Synthesizer pedals may be familiar, but Electro-Harmonix has developed an unparalleled suite of symphonic and synthesizer tones that could successfully place your guitar anywhere between a classical odeon and Chicago's Berlin nightclub. The String9 String Ensemble pedal features a streamlined UI that lets you easily dial in your sound, boasting a dedicated knob for selecting any of the nine onboard presets, modeled after a host of historic synth patches and iconic EHX effects. Independent effect and dry volume controls allow you to mix at the output evenly and precisely, with a separate dry output jack that reliably carries through your input signal at unity gain. Control knobs vary with each preset, tailored to maximize your modulation of these hallmark ensembles.
