What's the most iconic Eventide effect?

[@coalfacechris1336]

A better question for the recording orientated people out there, Leon? How much do guitar players really make use of the H-series rack units? Even guys like JP and Vai? As for the pedals, I love the Pitchfactor and Space.

[@Beddez1]

Blackhole & MicroPitch (and pedal format of those)

​@@coalfacechris1336 that's not a better question at all LOL .

[@damianval4626]

Whenever I dust off passion and warfare I always leave jaw dropped at what Steve created back then on old tech eventide 🤯 They really are wizards

[@IIIMARCUSCIII]

I play bass and i received my H90 last week. Just scratching the surface of this beautiful pedal. And every time i watch tutorials and demos like this one I’m still in shock and awe! What a beast of a pedal! ❤ Your playing skills are amazing man! ❤💪👍

[@MrAkorosec]

My favorite KZbin guitar channel. I have H90 and I can't say thank you enough for you to make these kinds of videos. Keep up the good work. 🙏

[@LeonTodd]

Thanks mate 🎉

[@johnnathancordy]

Just turned my H90 on yesterday and loving the Shimmer and new Polyphony based on some of the factory presets!!!

[@johnsonbat77]

Great video mate! I’m saving up for an H90 and about half way. Can’t wait to get it.

[@nicklee8755]

It’s an amazing pedal. I was surprised how great the WeedWacker sounds. Great dual TubeScreamer tones. TriceraChorus is also really fantastic sounding.

[@Kohntarkosz]

The thing he's doing at about 12:09, where he uses the square wave modulation on the delay, is a trick Henry Kaiser's been doing for decades.

[@gottastayfocused]

I'm using mine in the effects loop of the Boss IR200 they sound great together! Love your enthusiasm for all of this along with your great playing! Thanks

[@LeonTodd]

Epic compact rig!

[@gottastayfocused]

I just got the H90 and now have the H9 in the stereo insert Amazing ! Sounds so good!

[@JohnS.Fitch-]

I love the chorus presets! Great video.✌️

[@LeonTodd]

So lush

[@bestboy897]

your vids are some of the best tones and playing on yt

[@LeonTodd]

Too kind mate, thankyou!

[@jimprior180762]

Your Shimmer Chorus strum reminded me of Duran Duran track Bedroom Toys, nice. Oh and Micropitch, superb!

[@bestboy897]

that chorus damnnnn gave me goosebumps

[@JimsMusicJourney]

Imagine using two of these together. I love mine. Really considering getting another because more is more and more is awesome.

[@castleanthrax1833]

How can less be more? More is more. We can thank Yngwie for those "wise" words. 🍩🍩

[@LeonTodd]

I'm tempted to buy another for that exact reason :p

[@raskolnikov1873]

I must have this pedal! Wow!

[@BobGuido]

Love the way the Undulator sounds in the H90. Better than the plugin. Thanks for testing the Vintage DDL and the Mod Delay. I'd love to hear a comparison of the Eventide Vintage DDL algorithm vs Strymon DIG, both set to dotted 8th Left / 1/4 Right.

[@LeonTodd]

They got it right!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Man, that EvenVibe and your playing that Trower song was awesome brother! Just epic! It sounded so good man! That pitchFuzz was great too.. Wow...Great effect.. Man, I loved that reverb you used with your PRS and gain! Geesh.. Sounded huge.. Loved it.. I know it would be a lot of work, and you would probably have to have a new set of patches with your FM3, but you should totally use that yellow strat live.. God I love that guitar.. Are the pickups in that Strat from Suhr noiseless or stacked ? Micropitch works with everything.. I loved it with the ducking delay.. Too cool.. This was a great video brother! Really cool.. Can't get enough Eventide.. Be safe and well my friend.. 💯🤘🤘

[@LeonTodd]

The Strat is great live especially when I play gigs with bands where there's keyboards as it stays out of the way of the other instruments. It's not quite "the one" for Ragdoll where I need the opposite effect though!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

@@LeonTodd Totally get it brother!

[@Beddez1]

Thnx Leon. There are also nice presets at Patchstorage (I found out today but I'm a dinosaur...) 😁

[@peterharvin2775]

Despite all the great pedal demos you've done, I was always completely satisfied to stick with my Helix. Didn't really "need" anything else. Then you started with this thing and I've been plotting how to get it ever since. Gorgeous sounds and playing.

[@LeonTodd]

This and a Helix together would be stunning

[@shekador]

I could listen to Leon noodle into an Eventide all day

[@georgelincoln5041]

Had the h9 and finally got my h90. Went through the user programs... meh. Knew I was going to have to dive in and start making changes, mostly the dual presets weren't to my tastes. Thanks to LT for all his deep dive videos into the h90, I am successfully getting somewhere. The fx responds to subtle parameter changes and LT really has a way of dialing the presets in. Thanks LT.

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah like most multi FX if you're an experienced player you're often best to just delete all the factory stuff and roll your own

[@gweeboyoda]

I dunno man my first go with the H90, I recorded - don't think I even had a drive in front of it, and basically mapped out a whole post rock album scrolling through the factory presets

[@user-ux7zk6hi9r]

I tried to do something similar, having on hand Boss ME 50 / GR-20 / Roland XV-5050 and KORG-Triton rack - something turns out, formally similar - BUT it requires a lot of effort, time, recordings to capture all the sound components.. . This device is better and more convenient..

[@exterC0ffx]

I dunno why but I'm not completely taken with this new item. The delays are excellent but the other algorithms when would we ever use them except in a recording. It's a pricey little piece of equipment that in my own tastes I'd rather take the eventide eclipse instead. Great video Todd I'm just not sold on this one yet, cheers.

[@cliftonwright7081]

Sounds amazing in the cans! Any tips on how to grow more facial hair?

[@LeonTodd]

I dunno how they do it but Eventide stuff always sounds extra wide and lush. I just use the end of a high e string to prick my skin until it looks like stubble.

[@adriandaigle8651]

I want one!! 🤟🎸

[@dominicgibson9529]

I've got to get me one of these✌

[@davegilmer_Storyville4Life]

Oh man I’ve been holding off on watching anything on this monster of monsters! But, I just took it and took it and… couldn’t contain any longer. You’re one of my favorites on here so…damn, I’m so weak. G.A.S. 🤐🎸 killer diller man, it’s all your fault…😢💰💰😵‍💫😁

[@jayeye89]

Love your videos on the eventide. I recently switched from the h9 to the h90. A lot of the programmes vary in volume which is quite annoying so some of the sounds really give too much of a volume boost when used in the effects loop. Also i find the editor software isnt as fun as the H9.

[@KL43-e8f]

Hi !Where i can find the smooth detune?I search at my H90,and i can't find.It`s a sharing preset?

[@JJDon5150]

Hey Leon, Im really thinking of getting one of these since i have the individual Eventide Tricerachorus and Micropitch pedals. My question is, if i got the H90, would i basically have the complete functionality of both pedals in one unit, or more like just snapshots/presets of them?

[@LeonTodd]

Full functionality!

[@lukather1]

Can you replicate these in the FM9 ?

[@danharding9136]

Are all the effects in the fx loop? Sorry if you’ve already said. Great content mate

[@swmorgan515]

Wow the vibe sounds great, that is a huge selling point for me. I've found to get good / vintage tones w/ vibe it needs to be in front of the amp / drive. Are you running this in front of your amp or model, or is it in the loop? Also, can it do a good Roland / Boss CH-1 chorus sound? I am in love with that sound and I use my ZOOM MS-50G specifically for its amazing replica of that, but it is limited in other ways. I'm looking to upgrade to the H90 but need to make sure I can get that sound!

[@LeonTodd]

Yep, vibe up front. There's a bunch of different chorus sounds which can do the BOSS thing or the more 80's style stuff.

[@heavybrett-al4082]

When playing with such a cool abundance of tones in the unit...do you find your Strat more versatile? I'm wondering if the lower output pickups make it an all-rounder?

[@LeonTodd]

Being able to get really clean cleans certainly helps

[@jlbaxe]

Can you get a the micro pitch shift from the AFX3? Or is there a big difference from the H90?

[@LeonTodd]

Yes. It sounds great on the Fractal too

[@chopshop777]

Leon , is it possible to do minor 3rds with this pedal ? Iron Maiden style ? thank so much. cheers

[@LeonTodd]

Yes

[@SteelyDannyBoy71]

Excellent videos, Leon. Is it always necessary to use the H90 Control, and can the tweaks you demonstrate be achieved without it?

[@LeonTodd]

You can do all this on the unit. It's a lot easier to screen capture the editor than setting up a 2nd camera though.

[@SteelyDannyBoy71]

@@LeonTodd Thanks, Leon.

[@markallen381]

Eventide "evenvibe" or "shimmer chorus" might just be a great Blues song effects?

[@LeonTodd]

Evenvibe for sure, very Hendrix/Trower

[@kevincross8372]

Around 25 mn. I'm chassing a similar effect. What does that ? Phaser of the eventide class maybes?

[@LeonTodd]

The reverb into chorus thing?

[@robertsimpson5801]

Would you ever add one of these to your gigging rig or would you just keep it at the house for recording?

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah definitely. I gigged a h9 for years

[@lukather1]

Elephant inthe room ! £1000 !!!!

[@thinkingofvenice]

Worth every bit too… love mine. 🙂

[@garylayton5719]

How’s this compare to the Eclipse, Leon? I’m curious.

[@LeonTodd]

The Eclipse is deep while the H90 is broad. The H90 is a lot friendlier if you're used to pedals but is pretty satisfying if you like the advanced routing and options studio gear offers. The Univibe, BBD delay, drives and poly pitch effects are good examples of things the H90 does that the Eclipse doesn't do. The Eclipse has a pretty identifiable sound and character though. Great reverbs, great presets and the super cool vintage delays algorithm are highlights for me. It's definitely a unit that requires some knowledge from the user, especially with some of the more sound design oriented algorithms. If you want to jam Van Hagar riffs they'll both do that thing real well!

[@bartnettle]

Q. Do you get one free in exchange for presets? Cheers

[@LeonTodd]

I was sent a unit before it was released to make a video demo with it and do some beta tester.

[@sheatanner9935]

So my question is: Can it run Micropitch, trichorus and delay all at once? If so... I'm sold. (Edted for my shite spelling)

[@LeonTodd]

Tricerachorus has trichorus and detune together, so add a delay to that and you're done

[@R.E.E.L.C.]

Do you miss anything about having two H9s vs one H90?

[@LeonTodd]

No. More algos on the H90 and more routing options. Less noise too.

[@shaharbar]

Adds girth, spread, greasiness, what are we talking about again?

[@LeonTodd]

😁

[@sebrura]

Shimmer Chorus sounds amazing. Rest? Meh.

[@AlexOlivari67]

Guitar sound good, Vocals really bad.

[@BRO77TX]

Blackhole has an almost Eric Johnson type feel to it!!

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah that infinite/freeze thing he does is similar
