- 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.

• 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

Never, ever, forget that Mr Ruppert is an musician extraordinarie.
That's why I never miss his videos. He always sounds good no matter what.
His Demos are second to none.
Absolutely
It’s difficult to forget such a thing, unless someone removes my brain from my body, than I just might
Agreed
For the best Mr.Crowley covers in all the land
The chord at 7:51 nearly sold me the pedal by itself. Love that Bill always drops a bit of Pink Floyd whenever he is able to in these demos
Another awesome demo. Now I just need a Bill9 to make me sound good 👍
Nice one! :D
Always love ehx adverts.....like no other. Nobody does adverts quite like ehx
I am amazed at the technology behind the transformation of 6 guitar strings vibrating to the sounds I hear coming out of that little box.
Have the mel9 and the synth9 , both brilliant. This is another amazing pedal but the one I am really waiting on the Ehx guys is a grand piano 9. Now that I would buy immediately!
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 👍🏻
OMG yes, definitely - take my money now lol !!!
He's back at it again making us all feel like we need this pedal before we die
And you do!
Wow. Congrats EHX and Bill Rupert for the playing. The non-synth string sounds remind me of the old great samplers. I will buy this one.
Holy smokes, the Allan Parson Project and Tangerine Dream in a box. Amazing pedal!
You guys, seriously chill. Quit releasing godlike stuff, you're killing me.
@9:00 Bill Ruppert is one sick dude! His playing is so amazing. Just floors me.
Bill is the best guitar player in the world. he deserve more lights...
EH keeps knocking it out of the park with these. RESPECT.
Nice to see this series of pedals getting some love again!
Love that you quoted Mahavishnu on the Symphonic setting demo.
Bill Rupert rules completely.
Amazing pedal.
This is just getting ridiculously good. I love it
Bill's demos are still some of my favourite videos to date, fantastic pedal!
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.
That juno setting ! Damn, very cool.
One awesome pedal I don't need but will definitely add to my collection 😁
AWESOME!!!
This is going to be the 4th EHX 9 series in my pedalboard!
Love the demo music chosen - so many memories, so well chosen!!
Absolutely brilliant. Incredible technology.
Bill is the only reason why I watch these demos. True master
always and always,ehx is the pioneer of creating unique sounding guitar pedals,none other!
Bill is still the ultimate demo guy!!
These are some of the most eagerly awaiting videos I follow.
You guys make some of the most unique pedals out there
This is precisely summat I've been needing for a long while!
Amazing demo as usual.
I feel always inspired with new sounds after watching your demos.
I can hear Mr. Crowley being done with this pedal. I also like the AARP setting that's reminiscent of songs like Dream Weaver and even the background music for Friday The 13th, very cool.
This could be the best thing I've ever seen! Absolutely blown away but already know my guitar abilities will be lost on this pedal!
Incredible sounds! EHX does something next level here.
I finally bought it and it's the best pedal in the series so far! The freeze functions are so much more useful and beautiful than anticipated. Tracking is flawless. I could play the freeze function, walk away and listen for hours...it sounds so good!
The freeze section at the end was incredible, intense!
As always, Bill you are a treasure.
Best pedal company ever! Truly amazing stuff
You guys never disappoint. Another awesome EHX pedal!
Wow. I haven't been blown away by a pedal in a long time. I need one! Just imagine using it to play Kashmir and Stargazer!
I think so , and all the 70`s prog rock
Thanks for the demo!
Please have an excellent and awesome day!
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 :)
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
I love my Mel9. So I’m absolutely stoked for this pedal!
Definitely a very inspiring pedal. I’m very impress on how well it tracks chords, that’s worth the buy alone for that. Thanks a bunch EHX, cool product.
Fantastic demo - must buy
Thanks EHX, for these fantastic multi-effects pedal for Live Concerts, Church parties, .... Keep it up. Good job and good day
This is the one I was hoping for in the collection! Sounds incredible! Mostly though, Bill Ruppert makes it sound incredible.
The chords you play are fascinating
Your playing is unreal!
Awesome as always, Bill. I'm definitely picking one of those up!
holy shit! ELO in a box!
And I love ELO and this pedal
this is absolute genius, i love it
Wow! This sounds amazing. ...great demo!
great job! I'm grateful for your talents. I'll be buying this one too
Great pedal but I’m still waiting for woodwind/ brass9. Trumpet, sax, trombone, flute etc. Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, tower of power, and all the funk you can dig up.
That’s what I’m looking for as well!
Rich involved demo, thanx Mr. Ruppert.
The last lick demostrating the orch freeze setting was lit. Too bad we didnt get to see him playing it. Very sweet and emotive.
Nice demo of the pedal, loved it!
I'd like to know what gear was on during that lick...
Packed with great ideas, and I love a string synth. ✌️
Sounds amazing !
EHX is killing it with these things
Simply put, this pedal is prog-rock in a box. I love it.
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 :)
What a great pedal AND demo!
It is always good ide to make strings synths pedal for guitar! I appreciate this warm!🖤
Oh man, the amount of musical quotes here! Soo lovely
I would love this. So many tones so little time
Gorgeous sounds!
Love your playing ❤😊
Excellent guitar player, awesome pedal!
Love my Mel9. Might look into buying this!
Very cool, sounds excellent with headphones. Now I want one. And yes thank you Bill for your amazing skills bravo.
Extremely useful for recording
Another great pedal! 🙌
I had no clue this is possible, all my prayers have been answered
This guitar effect sounds be usefull to me and my theremin. Good to know. Im gonna purchase it in the near future! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
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!
So, how did the pedal work for you at the gig? I'm thinking about using it for the same purpose. Thank you!
Sick I love all these!I bought the Bass 9 one
Such sound, this thing is ridiculous good.
Sounds fantastic !!!! I've got the Electro-Harmonix Organ Machine, and that's Amazing !!!!
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.
Bill is a monster. Phenomenal player and . . . he started-out with Led Zeppelin. oNe LovE from NYC
that's is so cool!! I want!! Also Bill is such a great guitar player!!! Great demo!!!
Wow your voicings are amazing.
On one hand I play keyboards and can get most of these sounds. On the other hand I also play guitar.... And I haven't bought a new pedal since May...
Yeah, all the many EHX pedals I own sound great but I need one that gives me Bill Ruppert’s knowledge… Yeah, that’s the one I really want!
Niiiiiiiiccceee!!!! Cool pedal, great playing!! Oh, love that Charvel too!!!!
Guy is an awesome player.
OMG! I LOVE IT!
Beautiful pedal, my favorite so far out of the instrument simulator series.
so beautiful. Makes me want to start collecting pedals again🙃
Wow! This is really quite something. I have the Mel9 and love it. I feel like I will need to add this to my set up. I love the Vox Freeze. It's the perfect blend of synth string and choir.
wow, that sounds good!
Came for the pedal, stayed for the playing. Wow.
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!!!!
Best demo bro' ever! We @ Mark's Guitar Exchange San Diego thank you for the great pedals!
Totally - first thing I played when I got mine was the "Sweet Dreams" riff from the demo. My old fat fingers can't do the reach to the top note but easy enough to play on the B string. Sounds immense. PS: When you have a brilliant guitarist demoing - and why not - it adds to the inspiration :)
There's guitarist and then there's Bill.
That Charvel guitar is gorgeous.
Most impressive! I've enjoyed all the demos of the "9" range. I have to wonder where is the "boundary" or end to this type of development?? It's simply an amazing ride so far, great work EHX.
Bill always does a superb demo.
Sounds great.
Wow! Love it!
