanks very much
J awesome once again, I truly love how you harmonise songs, not to mention the choice of them !
Fantastic! 🎼🎸😎👍I had a feeling this would be next in the range. In fact, I've been typing 'Synth9' into google in the off-chance that there might be some news on it!! I agree with another commentator though; a Multi9 (with a preset function like the Pog2) would also be awesome.

Some nice sounds in there.
This guy is a fkin genius.
Love this and all the EH pedals, Especially the organ ones and the Mel9. Also noting the great amp simulator and the VG99 in the background.........
Fantastic demo! Autobahn!!!!
Great Demo Bill...………...you did a good job explaining all the features. Really helped me make up my mind on which synth pedal to buy.....Great job and great playing!
Omg yes even closer we need a vintage video game pedal for is chiptunes players with sounds like the Nintendo sega snes Atari c64 macintosh apple 2
But specially the nes RP2A03/RP2A07 microprocessor there's whole bands in the chiptune genre spending wads on old computers and midi modules or crazy octave fuzz boxes to get this sound
I'd buy 2 I swear
Loving the b9 c9 mel 9 and now I have to grab this synth 9
Lol my poor wallet
Just got the black light poster too
I love you ehx
Seriously tho the chip 9 or game 9 something dooooo it plz
sirkreuab The 8-bit 9
Darren Krieghauser they are not all 8bit but if it gets the point across works for me
Would be awesome to make cool grooves like the band anamanaguchi
Or play songs from castlania and megaman
I'm in SHOCK!!!!!!!!! I have the Ravish, B9, and C9. This effect pedal is beyond my wildest dreams! Callin' SWEETWATER right NOW!
FLASHLIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
I just can't seem to get enough...
stuart9534803 haha
How well does this work tracking bass?
CommonTroll works fine, low in first position it gets a bit hairy, but high up it sounds perfect, perfectly useable
Just amazing!!! I need this in my life :D
Well Ravish Sitar pedal, you served me well but it looks like it's time to trade you in. I NEED THIS.
NO! They are cool together
EHX I'm definitely feeling persuaded here..
Great demo
Ok 3:00 sold me. I'm buying one now :)
Very good video, to the point, clear and informative...!!
Congrats and thanks.
I want to steal that opening bit so harddd
Holy, just went through the C9, Key9 and now this and I don't know which one I want more. That opening solo is so thoroughly Keith Emerson. Soon as I have $250 to spare I'll be making some weird sounds for sure...
Likewise , but I think I’m gonna get the Mel first
Sounds amazing.
I've never had a better excuse to save up money in my life.
Peter Gabriel? I'm SOLD.
Loving the Genesis and Peter Gabriel tunes in this. It sounds decent (and likely good enough) but even his examples have layers on layers. How many guys on stage will need to play one to get the sound you're after?
I can't wait to get one of these!
Now that's some Space Age©️ technology !
Electro Harmonix is the real deal. Experimentation, mind-blowing quality sounds n' shit.
I want this pedal and that super pulsar omg
Sheesh you really indulged your eighties play list for this didn't you?
I might buy two, one to use the Mini Moog effect and the other for the Prophet effect, both to enhance my solos live, since I would always double them on keys in the studio, this takes out a whole lot of work for me.
Oh Dear, Another pedal I can't afford but want :O(
really love this... ! gonna buy it
I’m pretty sure all my pedals are gonna be EHX pedals for now on
I am still waiting for a EHX pedal that can create the synth solo from Queen - I Want To Break Free. Roland Jupiter 8
I have a Mel 9. I'm sold on this one too. Can't wait to pick one up. Both of those pedals will destroy!!!!!!!!!!
I am so getting this immediately. I have most of the other *9 pedals already :-) Now I hope EHX can make a pedal that gives the sounds of Pat Metheny's synth guitar.
Where can you get this pedal from? Cant find it for sale anywhere,, doh!
Riffbear any of your favorite music stores can order this direct from EHX.
We are building it now for shipment in March.
Ok thank you - Just have to find a dealer in Australia.
I don't know what I would use this for but I need it!
Wow ...the playing hooked me in...
Have you guys thought about making a new physical EHX Mini synth?
We have the app so not for now Rich
OMG!!! I want that pedal right ##%@** now!
wow, this impresses me
The autobahn demo is very catchy....
AHH! AWESOME! Will this work pretty good with a bass guitar as well???
Down to the low A open string
Ruppert's hand comfortably spans from the 1st to the 6th fret. I can barely make it to the 4th.
Incredible! I need to get one of these.
*Very cool !!*
Great!!!
...take my frickin' money.
This is worth the buy just to crank out Ashes to Ashes and other Bowie stuff.
I'm happy with my pedal ! At first I had to get my head out of my own a*s and re-evaluate my reason for buying it. I sad to myself, "self.... it's not a fucking GR-55 ! It's a simple pedal that has nice pad sounds. That's what you bought for (Sam Kinison) !!" The Synth 9 can put down some gooey sounds without a midi pick up. I wish I could smoke it.
Very good demo video, thank you!
I want this so badly!
wonderful.
I mean it's cool but I already have an ehx microsynth. Which can't do everything this can. It's monophonic for one thing but that can be cool. If they put a switch on this to switch between mono and poly, that would be excellent.
beatle pete yes if it has a pickup or I guess you could mic it. You need to feed a signal to the pedal input.
If these had a USB or Bluetooth editor it would be extra amazing.
what have you done, EHX?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????????????
When is this available? I need for a show in a couple of weeks lol this perfect!!!
Mini some time in March. tThe price is $221.30 US
bit of a specific price haha
Damn...any used ones for $150 yet 😂😂😂
Love the whole line please ask rnd to make a chiptune pedal Nintendo and arcade game music synths please pretty please
