Just got one of these, not new, but v good nick.
Impressive bit of kit……
Hooked it up to my MacBook using the H9 Control App and tweaking is a straightforward process.
Tweaking from the pedal is a bit more complex and needs reference to the user guide.
Anyway , one complaint against the H9 is that it only does one effect at a time….
This isn’t strictly true…it only does one Algorithm at a time ….
and an Algorithm can contain up to 4 predetermined effects….
the Algorithms are designed by EVENTIDE and cannot be modified, but the EVENTIDE team know their stuff, and there isn’t any usage for a sane guitarist that isn’t available….
Of course if you want to pick every aspect of a ‘sound’ yourself then the H9 isn’t for you …
but you would be missing out on the fidelity and quality of the sounds available….
they are exceptional ….
Not an all singing & dancing bit of kit, but a Pro bit of kit that sounds wonderful …..
and with the release of the new H90 the H9 is coming on the market at a good price…
deffo worth checking out ….
cheers

The app : nobody had this at the time - Line6 still say that app control over Bluetooth was never possible, and the Strymon units of the same era didn’t go there, but Eventide made it happen.
Hot-knobs : once you’ve got your patch set up, the ability to assign ANY 3 parameters to they x,y,z buttons on the units sparse controls was a great option. Any parameters likely to need a tweak gig to gig or venue to venue CAN be right at your fingertips.
