Electro-Harmonix Unveils the STRING9

Electro-Harmonix Unveils the STRING9

The latest in EHX's 9 Series is designed to turn guitar tone into a string ensemble synthesizer.


The Electro-Harmonix STRING9 String Ensemble is designed to transform guitar tone into nine different orchestral and string synth sounds and requires no special pickups, MIDI or instrument modifications. Using the same technology powering all EHX 9 Series pedals, the STRING9 creates fully polyphonic tones that pay tribute to some of the most iconic string synthesizers, and now features EHX’s signature Freeze effect on 3 of the presets.
