Electro Harmonix - A pioneer among effects manufacturers

Electro Harmonix (EHX) is one of the most renowned brands in the guitar effects sector and has been a guarantee for creative and high-quality pedal solutions for decades. Founded in New York in the 1960s, EHX revolutionized the market with legendary pedals such as the Big Muff and the Electric Mistress. The 9 series, which includes the STRING9, stands for innovative polyphonic sound generation that is intuitive to use and takes musicians to new sonic shores.

The STRING9 String Ensemble is the first pedal in this series to be equipped with the characteristic EHX Freeze effect - a function that is particularly impressive in ambient and cinematic contexts. Like all EHX products, the pedal is robust, stage-ready and has been developed with a clear focus on sound quality.

Technical details of the Electro Harmonix STRING9 String Ensemble

The compact housing of the STRING9 conceals a powerful sound processor that makes it possible to create realistic string sounds from a conventional guitar signal - in real time and without any perceptible latency. It is operated via five rotary controls and a footswitch, with each function logically arranged and intuitive to use.

The nine presets of the STRING9 include various string ensembles and synthesizer voicings, from classic orchestral sounds to vintage string machines and modern, synthetic pads. Each preset can be fine-tuned with two specially assigned controls (controls 1 and 2) to individually adjust the timbre, attack or modulation.

The effect and dry mix can be controlled separately, giving the guitarist full control over the overall sound. The pedal also features a dry-out socket that outputs the unaltered guitar signal with unity gain - perfect for split signals or parallel signal paths in the studio or live setup.

A real highlight is the integration of the EHX Freeze effect in three of the nine presets. This allows notes or chords to be frozen and held indefinitely, giving you goosebumps, especially with atmospheric soundscapes and soundscapes.

The pedal works with conventional guitar signals and does not require any special pickups or MIDI interfaces - simply connect your guitar, select a preset and immerse yourself in orchestral soundscapes.
