Review: Eventide H90 vs H9 // How it dramatically transforms sounds // All algos & tutorial

[@arpjunkies]

Lesson learned, if you talk yourself out of buying something long enough, a better, more expensive version will come out and you can repeat the process…

[@millenniummastering]

Just get the H9000 and be done with effects.

[@earicpatten]

Ha!

[@1980VINZ]

@@acidlab9586 ​ 1000000% agree!! Appreciated a lot your comment. This is why I bought just few very important gears, and will keep them all my life, because people NEVER MASTER their rig, they just replace them and again and again… We are infinitely lucky to live an era where machines are very, very, very powerful and deep. What it means is we can enjoy them during a whole life before being limited… People’s skills are limited WAY BEFORE their machines… Consumption. Anyway Always the same story, people being lazy with their brain. The best machine we’ve all got.

[@arpjunkies]

@@millenniummastering yes, nothing is will ever be bigger, better more powerful, or more expensive, well at least nothing will be more expensive…

[@jensj.jensen5462]

Then I will wait for a rack mountable H900 as I don’t play guitar.

[@worthmoremusic]

I used to work for Eventide (Eventide Clockworks back then) in the 70's i.e. the 1745, H910, H949, Phaser, Omnipressor, etc.......to date they still make some of the best signal processing and special effects gear on the market.

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

I'm still getting new sounds and ideas out of my H9 years after owning it.

[@scienceofsound]

After listening to Eventide’s interview on The Guitar Knobs Podcast about the H90 and your demo, I’m massively impressed with Eventide as a company and manufacturer of music gear. This is how you execute a truly improved UI/UX. Excellent video as always. 🤘🏻❤️

Thank you Loopop for this helpful introduction of this effect unit. Glad that I didn’t but the H9. Already ordered the H90. Eventide is just incredible from the sound quality.

[@heathbrady8510]

Wow. It (almost) expands the microfreak into something more like the polybrute . Great video.

Truly a work of art in presenting this item!! 👍👍

[@alexmacfarlane994]

agreed, that mixer functionality suggestion would be IMMENSE

Thankyou! I got frustrated with H9 and was able to return it. This does the crazy little things I need. Ordered mine today.

[@1980VINZ]

I’ve finally found the one and only effect I will buy. Thank you.

[@nostandingonlydancin]

Excellent idea about a firmware update to allow the H90 to act as a mixer for 4xmono inputs, 2x mono and 1 x stereo or 2x stereo. This would make the H90 a instant purchase for me. Also, I would like to say that I wish these multi effect pedals had headphone outs. As I enjoy playing and exploring with very small setups running from a usb power bank. Thanks for the video as always. ✌️

[@dude65535]

For most of the video I was wondering the same thing! Hope they do it.

[@tarkus3004]

Yes, and also allow 3 stereo ins + 1 stereo out

[@dreG450]

Do we know if this was ever offered in an update?

[@ZigbertD]

It's expensive but I don't think the price is unreasonable at all, comparable with many other studio quality alternatives. Most people aren't barking that a Strymon Timeline and BigSky combined is outrageous, and I think you're getting far more with this Eventide. Is it essential? For a lot of people probably not, including myself. But I think it's a really solid choice for anyone looking for top notch sound and maximum versatility in a live rig or studio processor.

[@ArguZ72]

You might want to listen again to Strymon Reverbs compared to Eventide ones... They are one trick ponies, but sound much richer , clearer and to the point. It's Victorinox vs Bowie knife

[@tothefinlandstation]

Would love to see more about what you can do with it by sending it MIDI or CV.

[@worldofmuu]

I love the H90. I have it as a cue fx in the octatrack and it’s very inspiring even just browsing the presets

[@drindy5166]

Just finished watching Sweetwaters take on this unit... 20mins... now for the real in depth view!!! Awesome 👊🧡👍

[@positronalpha]

It's the price of two premium pedals. Here, you get a lot more options and also spillover. I don't think the price is wrong.

[@bricelory9534]

Now this is a real studio unit. Powerful, rich, and pricey. I love it, but where I'm at I would have a hard time justifying the price tag for an effects unit. I get that beginning hobbyists aren't the target though, of course. maybe if I get to a point of making income from it, I could justify the cost on something like this.

[@fjc7924]

Now the Amedeo-Bass-Shim sounds great. All the excuses for not buying an H9 have been dealt with thoroughly. Your demo is the BEST I've seen on YT. Great work LooPop... don't forget to like and subscribe!

[@dmomcilovic9185]

The logical step for eventide to take would be to incorporate this and make a synthesizer.

[@soarornor]

Yes!!! That would be beyond the beyond. Include algorithms from the H3000 including the resonance patches.

[@positronalpha]

With a poly aftertouch keyboard and extensive mod matrix... Yes. Would buy.

[@Jason75913]

H90 is basically a synth module of sorts already. No real point in making an actual synth, just pair it with whatever you please.

Still better than £1,050 for the UK via Thomann [=$1,200] : )

@@acidlab9586 very good point. However, and maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t possible to customize algorithms’ parameters on the H90 and save them as user presets? Anyway, as you perfectly state it, Zoia and Beebo are different beasts!

[@synthsploration9523]

Wow. Sure turns the already impressive microfreak into a colossal beast. This 'pedal' is epic.

[@Mrjononotbono]

After wanting these for over 10 years, I finally recently bought a Strymon Big Sky, Mobius and Timeline. I didn't know this existed... so I'm also going to now save for one of these H90s and then control it all with a GigRig G3S. I don't think I would need anything else ever 😂 I might also die from not eating and not leaving my studio because it is so amazing! 😂

[@sCealt]

Amazing presentation as always! I wish they released a VSig3 version that's compatible with this. Would open the door to nearly endless possibilities.

[@ArguZ72]

Exactly my point...I had the H9000 for a while and loved meddling in algorithms myself. But this is targeted to guitarists who seemed to be overwhelmed with the classic H90 app already, so they did not want to get into the support business one needs to provide if VSIG is open to all. I asked if we could see a 4 algo,2CPU rack unit in the future or a paid for VSIG and both was answered with maybe :)

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Just received mine and loving it so far, simply stunning sounding and easy to use. Currently going into the Matrixbrute’s insert point and it’s like having a brand new synth! One thing to be aware of though is that the editor desktop app won’t work unless your running Big Sur or above..which in my case cought me totally by surprise. Enjoy this amazing processor 🙌🏽

[@blenderbuch]

Times where effects get more complex than the instrument 🎹🧐😉

[@jonnyhead]

Exactly what I was thinking and more expensive than the instrument 🙄 although you could probably fart into it and it would sound good.

[@Patriotic_Eagle1995]

That's been the Eventide business model since the 80s...

[@wellurban]

In which case the whole “instrument” is now the combination of instrument and effects. It’s like the old Brian Eno idea of treating the recording studio as an instrument, but massively condensed.

[@ktreier]

As a Patreon subscriber I’ll confirm the book is well worth it!

[@loopop]

Thanks very much for taking the time to write!

[@dankeplace]

2 H9s here and a Space, I prefer the Space due to knob per function, not a fan of having to use the Ipad to control the H9s, it's added expense and cumbersome. SP-H9 is a great pedal to change hot knob in performances. I can appreciate what the 90 does, just that I already have 1 H9 Max and 1 core which is upgraded to a Max for free. I will still check this out as you can never have enough pedals, thx for the upload.

[@WackyJackyTracky]

How do you connect your iPad with the H9s?

[@dankeplace]

@@WackyJackyTracky I posted an answer and it was removed for some reason. You need an app then connect via Blu Tooth and it will see the specific device, then you put in a 4 digit code from memory. It's very easy, BUT it changes how you interact with the H9 for sure. I have 2 IPADs btw.

Think of it like this..... this is a Strymon BigSky, Volante, Timeline, Mobius, Dig, Flint, Zelzah, Sunset, Deco, El Capistan, Lex, Brigadier, Orbit, Ola, and some of the NightSky, all in one box. It holds its own and often surpasses (in multiple areas) things like the Line 6 Helix, Boss GT-1000, and the Fractal Audio stuff. Really, it is great value for money and if Eventide support it for years and years to come with firmware updates, then really I don't see the price as a con, nor am I put off by it. I ordered mine instantly, and am digging into it and loving it.

[@ArcticAnalysis]

H9 max has been on my wishlist for a while, well now it isn't, and i'm glad I waited. Thought that 1 H9 would probably lead to wanting 2, now here they are in a single package. Routing options are great. Looking forward to coupling this up with a 1010music blackbox and some midi keys for a really fun playground.

[@YStharart]

.... And yes for 1300 euro in Europe ahahaha..... Insane pricing ! Very bad !

[@javiceres]

It’s not exactly two H9 in one box, it’s more powerful than that!

[@javiceres]

@@PelicansCourtsideClub I don’t know of any pedal that’s as powerful as the H90. Even a single algorithm of the H9 can be so powerful.

[@MikeUIibarri]

Good to know other people went with the H9 also. Can't wait till it gets here!

[@Pianet]

I think it would have made more sense to increase the IO and market it as a send fx solution rather than sell it as one excessively powerful insert

[@obsoletecd-rom]

Isn’t that what the H9000 is designed to do?

[@ktreier]

You can assign different inputs and outputs to the two algorithms. So it’s almost half an H9000

[@Pianet]

@@obsoletecd-rom exactly...I think more people would be into an H9000 lite than a H9 turbo

[@klstay]

Great overview as always. At the same total cost I went a different direction. For my setup I have moved to using an iPad ($300) over USB to an audio interface ($300) for effects processing. My mixer ($300) has 4 mono send/stereo returns to the interface/iPad which runs a variety of effects. I figure a lot of folks have iPads and 4 channels in AUM with as many effects each as you want is a LOT of go juice. Different strokes for different folks and the H90 does have a number of advantages over that path.

[@loopop]

Thanks! Which iPad effects have similar pitch-shifting character (I know there are plenty of reverbs and delays)

[@klstay]

@@loopop Other Desert Cities and Enso from Audio Damage are both steals compared to PC prices. Eventide themselves have a (relatively small) number of their most popular effects which can only be considered pricey compared to other apps on the platform. Klevgrand Modley is an absolute must "effects box" rabbit hole. To me H90 is tough to beat for form factor and relative ease of use. However, for the same cost an iPad, interface, and analog mixer with 1 stereo and 6 mic/mono ins & 4 separate mono send/stereo return effects loops does extract a size and complexity toll, but is more vastly more deep & wide.

[@regplasma7906]

Great demo as usual.I was hoping the H90 was going to be average , or great and £500.Neither was the case .It is awesome and £1000.

Welp, that talked me out if it. I knew it’d be pricey but I expected like 600

Thanks for the video. The H90 looks to be a significant upgrade to the H9. I'll have to start saving for one. I wish they would offer this as a rack mount unit in addition to a guitar pedal. Say, wasn't "Band-delay Industries" mentioned on an episode of Seinfeld?

Or just get my second H9 if I don't care about the new UI improvements. If most of the algorithms are the same and the sound quality is the same, I'm not yet motivated. We'll see.

[@VEsound]

Hi @loopop thanks for the video, once again, you're the "human user manual" ❤😄 I agree with you about the 3 knobs being nice even if it would have been even better to enjoy a line of 4 or a second line of 3 for 6 knobs in total, that's clear. There's one con you didn't mention, don't know what you think about it: the integration with laptops is good with the USB-C port but the Eventide software seems to be standalone. It would have been better to see an AU/VST version of it as well, in order to make automations on our DAW. Like Overbridge on the Elektron world. 😉

[@loopop]

Thanks! Since you asked what I think, personally, it's not in my workflow to do that for this or the Elektron gear (which I like a lot standalone), but that's what I love about the comment section - for people who think differently so thanks for the comment.

[@brandonaikin5445]

Hey, great review as always. Obviously a lot to cover. I was specifically interested in how frequently a scale/key quantization is available and your assessment of the tone quality and ease of use. For example, the Diatonic and Quadravox algos. Thanks!

[@Pyroja]

That's a wonderful FX unit but man, something kinda funny to me using an FX unit that costs nearly 3x the synth it's connected to. I think I"ll be using my MS-70CDR for a few more years before I can think about something like this 😅

[@Jason75913]

That price comparison is irrelevant and erroneous, H90 wouldn't even be wasted if used on a wee little cheap Volca FM - good effects cost money, and Eventide's various algorithms rolled into one unit will clearly be expensive.

[@synthanatomy]

sounds lovely and super happy to see the successor of the H9. Only the € price is really ouch ($899 vs 1199€)

[@loopop]

Thanks Tom for including my review in your coverage :)

[@skullhqx]

To be fair, that $899 is probably exclusive VAT/sales tax, which differs per US state but is often much less than our European VAT rates. On top of that there is import tax, so that’s the difference plus some extra margin for their effort to ship these. Still, I feel this thing is overpriced. Should have been priced below €1000 imho. I like the product and Eventide has created something interesting to me, but not for above €1000.

[@Bronwyn031]

My dream hardware buy is the Eventide H9000. It's a dream because the price is 6000 USD! 🙄🤨💰 Looks like Eventide realized this conundrum and have started parting out its effects into separate standalone modules at a far reduced price.

[@robarkskillie960]

One thing you can show the input clipping threshold levels and really push the unit balls to the wall,. Synth signals are really hot, show us how the unit handles it, how it affects sound. I've got an SA Collider that was clearly designed for passive pickup guitars, branded as synth friendly that has low headroom for line signals and clips rather easily - wish I knew before I bought it.

[@ewetoo]

[@Screenshot1015]

All I’m saying is that I owned an H9 max for a while and it became quite annoying to use very quickly. It wasn’t for me and I sold it. I don’t miss it very much at all and I mostly use a DBA Rooms and Zoom MS70CDR in its place. I know they don’t do everything the H9 did but if I hated using the H9 and therefore rarely got it out I don’t really think it matters.

[@seanspartan2023]

[@MrTHounsell]

It might be reasonable to predict that you are not going to be alone, and as a result a flood of used H9s on the market will drive their price down. Good for those who could not previously afford them... but not so much for those of us planning to upgrade. Twas ever thus.

[@darksiderahb]

It seems like a fantastic upgrade to the H9 and a pedal I really want to try in my setup. I just wish (and perhaps this is too much to ask for) that, over USB, I could use the algorithms inside of my DAW while the pedal is connected to my Mac (a sort of Virus TI2 type situation). That would open up a world of possibilities to me that I would otherwise have to bake in during recording. Or use as part of a send on an established track. Maybe it's something they can add down the road. Maybe it's only something I want. Ha! Regardless, it'd make this an instant buy for me. As it is, I still want it, but as I'm mostly a studio musician, I feel like I won't get as much out of this pedal because of the nature of my workflow. Still. Sounds amazing. Great review, as always.

[@abeteezy]

eventide has already released alot of these effects as plugins! if you have the $$$

[@darksiderahb]

@@abeteezy I get that. But since the pedal is fully digital, shouldn’t it make sense to be able to use it as both a real time audio processor and a plug-in over usb inside a daw? (Didn’t the H9 do that to some degree?) maybe it’s a feature in there somewhere. But to buy the pedal and the VST plugin seems like unnecessary double dipping.

[@user-ng4xu1xi4d]

The great thing about the H9 app is that I can switch quickly between any of 9 algorithms on my phone. I just have to tap the relevant icon on my phone. If I swipe left on I can instantly access 9 more. On the H90 it seems its either Select Mode which means scrolling through a list (not very practical for live performance) or Bank Mode which gives you access to 3 programs ( a total of 6 algorithms). But in the latter case you have to select the bank and then select the program. So to have the same accessibility as the H9 ( 9 algorithms) I might need to tap two footswitches. Tap and hold to scroll through the 3 banks and then tap again to select the algorithm . So 3 interactions with the pedal instead of 1 compared to the touch of 1 icon on the H9 app. Also the screen is small and difficult to read from a standing position on stage. So it seems the H90 is more designed for home studio use, not really for live performances.

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

If you’re a guitarist then I agree but for the dj booth is awesome and for the studio is simply perfect. Still, I’d like to be able to control the app from my iPhone too instead of needing the computer or an iPad.

[@IntangibleMan]

[@xyzzynth]

Thanks for the thorough review, as always! For me, this worked the opposite way and I just pulled the trigger on a brand new H9 Max, which I got on a discounted price. The H90, as awesome as it seems, is too much for my needs, and the seemingly “limitations” of the H9 Max entice me more, to get results faster (less controls to mingle), and be more focused on doing music than losing myself in the endless possibilities.

[@brandynwilkinson5579]

I was literally just trying to determine if it would make more sense for me (as a guitarist & recording artist) to pick up an H9 or an Eclipse V4... This new pedal makes that an easy decision, AND it includes the 2016 Reverb algorithm, which is super-exciting.

[@unregisturd]

LOL, damn bro. I'm happy that you've got the stacks to consider buying the Eclipse 4.... I think I'll need to try and snag a used H9 :D

We’re heading into inflation hell and some of these manufacturers (it’s not Eventide by itself by a long shot) now create/release tremendously expensive devices… that’s a bit of a bummer. Yeah, I get they all didn’t see it coming, but it’s a bit jarring.

Well besides weirdo pedals like the mentioned zoia, there's also a bunch of multi-fx amp pedals like the line6 helix stomp, hotone ampero, boxx gx-100 that can do a lot more than this for less of a price. pitch shifting, harmonizing, delays, reverbs, modulation, overdrives plus amp/cab modeling. also, am i getting this right, the H90 has the DSP power to run 4 algorithms (spillover) but eventide only allows you to REALLY run 2 at a time?

[@UloPe]

33:40 „Knife Drop“ sounds awesome!

[@Beatprisoner]

Unfortunatle Eventide removed the "endless" Spill Over option from their last OS versions. They said it was causing issues with the device and they can't support this option. So either this is correct and was putting too much permanent load on the DSP or they recognized that this way the customers got more or less 4 parallel effects (with some limitations). As you said you could use the looper with endless spill over time plus an effect and two additional effects. So another option then is the Mooer Ocean Machine having two Delays, a Reverb and a Looper all at the same time which can be reconfigured in terms of routing on the fly while the effects are running. Of course the FX quality of Mooer can't compete with the Eventide ones.

[@mchest7000]

Powerful unit. The Meris LVX looks in a similar ballpark tho without all the reverbs. Be interesting to compare.

Thank you you make such great reviews.

[@loopop]

Glad you like them!

[@zelly8163]

They are so clear and concise and with such depth I used one your reviews to understand my Wavestate. By the way is H90 available as a plug in?

[@loopop]

@@zelly8163 thanks! H90 isn’t available as a plugin but many of its algorithms are (not the 10 new ones I believe, I’ve not tried them)

[@zelly8163]

@@loopop Kind of you to get back to me. Happy playing and all the best.

How is the converters? ADA conversation is incredibly important for quality.

This is the first piece of new gear I have bought in five years.

Yes its amazing. More of the same. Please dont stop innovating. 4 algos would have been appreciated at that price point. Now please compare it to the ios plugins, 4 in parallel hosted in aum.

I just got the H9 max and pedal but I’m selling it and getting this for sure. I’m not a gear head but these sound soooo good

[@brianlespoir6287]

For 1200 euro I would prefer to buy a synthesizer. This isn't for me, but it sounds awesome as the H9 or the cheaper Blackhole does.

[@station2station544]

Love it, and great video.

[@timsubscriptions3806]

I hope they let you keep the unit, you deserve it. Sold me, got one today ~20%off Have a good one

[@loopop]

Thanks yes and enjoy!

[@DJDoubleEdge]

BRAVO 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Excellent video! Definitely helped my decision making 🫡

[@TheNimasan]

i alwyas loved my h9 max...i still love it, but this one is just wowwwww!!

[@Asdrubale01]

your voice really relax me

[@eyesintheskies]

Only hesitating on this cos I have the eventide space, a great stereo delay & already set on getting the meris lvx. The pitch stuff would be nice & I know it can do so much more but I’m spoilt for pedals, tbh I prefer external routing & it’s a lot to pay if I don’t need the reverb & delay! There I think I’ve successfully talked myself out of it 😃 Now excuse me while I go and consider the merits of a dual digitakt setup 😂

[@mrfuzztone]

The Line 6 multi-effects seem more useful for live use but maybe people hear an advantage in the H90 effects.

[@Oblique.strategy]

Just ordered one of these. Love the Eventide sound (have owned H3000, Eclipse, H9 previously)

[@ErwinSchrodinger64]

Would to love to see a comparison on the H90 Max and Boss GT-1000 Core. No matter how attempt to dial in the GT-1000, I still can't get the spacious reverb of the Eventide.

[@sunnyschramm9650]

1200€ streetprice is kind of hard. But you dont need to buy synths - just buy a $20 child-keyboard and get great sounds :D

[@THEAMYGDALA]

Somebody mentioned once, with an Eventide H9 reverb a simple analog clock ticking can be sound like an instant movie scoring

[@FakthorX]

Id love this as a eurorack module... I wonder if the addac granular comes close.. anyone know a module that would produce similar effects

[@slavadyachenko5791]

Looper with just one algorithm,,, It can loop,,, Priceless ,,,,

[@iamhated1292]

👍 as always. well... I have two H9s, first was for my guitars pedal board the second for my synth rig... but both ended up on my board. I wasn't feelin it with the effects on top of synth patches, it was too much, what do I program then, my effects or my synth patch? pre and post H9's for my guitar is definitely doing it for me. also, while the H9 is hard to program, it's not impossible and in a year of having my first H9 I pretty much forgot about the software. This is a fantastic seeming pedal but I don't think there's anything here for me.

[@iantanner7579]

Very nice. I'm going to have to start selling off some of my older vintage gear that I don't use anymore, - there is just too much quality new gear coming out, it's almost overwhelming.

[@DismalTide]

Dang, I just bought a PCM 80, and I had to repair it. I might have preferred this

[@NicolasKaniak]

what would be a betteroption, this or the Zoia?

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

Have all the eventide stuff on iPad and can use multiple instances , for synths is way more economical just to buy an iPad and a basic sound card.

[@lindsaywebb1904]

Fine for dicking around at home but not applicable for a gigging muso

[@RonCavagnaro]

Dang I got h9max this sounds cool... Eh I'll stick w h9 - I could try to get h9 core for cheaper at this point

[@JohnTrasher]

Hello fellow delugeer! :)

[@RonCavagnaro]

@@JohnTrasher hey hey!

[@Moonsteal]

I JUST bought the h9 a few months before this came out. Welp. I was considering another h9 but an h9+h90 seems like a MUCH better combo

[@mastermachetier5594]

I’d be curious to see compres to competition $900 seems steep

[@iantanner7579]

Considering the input options and the quality of the algorithms, I don't think there is anything comparable for the money. It is pricey for a digital pedal, but it's one hell of a pedal, IMO.

[@mastermachetier5594]

@@iantanner7579 I think it’s a great pedal don’t get me wrong. I am still not sold on the price though :)

[@Jason75913]

@@mastermachetier5594 H90 is the Pitch Factor, Mod Factor, Time Factor, and Space rolled into one pedal, and more, so you can get an idea by looking up those other Eventide pedals and comparisons with Strymon and Boss and what not.

[@lifetakesflight]

Lol I just ordered the h9 and now I'm seeing this!
