Eventide H9 - 5 More Killer Tones!

[@thomasmullin9315]

Leon, I am never disappointed with the H9 demos - in fact there is a Facebook user group where I always point folks to your series on this! Well done, man!!!

[@xVinceCx]

The chorus without the wobble! Brilliant! Thank youl

[@GurtejSinghGuitar]

Killer tones bro! I really enjoyed the detune and the tricerachorus! The glorious EVH era tones. Great video 😊

[@chiefbucknell]

I got an H9 Max Dark, and it seems there is a dearth of videos digging into the H9, when compared to more in vogue pedals. All this is to say: I really enjoy and appreciate your H9 videos!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Very cool. Loved that ducking delay, the chorus and micropitch. Those were my favs, but they all sounded great man.

[@roblucchesi2731]

I have a h3000 and now I want a more simplified h9. Awesome review. 👍

[@jimmccall8030]

So good and so helpful in getting more out of my H9. Yes, please cover as many algorithms as you can.

[@mattemeny2606]

Loving these Eventide reviews, Leon. You have sold me

[@208414]

That P-90 LP sounds so good.

[@DLR1976]

I have this H9 Maxed out and sounds great, the only thing i regret is the lag between preset changes something i don’t have when i use my TC G Major FX unit.

[@MultiMelodymaker]

Always wanted a H9. Might get one next year I reckon.

[@TechMetalRules]

Thank you... I just made the "Symphonic" preset in the H90! I also added a nice reverb and named the program "Zakk Attakk"

[@LeonTodd]

Very cool! How good is the H90 hey

[@TechMetalRules]

@LeonTodd Wait... you have the Stevie Ray Vaughan signature Roland rack reverb... any idea what Zakk's settings were, and if there's an algorithm in the H90 that might get close? I just went with the vintage stereo setting in the SP2016 algo for now.

[@nickybhoof]

yo i been playing guitar since I was 14 (31 now) and god damn dude I am jealous of your chops. you play so fkn well, im buying this pedal.

[@srnicho]

Used to get a similar symphonic sound out of the AD A using the chorus on that unit. Was a Michael Wagner "Skid Row" patch I believe called "Liquid Grind"? Was my "Go To" tone!

[@LeonTodd]

The ADA chorus rips hey

[@slappywag7210]

That Andy Summers clean just takes you back in time

[@officialpoa3171]

*hey that edit when you said let's get into it, that was great keep doing that!*

[@SweetcornTA]

A good addition to the H-9 is a blender pedal to get analog dry through. The h-9 is the one pedal on my board that just does something negative to the dry tone. The FX in parallel are awesome

[@skeletonmodel]

Do you have Kill Dry selected in the settings maybe? There are different modes of bypass you can select

[@SweetcornTA]

@@skeletonmodel yes when running it in parallel you have to use kill dry.

[@wolfnstrings]

Ok, ok Leon... I bought one. I plan to pair it with an Axe FX FM3. Please keep up the H9 demo sounds. As usual, you are doing a fantastic job. Thank you for all that you do.

[@MKRISING75]

Glorious detune sounds that’s what I’m talking LEON!!!You get the BIG DOG AWARD for this video!🤘Rock on

[@glenn3914]

great video, never reakky understood ducked delay until you explained it,.. well, learned something new, also liked the zak chorus sound

[@LeonTodd]

Glad it helped!

[@daveryan2148]

Dude you got wild on your intro to to the h3000 micropitch jam!

[@keeprocking3620]

Love the taped off logo on the headstock 😆

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

I love the little I've had a chance to play with the H9 Max. I quickly realized thanks to buying mine MUCH cheaper than new price, I need at least one other pedal... enter the Eventide Time Factor :) (also cheaper). I think that plus my POD HD500X should be ok now. Wife may not be thrilled though :).

[@LeonTodd]

I loooove the TF, one of my favourite pedals ever

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

@@LeonTodd I can see why. I’m more a power ballad type guy, this should fit really well into that too.

[@Krispy1011]

I think that Les Paul sounds killer with the H9 - WOW!

[@bcholm1]

I am behind on this video but dude you do the best vids. Keep going brother!

[@LeonTodd]

I appreciate that!

[@cabedin]

congratulations from Spain! it's so good to see someone using this pedal properly... great tones! it really sounds great!

[@LeonTodd]

Cheers!

[@giovannifortuna785]

Hi Leon Todd, beautiful your sounds, thank you very much for your IR cabs you are the number one! Greetings from Italy

[@LeonTodd]

Glad you like them! So glad to hear that :)

[@RobbieR0XX]

Curious to know what symphonic into micropitch would sound like

[@seventhsealhere]

Ah, shimmer chorus! What amp model were you using, it sounded massive! 👍

[@LeonTodd]

USA Lead Mid Gain!

[@aviator_bryan]

I have 2 H9 Max’s from previous boards. I would imagine that the fractal could match many of these fx.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah I've been able to replicate most of these with the Axe. The H9 is still worth having for the plug and play inspiration though.

[@scottpeters4401]

Wow,that sounds almost identical to the Symphonic mode on the SPX90.....does it really sound that close in the room??...My brand new AxeFXIII will be here Tuesday,I may have to grab an H9 to go with it......I love that SPX90 thing..

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah check out my spx90 V H9 V axefx comparison vid!

[@xdiaba]

Hi Leon, how you use this pedal in your chain, FXLoop?, in series with a dist/od pedal?, Wet Dry?

[@MaloneTattoo]

How’s your signal path, is the h9 in kill dry or series?

[@johnfritzenjr.1240]

My favorite guitar

[@nikodimson]

1.23-1.30 where this solo is from anybody tell me please? Its beautiful

[@michaelwhiton7808]

Sounds amazing! How would you compare the EVH style detune vs the detune in the Fractal? I know the Eventide is what Eddie really used...Is there a big difference? Thanks for all the awesome videos!

[@frama7844]

Godammit ... in need a 2nd H9 😀

[@mkbmj]

Why is the Epiphone logo covered with tape?

[@jamesprice6381]

Leon, are u plugged into a computer ta get the tweak view? Thx! Love the Lester! :)

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah, you can use a computer via USB or a tablet/phone via bluetooth

[@bryanlewis9575]

What were you using as distortion when doing the "Zack Wild" Chorus Symp and "Van Halen" micropitch H3000 micropitch samples? Those were awesome sounds!

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks mate. Using the Axe-Fx "USA Lead Mid Gain" amp model there

[@bryanlewis9575]

@@LeonTodd Ahh, Thanks! By the way, I forgot to mention how much I appreciate your videos. I am from the hair metal age and you are mesmerizing with your musical abilities... Music has been a focus of mine forever (I'm 55 now), I've been playing guitar for 42 years (on/off) and you are a bright beam of light to myself and looks like many others too. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing!

[@LeonTodd]

@@bryanlewis9575 thanks for the kind words mate. I started getting serious about guitar at a similar age and I hope I'm enjoying guitar, and music in general, for as long as possible!

Hi leon Can you get the john sykes tone from the whitesnake album

[@duncancartledge1667]

Picked up a used H9 Max yesterday. Where to go for ideas? Only 1 answer as always…. Leon! Thanks again 👍😎

[@LeonTodd]

Congrats mate! What modes are you liking best so far?

[@duncancartledge1667]

@@LeonTodd there were a lot of presets from previous owner, worship type patches so not really my thing, spent a big part of today registering and resetting. I’m really blown away by the quality of the sounds… had a quick run through of the presets then spent about 2 hours playing and only used the reverbs. Sound 😊

[@duncancartledge1667]

So.. after a few weeks playing I’ve totally fallen for the Spacetime algorithm. Been messing around with midi settings and discovered that you can turn the reverb, delay and modulation ‘virtual pedals’ on and off with a CC message… instant pedalboard.

[@DanielFar96]

I love all these sounds, but would it work in a mono setup?

[@XxSypherxX91]

What year is the LP Custom? Or did you tape over the serial number too? 🤣 Sorry couldn’t help it. Awesome vid as always.

[@chrisquinn9104]

Why can’t I find Shimmer Chorus on my H9? It’s a Max, it should be there

[@LeonTodd]

It's an effect type in the chorus algorithm

[@mikepadgett8522]

I am looking at purchasing this unit. Does it have to be run in the FX loop or straight into the front of a amp? Also are the distorted sounds coming from the H9 or a amp. Thanks for any help and awesome video btw👍👍👍

[@LeonTodd]

Disroted sounds are coming from my Axe-Fx. H9 can be run before an amp, in the loop or "pre/post" where you can choose which patches are in front or in the loop

[@mikepadgett8522]

@@LeonTodd Thanks that clears up some things for me. I a newbie in the multi fx area👍

[@georgekeenan72]

Thank you!!!!

[@wilfbiffherb]

I don't seem to hear much from Eventide these days. I have a Pitchfactor that I bought years ago and it is immense. Don't see them around these days alas. Same with Timefactor and Modfactor.

[@patricktracy1966]

Comment #100! The H9 is unbeatable. Other stuff sounds good too, but nothing sounds better. Except maybe the H90. You sound great Leon. Are you running a stereo rig? My tremoverb algo has mono-depth instead of stereo-depth, but is otherwise the same. Thats probably why.

[@LeonTodd]

Yep stereo here

[@nicholaskillmeier4895]

LOL why did you cover up the logo on your guitar?

[@Eventual420]

All of the modulation effects befuddle me, Phase, Flange, Chorus, Wah. I should try more earnestly to understand and deploy them, cause you sound GREAT Leon. 👍

[@davewilliams8557]

Thanks bro!!!

[@LeonTodd]

No problem!!

[@axeman7352]

Hey Leon great vid! Got a question for ya. I have the Marshall JVM410HJS and thinking about going for an all in one with it. Would you do the AX8 or the Eventide H9Max for effects. I also have a midi controller. Which one is easiest and mainly only want it for effects unless there is something better to put in the effects loop. What is your suggestion? Thanks

[@Techo1329]

Hey man, I'm on the same mission and have all but settled on the GT-1000 Core as the device to bring bucket loads of capability to my Marshall combo. Planing to put the Core on a small board with my old Crybaby and SD-1, the old pedals into one of the Core's loops and the Core in the amps loop via 4CM. Really attracted to the Core for its fully programmable 24 block signal chain and its ability to switch the amps channels within a patch.

[@axeman7352]

@@Techo1329 my bass player told me he had a GT1000 now that I think of it that he didn't use. Maybe I'll borrow his and try it out. I run my SD-1, chorus, volume, and Morley wah up front and my 2nd volume, delay, and reverb in the loop. Looking for more effects and less equipment mainly without noticeable switching. I ran the TC G-Major 2 rack (midi)and it didn't seem to change without delays on certain settings. I want an easy setup and tear down. I went from my Marshall to the H&K GM40 and it does everything except I can't quite get my Marshall tone I want, otherwise it is awesome for easy.

[@wayney.387]

Can you do the H 3000 thing with the Axe fx 3

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah and a lot more. Quad detune x 2

[@javiceres]

I thought no more tears was all about adding detuned voices (like 200 or so...)

[@joshuasydnee]

Wicked Leon what Amp you playing through?

[@LeonTodd]

Using the Axe-Fx III for all the amp tones

[@chrisquinn9104]

Never mind, I figured it out

[@danielrose703]

You should get a commission when I finally buy the H9.

[@DefconClark]

Shame on me... I have a haitch 9 max and have never played it. Is it better than the 707?

Seven ow seven

[@PackinForSuperbowl]

I think the truss rod cover needs some tape so we can't tell what kind of guitar you're playing. :)

[@glaucosouza1971]

Lukather had a good use of the stereo ducked delay in the 80's. He actually mastered it indeed.

Leon I love your channel but I kind of dont like how you almost thumb the 80s...look many bands and I was in many of them didnt like that term back then, to us we considered POISON a hair metal band or Bon Jovi you know the "Happy Metal" crap many of us dressed in Leather and denim much like you do now....we considered that an insult even back then. I laugh when these kids try to knock the 80s...the girls had big hair short skirts with heels, they didn't run around in potato sacks, and the gyys never looked like they had a load of shit in their pants haha our pants FIT.

[@LeonTodd]

A significant portion of my favourite music ever made comes from the 80s, so if anything comes across as snarky towards it it's not intentional. Must have been so much fun to be playing in a band back then.
