Electro-Harmonix STRING9 – Effects Pedal

The String9 gives guitarists access to rich, orchestral textures inspired by the famous string machines of the 70s and 80s. With no MIDI or special pickups, the pedal transforms your guitar's signal into warm ensemble pads, shimmering section strings, and classic cinematic layers. The unit includes nine carefully selected presets that emulate iconic instruments such as Solina ensembles, Mellotron tapes, and vintage synth strings. Thanks to dry volume, effect volume, attack controls, and two preset-specific parameters, you can create sounds ranging from soft musical backdrops to powerful orchestral accents. The tracking responds naturally to individual notes and chords, while retaining expressive details such as vibrato and dynamics. Whether you want to add a cinematic touch to a clear progression or create rich ambient textures, the String9 transforms your guitar into a nostalgic and expressive string instrument.
