A New String to the EHX "9" Series Bow

The STRING9 follows the lineage of Electro-Harmonix's "9" pedals, designed to transform a guitar into an instrument of another realm through polyphonic digital processing. Here, the goal is clear: to recapture the spirit of string ensembles and string synths that marked pop, rock, and progressive production, while maintaining the feel of a classic guitar pedal. A notable feature in this series is the integration of a Freeze-style hold mode on three programs, perfect for layering and instantly enriching an arrangement.

Who Is the STRING9 For, and Which Styles Does It Excel In?

The STRING9 is aimed at guitarists who want to expand their sonic palette without complicating their setup: band musicians looking to fill space when there's no keyboard, composers who want to sketch orchestrations quickly, or ambient texture creators. It shines in pop, rock, indie, cinematic, ambient, and even progressive genres for expressive pads. In the studio, it allows laying down harmonic beds in no time; live, it transforms a simple rhythmic part into an orchestral backdrop without changing guitars.

Questions frequently asked

What string sounds does the Electro-Harmonix String 9 String Ensemble offer?

The rotary selector provides access to nine programs: SYMPHONIC, JUNE-O, PCM, FLOPPY, AARP, CREWMAN, and three Freeze modes. The sounds cover orchestral ensembles, string synths, and textures blending strings and synthetic brass.

Do the Freeze modes allow holding a chord?

Three dedicated programs, ORCH FREEZE, SYNTH FREEZE, and VOX FREEZE, sustain notes or chords. It then becomes possible to play another guitar part over the pad. This operation enables building layers with continuous sustain.

Is it possible to separate the dry signal from the effect?

The Dry output always delivers the input signal at unity gain, while the Effect output sends the mix adjusted with the Dry and Effect volume controls. This setup allows splitting to two separate chains or simultaneous recording of a dry track and an effected track.
