Synth9 from EHX: too eighties?

Re: Synth9 from EHX: too eighties?

I left the band that I was playing a lot of 80's covers with last year. This pedal would've been perfect for that. I might still have to get one anyway!

Form a new band around this pedal!

As usual, Bill's demo sounds so good! This, a Key9 and a B9/C9 would be awesome!

YAMAHA DX7

For the mother loving most epic synth win of all time...Imo.

When and where is this beast available? Does someone have an EHX hookup??? I'll gig it on April 8th if they can get it to me!

End of March, this looks like your best bet:
Electro-Harmonix Synth9 Pre-Order - Earliest Shipment Guaranteed

I assume you'll then post a video playing "here I go again" or similar?

Honestly, it might be better to just learn those rudimentary synth lines on keys hooked up to the PA. Coming through a guitar amp, it might sound terrible.

I was thinking the same thing. If anyone sees this pedal as an easy solution to get synths into your rig, you are going to be in for a shock; it will require at least an ABY pedal, a compressor, additional cables, and a secondary amplifier on stage.

You could just run the wet out to the PA and use the dry for the normal chain.

I have the both C9 and Mel9 and I'll say this: It takes some serious skill to get the quality of sounds that you hear on EHX demos. Not that there's anything lacking on the units. It just takes some tweaking to get it into the zone and then touch and muting are everything.

Bah!

hit the clean channel, step on pedal and go.

And I have an A/B/Y...heck - it can probably run straight in to the board.

As a long-time guitar synth player, it isn't that easy. Synth through a guitar amp's clean channel sounds terrible.

I guess you can do the swooping synth solo at the end of Lucky Man. Although you might not have enough octaves for that.

Run it into the Bass DI box. Whatever...

I'm going for it!
