I know, right?! Maybe they're trying to shift as many of the individual pedals as they can before they move on to combining them all into one, multi-effects unit? 🤷🏻♂️
Also, add MIDI control to these pedals. When you have such a range of sounds it would be great for a pedal switcher to be able to select which sound you need for each song.
Think because they're still making more money shifting separate units, so people buy more than one because they want different sounds. It's always easier to shift multiple small expensive things than one big exlensive thing. If it had all the sounds they would have to sell it in a bigger box and it'd have to be a more expensive product (people already find the 9 series expensive). That means people are gonna have to pay for a bunch of sounds they may not care for, and a lot of them use these only once or twice in their set. It'd also be a device with less identity in sound and aesthetics, just how real keyboards people will pay much more for a limited but quirky monosynth designed in the 70s than a bunch of more versatile and modern workstation keyboards flooding the local classifieds. The "all in one" solution has often felt like a no-brainer for many products, but such things often aren't as affordable, easy to use or sexy as the consumers like to imagine them, so such products fail, and the company is staking a lot of its future on just that one product. What the people want and what they're willing to buy are very different things. If they do announce such a box it'll mean the sales of the 9 pedals are dwindling and they'll be discounting them, cutting their losses while still myking money of the technology.
I own a Synth 9 and would love to add this! One general remark: I find it typical how all guitarists always keep some dry signal in. In the excellent Synth 9 demo this is avoided and then the pedal shows its true versatility. Stop thinking like guitarists. These pedals are meant to actually widen your palette. Not only to colour it. 😁
I completely agree with your comment. There's a software that turns the guitar into a midi controller and, unlike other hardware solutions, you can use almost any guitar with it. I have been obsessing with cobbling up some sort of multieffects around it (Midi Guitar 2 by Jam Origin), especially since mini PCs are now more affordable.
For real. I got a whole synth board layout and it’s awesome but whenever anyone tries it out they play like a guitar player (shitty ones at that) and be like “I don’t think it’s for me” well that could be but being a musician is pretty fun with these things.
EHX should do like Dr. Scientist does and offer the EEPROMs for sale on their website so you can switch out algorithms on various of their pedals. Really enjoyable demo!
I've been asking them to give us a multi-effects pedal for years. Something simple like the plethora X5 or the boss m90 but in a style, uniquely electro harmonics. And yes, a multi-effects from this series would be great too!
This is awesome. $250 for all 7 is a steal. I have all 7 and payed an average of $200 for each one. My Synth 9 and Key 9 are from 2019 and the rest are from 2022. I'll sacrifice the Key 9 for this dastardly transplant! lol. Thanks for sharing.
You're getting your currencies mixed up, I'm afraid. I paid £250, which is just over $300usd. Still a bargain though, you're right! I hope you're able to get your pedal modded! 👍🏼
That's awesome I have the digitech xp all pedal that is kinda the same thing it has all four xp series pedals in one enclosure and they could easily add the mono synth and bass mono synth to the same nine series pedal and just get everything they got in the same enclosure in one pedal that would be super cool since I only ever seen to like one or two sounds from each pedal it would really save me a lot of money so I don't feel like I paid 120$ for like two good sounds that id probably not use very often it's why I sold most of my synth pedals in the first place but I saved the source audio c4 synth since it does everything even more than I even understand
more like the digitech xp series. it is a little more hacky than the fv-1 as it has the switching by design. The bitquest does a similar thing though with the clean and fuzz eeproms which is why it cant switch between them seamlessly
I guess their sales MODEL (pun intended) is to sell as many units as possible. Just like Eventide did with their high end guitar pedals. As long as they sell well enough as they are EH are however not likely to change that policy. These brands are simply too small to compete with the big brands “flavour of the day” marketing. I can respect that. But one can always hope. Maybe one day, if they at last run out of stock. 😁
Why would EHX want to lose profits by selling an all in one? For them to make it commercially viable the price on an all in one would be quite high. Sure it’s a great idea for us but probably not a great idea for sustained business.
Oh yeah, for sure. But these pedals have all been around for years at this point. Surely they've already sold most of the units they will ever need to build by now? If so, a new pedal that combines all of these effects into one - potentially POG3-style enclosure - would be a welcome release? Even if it ends up costing as much as the POG3, I think it would still be worth it to have easy access to all 63 effects, with a display to keep track of what's loaded up, as well as presets, stereo, and other features.
Unfortunately, those pedals are in a different format/layout than the 9 series, as they have two footswitches, 11 modes, a preset slot, as well as expression control. But yeah, it would be cool if it were possible!
I'm sure they would, if they felt it was profitable to offer a new product now that the individual pedals have been out for so many years. Personally, now that the POG3 has come out, I could definitely see them releasing a multi-effects unit in that same form factor, with all of the 9-series, mono synth, Ravish Sitar, and maybe a few other weird effects, all packed into the one unit. No doubt for a £600-700 price tag, of course. I guess we'll see what happens!
Yeah, it would be like them releasing a POG3 when there's already a POG, Micro POG, Nano POG, Pico POG, POG2, Pitch Fork, Pitch Fork Pico, and a Pitch Fork Plus....oh wait
I showed the relevant pedal that was loaded up at each point in the video, to make it as easy as possible for people to keep up with what each effect was. But I guess you can't please everyone. 🤷🏻♂️
*Here are some gutshots of the modification, for those who are curious:*
imgur.com/a/Yn6v6HZ
Please grant us all how to find or make one. Is there a PCB or eproms available? This is something similar to the digitech XP1000
I've included all the information I can in the description. 🤷🏻♂️
This could literally be their answer to the sy1 and would sell bucketloads, come on ehx, what are you waiting for?!?!!
I know, right?! Maybe they're trying to shift as many of the individual pedals as they can before they move on to combining them all into one, multi-effects unit? 🤷🏻♂️
That's exactly what I've been thinking. Why not, old Mike? 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

@@modularcuriositySure! They have to make a big box, like the POG 3, with the all 9 series sounds and add midi, presets and expression pedal input.

Man, if they did this with all the Universal Audio pedals, that would be crazy. Awesome, I always figured there was a way.
very clever editing the models over the unit. Nice!
Thank you! 😊
This is the thing EHX need to make: a mic of all the 9 pedals with the best-most used settings with a better A/B signal path.

I try so hard to think like a basson player.

Seems like this pedal needs an EQ pedal after it FOR SURE! Great video!
I now have ABBA's Summer Night City stuck in my head. Thanks.

I was thinking this, EHX must do it.
One to rule them all!
I have been wanting this so bad for so long
everyone begging EHX to do this from day 1

Guess im going to learn to make one of these
😝 Please do! And please also learn how to add a small, numerical display to show which of the 7 EEPROMs is currently loaded! 😜👍🏼
Och, imagine this on the effects loop of the superego. Nomnom.
really nice pedal but the video is so clever
Haha, thanks! ☺️🙏🏼
What a cool edition - however did you come across that - looks like some enterprising fellow from Newcastle was responsible!
Ha! Very possible... 😉
Great Idea!!!
I would want to be able to fill the 9 positions with patches from different eproms. Like 2 from synth, 2 from string, 2 from Mel, you get the idea.
Oh yeah, that would be very cool! Like a sort of "greatest hits"!
Like the Jetpac mod for the Digitech XP series.
oh sweet heavenly jeebus this is awesome. ive wanted all of these. now you are done can i have them please?
Haha, sorry but this one is staying with me for a very, *very* long time! 😎
@@PedalExperiments well i need to find out how to do this mod then!! ;)
So this is like a typical FV-1 pedal- all eight programs plus the default patch are available using a rotary switch? Daaaaaayum.
Not sure an FV-1 is capable of producing the superior quality pitch effects needed to recreate these sounds, tbh. But in principle, yes!
Apparently these pedals use a Blackfin chip and aren't FV-1 based
more like the digitech xp series. it is a little more hacky than the fv-1 as it has the switching by design. The bitquest does a similar thing though with the clean and fuzz eeproms which is why it cant switch between them seamlessly
Thanks all - I look forward to learning these platforms 🤘🙏
I would buy this today if available
I'm sure everyone would! Let's hope they realise what a gold mine they're sitting on, very soon!

Excellent, the only problem is, what happens if you want say 4 different sounds at once?
You buy four pedals. 😝
A looper?
Lord Purple into a Tube Screamer?
So you’re going to do a giveaway right? 😅😅😅😅
Haha! I mean, I *will* be when I reach 10k subscribers....but this pedal definitely won't be among the prizes on offer. 😝
Bro you using for editing videos, that app name is:-power director editing app...😅 i know😇😊
It is, yes. Great app! 👍🏼
How do you know which pedal mode it is in? Just cycle?
Yeah, pretty much! It's not as annoying as it sounds. 😊
"the whole nine yards"
Oh man, that would have been such a better title for this video! *Damn it!* 😄
Perfect name for the pedal lol
I would buy one of these. But instead of buying all of them ill just buy a boss synth system.
Sounds like a bargain
There’s a bargain pedal?, it doesn’t sound like any kind of gain pedal at all

Too bad they couldn't fit the Mono Synth and Bass Mono Synth pedals in there too.
Unfortunately, those pedals are in a different format/layout than the 9 series, as they have two footswitches, 11 modes, a preset slot, as well as expression control. But yeah, it would be cool if it were possible!
*pulls up credit card* where and when? 😅
I'm sure a person could get great pads out of using these with a sustainiac.
Oh yeah, absolutely! Putting this pedal in the effects loop of a Superego would be a gamechanger.
They’ll Never do it. They’d kill their profits. Profits are #1 👍🏻
I'm sure they would, if they felt it was profitable to offer a new product now that the individual pedals have been out for so many years.

I guess we'll see what happens!
You wouldn't download a pedal.
🤣
No company will ever do this because then people will realize they've been buying overpriced locked down software boxes.
You guys are dreaming..... I'd bet they'd NEVER release that. Itd be financial suicide.
Yeah, it would be like them releasing a POG3 when there's already a POG, Micro POG, Nano POG, Pico POG, POG2, Pitch Fork, Pitch Fork Pico, and a Pitch Fork Plus....oh wait
I think this is a good indicator of how overpriced digital pedals are.
show the actual pedal. We don't need the visuals. It makes it seem like bunk.
It’s bunk
