The polyphonic BASS9 Bass Machine transforms a guitar into

nine different basses and requires no special pickups, MIDI or

instrument modifications. It relies on the same technology

powering all EHX 9 Series pedals, like the award winning

MEL9® Tape Replay Machine, but features a new algorithm

maximized for transposing one to two octaves down with

superior dynamics and tracking.

A rotary switch allows the user to select the sound of their choice, as follows:
• PRECISION: Pays homage to the iconic Fender P Bass®
• LONGHORN: Emulates the Danelectro® 6-string bass, ideal for baritone type tones
• FRETLESS: Features both electric and standup fretless basses.
• SYNTH: A tribute to the classic Taurus® Synthesizer
• VIRTUAL: Lets the user adjust the bass’s body density and neck length for a variety of bass sounds
• BOWED: Classic bowed bass
• SPLIT BASS: Makes it possible for the guitarist to play bass on the

lower strings (all notes below F#3) and chords or melody with the higher strings.
• 3:03: A polyphonic salute to the sought after Roland TB-303® vintage bass synth
• FLIP-FLOP: Inspired by EHX’s Octave Multiplexer, it provides a

’70s style logic driven sub-octave generator that tracks without glitches.

The pedal is equipped with independent Effect and Dry volume

controls so guitarists can precisely tune their mix at the Effects

output jack, plus an always-active Dry output jack that outputs

the input signal at unity gain.

Controls 1 and 2 have been designed to adjust specific parameters

for each of the nine programs. For example, in PRECISION, CTRL 1

controls the sub-octaves while CTRL 2 imitates the original instrument’s tone control.

The BASS9 comes equipped with a standard EHX 9.6DC200mA power supply.
