SYNTH9

Synthesizer Machine

Congratulations on purchasing the Electro-Harmonix SYNTH9 Synthesizer

Machine. The SYNTH9 does for analog synthesizers what the B9 did for organs

and the KEY9 did for electric pianos: now anyone with an electric guitar can play

analog synth emulations of classic Moog®, Oberheim®and ARP®synthesizers,

amongst others, without the need for extra devices such as cumbersome 13-pin

MIDI pickups!

WARNING: Your SYNTH9 comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI power

supply (same as used by Boss®& Ibanez®: 9.6 Volts DC 200mA). The SYNTH9 requires

100mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong adapter or a plug with the

wrong polarity may damage your SYNTH9 and void the warranty.

GETTING STARTED

Connect the supplied power adapter to the 9V power jack. Plug your instrument

into the INPUT jack. Connect your amp to the SYNTH OUTPUT jack. Set the DRY

knob to minimum (fully counterclockwise) and set the other top row knobs to 12

o’clock. Select a preset (“OBX” is a good starting point) and step on the

footswitch to turn on the LED. Play your instrument and adjust controls to your

liking. For further inspiration check out the SYNTH9’s SUGGESTED FACTORY

SETTINGS insert. Make copies of the included SYNTH9 USER SETTINGS page to

keep track of your favorite sounds and settings.

CONTROLS AND I/O JACKS

DRY VOL KNOB

The DRY VOL knob controls the volume of the untreated instrument signal

present at the SYNTH OUTPUT jack.

SYNTH VOL KNOB

For all presets except MINI MOOD, the SYNTH VOL knob controls the overall

volume of the selected preset at the SYNTH OUTPUT jack. In MINI MOOD,

SYNTH VOL controls the volume of the non-portamento synthesizer; CTRL 1

controls the volume of the portamento synthesizer.

CTRL 1 & CTRL 2 KNOBS

See the preset descriptions on the following pages for details.

PRESET KNOB

Turn the white numbered knob to select a preset sound.

INPUT JACK

Plug your instrument or the output of another effects pedal into this ¼” jack.

See Tips 1 & 2 on the following page for more on connecting your SYNTH9.

DRY OUTPUT JACK

The DRY OUTPUT jack outputs the signal present at the INPUT jack through a

buffer circuit. In either EFFECT or BYPASS mode, the dry signal is always present

at the DRY OUTPUT jack.

SYNTH OUTPUT JACK

The SYNTH OUTPUT jack outputs the mix set by the DRY and SYNTH volume

controls. In BYPASS mode, SYNTH OUTPUT outputs the buffered bypass signal.

BYPASS FOOTSWITCH

Press the BYPASS footswitch to toggle the SYNTH OUTPUT jack between

buffered BYPASS and EFFECT mode. The status LED lights when you are in

EFFECT mode.

PRESET DESCRIPTIONS

1. OBX –An emulation of the meaty sounding Oberheim®OB-X. CTRL 1 is a

tone control. Use CTRL 2 to select between 4 octaves.

2. PROFIT V –The Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 provides inspiration for our

versatile PROFIT V preset. CTRL 1 adjusts the sweep time of a downward

filter envelope. CTRL 2 selects between 8 intervals of either octaves or 5ths.

3. VIBE SYNTH –A polyphonic synthesizer with decaying harmonic content

and vibrato. CTRL 1 sets the power and sweep range of harmonics. CTRL 2

adjusts both vibrato rate and depth simultaneously. As you turn CTRL 2

clockwise the vibrato rate and amount increases.

4. MINI MOOD –A big sounding Moog®inspired synthesizer that blends a

portamento synth with a non-portamento synth. (Portamento is when notes

glide from one to another.) Turn the SYNTH VOL knob to set the volume of

the non-portamento synthesizer. Use CTRL 1 to adjust the output volume of

the portamento notes. CTRL 2 sets portamento time. This preset works best

when you play monophonically, one note at a time, where every note is

picked.

To play faster licks, try turning down CTRL 1.

5. EHX MINI –An emulation of the classic Electro-Harmonix Mini Synth. CTRL

1 sets filter envelope sweep time and direction. When CTRL 1 is set to a

point within its counter-clockwise range, it sets the attack time for the filter

sweep; when set clockwise beyond “noon” it controls the decay time of the

filter sweep. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.

6. SOLO SYNTH –A fuzz-synth preset where a synth oscillator and a fuzz

square wave guitar are combined to create one single extreme synth tone!

CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2 selects between 4 octaves.

7. MOOD BASS –The Mini Moog®and Taurus pedals served as inspiration for

this preset. MOOD BASS works best when played monophonically. CTRL 1

adjusts the sweep time of a downward filter sweep. CTRL 2 chooses

between 3 octaves.

8. STRING SYNTH –Our emulation of an ARP®string synth. CTRL 1 is a tone

control. CTRL 2 sets filter sweep attack time.

9. POLY VI –Inspired by the Korg®Polysix. CTRL 1 is a tone control. CTRL 2

sets modulation depth.

TIPS ON GETTING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM THE SYNTH9

1. The SYNTH9 is generally best used as the first pedal in an effects chain.

Place modulation, delay, and reverb effects after the SYNTH9. The unit will

not perform well if placed in the effects loop of a guitar amp.

2. For optimal playability, set the guitar’s pickup selector to the bridge pickup

and turn the volume knob all the way up (“10”).

3. Avoid placing a distortion or overdrive in front of the SYNTH9, which could

muddy up the input signal and cause the tracking to be unstable. If you

want to add overdrive or distortion, place it after the SYNTH9.

4. The SYNTH9 has a built in compressor that is active on the synth sounds at

all times. We recommend you do not insert another compressor into your

signal chain while the SYNTH9 is in effect mode.

5. The usable tracking range on the SYNTH9 extends up to about the 23rd fret

on the high-E of a standard guitar and down to the open A-string on a bass

guitar. The SYNTH9 sounds equally good on bass as it does guitar.
