Sent Oz Music an email this morning asking them to let me know when they're available and order me one. I cc'd you, Steve, just to see if we get something back soon. Cheers! Captain Strings, I've seen the Mellotron pedal and it looks really cool as well. Love those vintage keyboard sounds. And like others and Bruce have said, the upkeep and maintenance on those old analog keyboards is a pain in the butt. I sold off all my old analog keyboards when I went to Japan, and although I miss their fat sounds, I don't miss the clutter and the maintenance. Always scrounging for a part, keys that stick or won't trigger, etc. A good sampler replaces all of them. Although, I would like to have the ARP 2600 around that I learned sound synthesis programming on, as a museum piece if nothing else (it's still in the basement studio at KSU, frustrating new generations of musicians who wonder how anyone ever made music with those dinosaurs.) This doesn't replace Pitch to MIDI for me, but who needs it when it sounds this good? I'll let the forum know what I hear back on ordering one! --Steve

Re: EHX SYNTH9 y'all progmeisters!-DBRO
I have the C9 and Mel9 both are great... seems EHX on this pedal has built in ta much needed compressor. I wish this one came out first!

Re: EHX SYNTH9 y'all progmeisters!-DBRO
All of the "9" pedals are cool. Does anyone know how this one would compare with the Boss SY-300? The other "9" pedals seem to do things that the SY-300 can't do, but I am not so sure about the SYNTH9. I am sure the SY-300 costs a bunch more than the SYNTH9, but still.

Re: EHX SYNTH9 y'all progmeisters!-DBRO
I'm interested in seeing how this works with Bass (bass register). I've always wanted that phat bass synth sound.

Reading about it at Sound on Sound, they said the high range goes to fret 23 on the highest string of a guitar, and down to the low A string of a bass guitar. Which leaves my bottom two NS/Stick strings out of it. Just thought I'd point that out, Dean.

Re: EHX SYNTH9 y'all progmeisters!-DBRO
I was very interested in the Mel9 pedal till I heard the demo. Maybe the player giving the demo didn't know quite how to use it, but it just didn't have the oomph I was expecting. Or perhaps that would be taken care of after the pedal with some gain or EQ or something. I do have the B9 pedal and use it often in conjunction with the organ sounds of the GR 20(B9 on bass side/GR20 on melody). The main drawback to the B9, and I imagine this would go for all of them, is the way it works with notes sounded in an arpegiated manner. The first notes sound great, but notes played after don't ring out as loud or as long. Maybe that is just the way the pedal has to process the signal. This also is a problem if you want to hold down a chord with one hand and play melody with the other.
Still, over all I guess, a pretty useful tool. And way more cost effective(not to mention less that can go wrong) than a gk-3 pickup and GR20 type unit. And no mis-triggers. Yay!!!!

http://www.soundonsound.com/news/ehx-in ... er-machineQuote: Like the previous 9-series pedals, the Synth9 works on guitar or bass without modifications, special pickups or MIDI implementation. According to Electro-Harmonix, its usable tracking range extends up to about the 23rd fret on the high-E string of a standard guitar and down to the open A-string on a bass guitar — so there’s more than enough range for the most ear-piercing synth leads and the most trouser-wobbling synth bass.

I think on the bass sounds they take the guitar and bump it down an octave. I wonder if they just didn't do it because of tracking... Maybe I can bump up my bass side an octave with the whammy and feed that into this pedal... I should stop thinking about this... I don't have the money... should practice more...

Re: EHX SYNTH9 y'all progmeisters!-DBRO
Well Russell-the first demo of the Synth-9 i thought "wow this is amazing sound" my second though was "well-out of the million options i got from my sy-300, i bet i can get those synth-9 sounds"..
