Electro-Harmonix XO String9 String Ensemble

Electro-Harmonix XO Die-Cast series

The polyphonic STRING9 String Ensemble transforms a guitar into nine different string ensembles and string synthesizers while requiring zero modifications, special pickups, or MIDI implementation. It relies on the same technology powering all EHX 9 Series pedals. In a 9 Series first, the STRING9 includes the signature EHX Freeze effect on 3 of the presets to sample and hold notes and chords with infinite sustain.

A rotary switch on the STRING9 allows the player to select the sound of their choice, as follows:

• SYMPHONIC: Re-creates the sound of a large symphony orchestra and features an octave-down effect on the lower range of the guitar for a full sound


• JUNE-O: Emulates the Juno® analog string synthesizer sound


• PCM: Sound of a small string section sampled by a vintage PCM keyboard producing a warm vintage string sound


• FLOPPY: Emulates the sound of an Orchestron® optical disc playback sampler, warble included


• AARP: Emulates the classic ARP Solina® string synthesizer


• CREWMAN: Emulates the Crumar Performer® analog string and brass synthesizer; Floyd in a box


• ORCH FREEZE: Orchestral sound with EHX Freeze effect


• SYNTH FREEZE: String synthesizer sound with EHX Freeze effect


• VOX FREEZE: Mellotron® choir and strings sound from the EHX MEL9 with EHX Freeze effect


• The pedal is equipped with independent Effect and Dry volume controls so players can precisely tune their mix at the Effects output jack, plus a Dry output jack that always outputs the input signal at unity gain.

Controls 1 and 2 have been designed to adjust specific parameters for each of the nine programs adding usability and flexibility to each sound.
