I've had mine for a little over a year now and haven't even scratched the surface of what it can do. It is THE most amazing pedal I have ever owned, and I've pretty much owned them all since 1963.

I’ve had a guitar for over 40 years and still haven’t scratched the surface of what it can do. 😊

[@HarrisonBeam]

What’s amazing to me is the comments of so many on here about the price and comparing to other multi effects but fail to compare them to strymon’s when you are paying $450-$500 for one type of effect and to have delay, mod and reverb of those you have to buy three different pedals totaling Around $1500 with no drive or pitch effects….. the Eventides (like the strymons) are professional level Studio Quality effects, it’s a different animal and not something that should Be compared to Line 6 (as good as they are) Boss, Headrush or the like.

[@bexserver]

@@station2station544 not sure I understand your point, sorry

[@station2station544]

@@bexserver No offense to this you or this Eventide, more just my commentary on all the "instant ambient, just buy 3 ChaseBliss pedals and you're a star" music that is all over KZbin these days. Quite a few Ambient channels popping up begging for Patreon. But I do like the functionality of this H90, especially being a huge fan of the vintage H3000 Rack iteration.

[@bexserver]

@@station2station544 all good mate, I wasn't offended, just curious. Not sure I agree with you though; the amount of KZbin ad revenue and Patreon subscribers it'd take to pay for a single CB pedals would quite a lot, plus a lot of time to make that money back. Anyone who can use KZbin to make that kind of money deserves it imo

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

I had mine for about 7 days before selling it. If you like hi-def sheen, candy shell, polyrhythmic sequencing, micro pitch, digital delays, shimmer, reflections, swelling blooming stuff, then this is for you. If you like a gritty 12-bit reverb and analog delay with character, look elsewhere.

[@lance134679]

It's basically everything an H9 user would want in an upgrade, with the dual engine, advanced routing and way better screen. Thanks.

[@MrNachoponcho]

Love the H9 and eventide! I think there are other options out there that have more flexibility and better priced but the eventide stuff has its own sound for sure

[@lesfutman6938]

what are the other options? Are there any pedals that offer similar creativity that are a bit cheaper and easier to use?

[@tommylockett99]

This is the best demo and explanation of the H90 on the net, great job Mitch! I just received my H90 (from Sweetwater :-) and this video got me up and running, thank you!

[@sweetwater]

😎👍

[@IamMusicNerd]

It’s definitely awesome and powerful, but most of the unique features are things I would probably never use. So I think I will just stick with a much simpler GT1000 core or HX stomp to handle all of my modulation.

[@IsaacLausell]

First of all the positive: I like that Eventide products deliver and allow you to manipulate the guitar’s timbre in a way that has always been beyond anything else in the market. The idea of a multieffect is awesome. The not so good: The format still suffers from the same nonsense of the Factor pedals, you have a switch that allows you to bank down and two switches to select the presets on each bank. Who would build a $900 unit and not include a bank down switch? I understand that one could add a footswitch however at this price point the workflow should already be practical. Considering what else is in the market being able to run two effects at a time is quite limiting. The format and size of the unit is practical however in my opinion the product to build would be something that allows you to simultaneously run at least one effect from their general categories considering pitch shifting, modulation, delay and reverb. I am aware that there are some plausible redundancies considering that for example the micro pitch effect can generate modulated delays as well as chorus however this would free up the player to exploit the possibilities of the Eventide brand. With something like this, all that one would need for a complete board would be some drives and expression pedals. As someone that travels regularly small format solutions are prime nowadays. I still own Eventide gear and it has served me well over the years however I think this product being presented could be developed further.

[@amty68]

I have Hotone Stomp II that costs half of this pedal and it’s beatifull pedal 😊

[@marktheelf53]

Pratically a world of sound in a stomp box...fantastic!

[@bikergeekgd]

A great device with that stellar Eventide sound. But for less money, one could buy the Helix HX FX which has hundreds of great-sounding FX, an online editor, MIDI, scribble strips, etc.

[@mattg1094]

..,which I have. Went through editing patches to match some of eventide's famouse algorithms... ended up being satisified with what I have... perhaps I'll just buy a unique reverb/delay if I get GAS. HX Stomp even is the better choice I think - financially speaking... quality I have no idea - and I'm sure this is one of the best quality/high fidelity sounding boxes ou tthere

[@dewdude2112]

I love sweetwater. The best. But I have never seen anyone hide the guitar brand/logo as cleverly as you! Even when fully displayed it is so blurry you can't tell what it is. BRAVO!

[@AndyWaring]

It looks great honestly, but stuff like this can’t help but make me think how far advanced (and a great deal) the Line 6 Helix stuff was/is.

[@nigeldaddyo]

Eventide effects are another level compared to Helix. Not hating on the Helix as I owned the flagship Helix Floor when they first came out, and now a Helix LT.

[@rovenordiales]

Hx stomp then all copied this 3 FS multiFx rig hahaha!

[@0megalul309]

the helix stuff still doesn't sound as good as the older eventide racks lmao. If the helix was as advanced as all its fanboys claimed it was, strymon, meris, eventide should be all out of business.

[@AndyWaring]

@@nigeldaddyo Yeah, I'm not hating on this product - I really do think it looks great! I've not used Eventide effects as much as Line 6's, but there's some I prefer Eventide for (that tri-chorus is incredible, as is practically all the pitch stuff) and there's some I prefer Line 6 for (the reverbs, delays and overdrives are fantastic). It was more that in the demo above I seen all the routing options, the paths the ins and outs and thought "man, that's cool!" then I remembered that my HX FX can do pretty much all of that! Just made me think how forward thinking Line 6 were is all.

[@poison7512]

Man.. get your ears cleaned. Just LISTEN to this. Helix does not sound like that.

Good review and demo. I keep thinking though that I can get all of these sounds out of my 30 year old ART SGX 2000. Nice to have in a pedal, but most seem to be overpriced and over-hyped today.

[@fhelu]

The H90 addresses the problem that made me sell off my pair of H9’s, the spillover of effects. I miss Eventides algorithms ad am seriously considering getting one of these units in the future

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Dang. You had two. 😮 You should get the H90 if you miss that Eventide sound. As you probably know already, it has all the H9 Max algos, plus they are enhanced due to the much peppier DSP. It even has the SP2016 Reverb, which I love and have owned in plugin format since...2016. 😄 I always held off buying an H9 Max due to the limitations of the interface, plus it was just one effect at a time. Sounded great, but stacked effects yield more possibilities. Even my Zoom MS-CDR70, which understandanly doesn't need as much processing power due to it being basically a toy in comparison, has more than one effect at a time. As soon as I received the H90 announcement e-mail from Eventide and I saw the OLED screen and more than one effect, I knew I had to have it. It was such a long, agonizing wait in the back of my my mind, but seeing and hearing this new H90, it was worth it. I pre-ordered it on zZounds. 😀 Sorry for being so wordy!

[@ishta]

Please have Daniel Fisher do a deep dive on this. He'll wring a lot more sounds, he always does. This is a synth programmers wet dream effects unit.

I've used the H9 for live shows with presets all set up and just need to do minor tweaking depending on the room etc, and I am not much of fiddler with my pedal board, so the fear of using these types of pedals is gone for me! BUT, this one looks way more complex! I will fumble around with it in my home studio and record with it, as those pedals are incredibly great sounding! We're in a golden age of pedals!

It sounds pretty good, but I think I’ll stick with my TC Electronic Plethora X3, which, for 1/3 the cost, can do three distinct effects simultaneously. It may not have some of the more exotic effect options as the H90, but aside from drive pedals, it handles all of my needs just fine-and would an audience know (or really care) what’s on your board anyway?
