- The polyphonic Electro-Harmonix 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.
Learn more about the EHX Bass9 Bass Machine pedal: www.ehx.com/bass9
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.

Our bassist hasn't talked to me since i bought this pedal
You're better off dawg🤘😎
Hahahaha! At least you don’t have to argue about him being too loud anymore
LOL🤗
ahahah "out of my freqs!"
👍😂😂😂
EHX needs an all-in-one box for these 9 series pedals
The only thing missing, IMO, is portamento for the synth sounds. Maybe it's not possible for guitar without MIDI. But yeah, an all-in-one box would be epic.
Bill Ruppert’s video demos are the best!
The gentleman that does these demos is truly a great musician.
Corbin Dallas Bill Rupert is a legendary session player
@@spectre5560 Didn't know him before these EHX demos but it's not difficult at all to believe in what you say, he's a killer, holy shit...
Dudes, you have no idea how much I need this. My bands bass player just randomly up and quit last week and I found this video a week later? This is fate
Bill Ruppert is better at playing bass on a guitar than I am at playing bass on a bass. Tip of the hat.
I had to comment just so say how awesome this guy is at all of the product demos he does for you guys.
Imagine splitting your signal through A+B and sending the Bass9 to a bass amp and the other line to regular guitar pedalboard and amp for enhanced and powerful riffs and solos 🤘🤘🤘
What's next? Drums? Pretty soon you're going to see a stage full of just guitarists.
Hats off to both EHX for another gem of a pedal, and to Bill for well... just being Bill.
Bill always does such a fine job of showing what these pedals are capable of. Using examples from familiar tunes just shows how usable the sounds could be on gigs and his clear grasp of all the control features shows the possibilities built into the pedal. This isn't wasting my time watching some hack goofing for 20 minutes. I, for one, really appreciate that.
Selling all my basses now... Man this is a dream pedal for me.
Not many guitar players are able to play like a bass player. Kudos to this guitarists musicianship.
I love Bill Ruppert playing. I could watch all his videos all day on repeat just playing crazy stuff through all EHX pedals….
Same here.
Ehx...you need to make more fx boxes so the legendary Bill Ruppert can demo them. I've watched many guitarists demo products, Bill always catches the essence of a pedal by knowing what genres to apply.
❤Bill&EHX❤
Oh, by the way, the bass9 is in the mail!😎
This is one of those pedals you have been looking for your whole life. Trust me.
I think one thing that this pedal could use is an octave off (!) switch to use with bass. So that your bass can emulate all of those other basses without playing an octave down.
As a six string bass player i totally agree with this great idea. EHX please make this happen. Probably will increase sales among bass players a lot!
You need to do a guitar9 pedal for every bassist that got rid of their guitarist
Lol
Sounds awesome. Now you just need to make a GUITAR9 to make a bass sound like a guitar. I know I would buy such a pedal without thinking twice.
Wow - this simply is not your grandfather or father's Electro-Harmonix company! As what the evil geniuses over there are now doing is pure alchemy! Such well-thought-out and useful effects. Especially for guitarists multitracking their own compositions, this pedal has a really nice range of exceptionally useful and unique sounds!
I will watch Anything by: Bill Ruppert. I still Loose my mind, over his rendition of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. EHX is so innovative and Bill is just amazing.
I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG!!!!! You have no idea how madly I've needed this!!! I'm a live looper and have never felt like I could get the bass tone right. Bought a B9 tonight!
Jaco and “Stuff like that” almost brought tears to my eyes. I’ve listened to 100s of gear videos and you’re so much better than anything I’ve seen before!
Here I am, a year and a day after I got sold by this video... One of the most interesting pedals I've owned!
Thanks for dropping by again Wallace!
I am seeking a mod pedal for my bass, but with this pedal, I can simply use one of my guitars. Thanks, Bill Rupert; you are indeed, the pedal demo King!
Ridiculously good playing there Bill.
I have a lot off basses so I am waiting for a "bass to guitar" pedal. Can't wait to have a Telecaster, Stratocaster and a Les Paul sound from my Jazz bass...
thats illegal
@@bathroom681 And so is this Bass9 pedal
Fuck yeah.
Just put the bass into the pedal out and the pedal in to the amp!
Guitar in bass out ... just reverse it!
What about a EQ pedal? Or maybe EHX knockout?
Man, I just stopped here randomly and ended up watching the entire video twice - once for the pedal demo, and again for the playing! 💯
I can't believe this has been out for three years.
This is a very good pedal. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Bill Rupert makes the best video samples in the pedal market.
Just got mine yesterday, and I'm really pleased. I bought it for a standard bass sound, but I played for hours last night on the Bowed, Split, and Longhorn settings. Tons of fun.
I need this...stunning playing by the way Bill, one of the best demo videos I've ever seen!
The best reviews on the net ever. Thank you Bill!
Great playing to showcase the versatility of what this pedal can do.... But I can't believe I didn't hear a Seinfeld scene intro.
Another kick ASS demo, Bill!
I wish their was a bass input that doesn’t drop it an octave. Turning your electric into an upright for a song sounds useful
you mean a cello but tuned to 4ths?
A couple ways to reach this goal.Use a pitch fork up 1 octave first then go into this pedal.
Hey maybe get a 4 string guitar ..you could remove the 2 unwanted high strings.Any cheap lightweight electric guitar would work.
If you wanted to really spend more effort you could modify a 6 string electric with a wider nut to fit 4 strings like a baritone up a and change the bridge....Wait try a electric. Baritone uke and voila the is pedal works giving you all the bass sounds plus the uke baritone if wanted for extra or by pass the uke baritone and have only these bass sounds.
Maybe these crazy ideas will help you come up with what you want.God bless you bass player...
Just ordered this. Figured I ain't died from Covid yet, and don't want to risk trying out / touching a bunch of bass guitars at Guitar Center. EHX should develop an acoustic 9 pedal. The guitars should be hollow body, semi hollow, banjo, mandolin, ukelele, dreadnought, parlor, resonator, 12 sting, and others I can't think of. For tuning it should have a knob to instantly change tuning too, right on the pedal. Like a click knob. I like the Line 6 Variax models which "model" so many models, but I don't want another axe, I love the ones I have, just another pedal please.
An Acoustic9 sounds like a fantastic idea! A Sitar or erhu could also be cool, since they already made a sitar pedal.
@@Rob_B_93 Would like a "sanshin" from Okinawa.
Always love your demos! This pedal though , as a guitarist and bassist, this blows my mind ! The sound is amazing
That slit bass setting is aweseom!
Bill nailed the demo, again. Epic work sir.
At 11:25 you kick in with The Dance Of Maya :)
You had me at "1. Precision"
another amazing pedal from Electro-Harmonix.... INCONCEIVABLE!
Dammit, stop making new pedals every two minutes .. my wife is going to divorce me!
p.s. Looks like I'll be getting another pedal
Yup ... I can relate.
Last time I counted, it was over 50 ... picked up a few since then.
The pedal won't leave you unless she takes it.
Thank you-so cool, like all your products I’ve seen so far.
Another top demo from Bill
Great Demo, wonderful pedal, long overdue... Especially enjoyed the unexpected Birdland and Dance of Maya excerpts...
I have one -it works well. Mr. Ruppert, you are one fine fine player !
EHX releases a new 9 series pedal.
My wallet: *NEIN!*
Some of these settings I'd probably never use but I think I'm gonna get this just for the split bass setting and for "downtuned" metal riffs. Also gotta say this video has some of the best playing I've ever seen in a pedal demo. Bravo.
The synth and cello part sounded amazing! Another ehx pedal I really want, have only been able to afford one so far
I'm so happy with mine, worth it just for the split bass in a three piece band with keys and synth 😈
I’m a simple man. I hear Bill Ruppert, I press like 👍
Superb, Bill! Thanks. Amazing pedal, wonderful playing.
Thank you Allan!
Fantastic! I swear I've been submitting this as a new product idea on EHX' site and during product registration for quite a while.
Bill Ruppert always does a great job. I'm waiting for a pedal for bass players!
Really good demo... tasteful playing and great choice of songs to demonstrate the capabilities of this amazing pedal! I've put it on my wish list!! One man band here I come! :)
Wow, thanks for the fantastic Jaco-like playing! Great samples and performances 🤟
Incrível essa demonstração, Bill, vc é o cara !!
EH!!!!!! I LOVE THE 9 SERIES!!!!!!!! For home recording I've got all the keyboards and bass I need in my 🎸. No need to explain, nope like this, instead I can commit all the way I want it to sound. There will be NO END to my megolomania! I AM EVERYTHING!!!!!!!
Brilliant.... Bill you sell it well.
Bill makes this pedal sound really coool!!
What about a Guitar 9, that turns a bass into a guitar?
I am waiting for Awesome9 pedal which will turn my crappy playing into something awesome
Bass 9 e Mel 9, vão ser a combinação perfeita pra mim. Grandes pedais !!
Fantastic Bill Ruppert !
Awesome! I love playing bass on guitar. Just ordered this pedal and eagerly waiting for it to arrive :D btw: awesome playing of Bill too !
I'm waiting for a video with Bass9 Bass Machine on actual bass ;)
Bill, we’ll done, LOVED the Weather Report riffs..!!
I have one of these for my looping and it’s brilliant
Wow! I could hear this at Church for the upbeat songs we play and a couple of funky styles added for punch (Jump blues, Swing, little Latin too)
Spectacular. Gonna purchase ASAP.
Imagine if we got a pedal with all of the 9 series pedals together.
🤔 EHX Tri-Parallel Mixer can blend them in
parallel instead of series... amazing pedal!
I thought I wouldn’t like this pedal...now I want it!!!
That "Wichita Lineman" quote made me so happy. That was a great moment in 6 string bass/pop music history.
Great salesman this guy... such good technique too. Super knowledgeable on styles. Worth watching just to pinch ideas.
Thank you Chris!
Back in the day, I experimented with one of my 5 string basses: removing the B and E strings from the bottom end and adding a C and F string to the top of a 34" scale bass neck. I loved it for what is was: a tenor 5 string bass. At times, however, I missed not having the original low end, but I didn't want to negotiate the massive width of a 6 or 7 string bass. I tried the available octave dividers, but...they were glitchy and synthetic sounding...great for certain applications (Pino Paladino) ...but not so good for most. Man....I could have used something like this then. What could have been. Great product, and if I ever get the band back together, so to speak, this would be my first purchase.
coming from marketplace, checked this out. thx for your work.
Love the 9 series peddles ! And I’m a violinist ! This one is next for the board !!
“Halfway through I’ll turn up the sub control to bring down the mudflaps”. 😆 #SpinalTap
Best product videos ever
So.. the bassist "you know what's going on here..?"
You are fired !! 😂
lmao
Cool Pedal, seems very useful. Love the bowed bass sound. I can think of lots of uses for this. I actually play bass quite a bit as well as guitar but this would be super handy during solo gigs i'm sure. Bravo!
Great playing!
This pedal sounds amazing
FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this for 20 years and only got close a few times. I almost bought the TC Electronics Voice Live 3 for this feature only.....glad I waited! Great demo all around!
That helps, especially since I bought an RG-550PN at the start of the year. :). Thanks
finaly a good sounding guitair
This thing is magical AF! take my money!!!
89 k visitas y solo yo coloco un me gusta...!!!!!!!!!
Pedal impresionante. Excelente...!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That last jam....oh my!
Wow! I've been looking for a pedal like this for years. I was gonna buy a Baritone guitar, but not now. Thanks.
sounds HUGE!
Ughh i can finally get rid of the octave pedal, didnt know this was out there! Stoked
After carefully watching this review, I've decided to hire the guitarist.
Love this
That is VERRRY COOOOL
This is a great pedal !!!
Amazing. SOLD!!
OMG I NEED THIS!!!
"bring down the mud flaps" lol, I like that.
i was sold with that mahavishnu riff, superb demo as usual!
