I'm not a guitarist, I DJ and TRY to make music haha. This pedal is insane, I have it connected to my xone96 and also have my beatstep pro midi mapped to control the H9 all while still being able to see the parameters etc on my ipad over bluetooth. So awesome, the only down side is theres so much to learn! :) Thank you AMS!!

This pedal is the perfect catch all for the end of your board for that extra effect whatever it may be. This is also very fun to use as a vocal effect. Runs in stereo and has an expression jack that allows you to choose what you want the exp pedal to control. Very versatile

The multi effect to have on your pedalboard

This is one of the best pedal I have on my pedalboard and very easy to use for any studio session or live
The thing I really like with this pedal I can control the effect with my phone and I really love that
The reverb is very cool and the envelop filter is the best for me
Very good investment

Confusing edit and save. Confusing user preset functions.

Old tech with equally old menu navigation. A couple of decent sounds that are useable. Not worth the money. Get a HELIX and a Strymon. This is the rotten, left over yogurt of it's generation. Regret the purchase.

This is 6- year old technology.
That being said, it's just as good now as it was when I first tried out my bandmates H9 back then. Even more so. Max - maximum presets and algorhythms. Software easy to set up and use. Bluetooth. Eventide sound. I really like this product. If I would add one thing: it would be a DI.

World’s Greatest Mod Pedal
By: Randy Perretta
Submitted: 11/7/2021
Product Review
My third and I’m not giving this one up!
I’ve had or heard them all and this one has the clarity, detail, flexibility and practicality that the others only shoot for. It’s plain easy to get *that* sound.
My only gripe is the one I have with all of them - most of the presets are too extreme and unusable, existing only to show off software engineering, not musicality.
But don’t worry, there’s plenty in this to give a lot to smile about and I am indeed smiling :-)

H9 is a Great Pedal...
By: Kenneth D. Mohr

Product Review
Over the last week I got it setup on my primary board and after 1 gig here's what I found:
1) With 52 algorithms I have an entire effects library in 1 pedal, saving precious pedal board space...in my case replacing 4 pedals!
2) Some of the presets are not usable for a bassist, but using the H9 Control app I was able to quickly edit presets and configure my list to organize for my needs. The Control app for iPhone is powerful and easy to use, and the Bluetooth support gives the ability to make edits in real time on stage if needed.
3) Sound quality is excellent.
4) Requires a center-positive power plug forcing you to use the included power supply.
5) Excellent MIDI support, and most presets include settings for an expression pedal! You can plug in directly or via a MIDI controller (I use DMC.micro Pro).
6) Navigating presets is surprisingly acceptable. I was concerned initially, but once you learn the clever layout it works fine. If you need more buttons, you can add a 3-button switch or (as I did) add a MIDI controller.
As a bassist, the H9 delivers on all my requirements...highly recommended!

The video hype is so much stronger than what the pedal's value is worth. I can achieve the same with pedals I already have making this pedal a wall flower that will sit on my studio effect pedal shelf more than it will ever be used. So overpriced and so disappointing. It does not meet my expectations at all, not even close. A lot of the presets are stupid ones I would never use. A real let down to the Eventide name! Thanks for nothing Eventide! The first item I bought from AMS with any disappointment... Not AMS's fault, they're still the best Music Store in the USA!!!

I really like this stomp box. It has a lot of effects and you can dial in very distinct tones easily. I really like the smart phone interface. The one big knock on it is that you can’t use more than one effect at a time. I found that you are led to buy a second box to achieve this. However that is an expensive folly

The sound effects of the Eventide H9 Max are "superb", and the unit is built Road-Ready.
By: G.Soria

Product Review
At first glance, it would seem that this unit could not possibly have many features, due to the number of switches on the front panel, and the small display, but that is not the case! Between the switches and the rotating wheel it is possible to access all the parameters available for each effect. However, it is rather convenient to use the phone, iPad, or computer to adjust your settings. For those of you wanting MIDI control, just set the MIDI channel (i.e. Ch.4), and send Hex C(Ch.-1) (Effect#-1), and away you go! Example: C3 00 (Effect# 1) to C3 63
(Effect# 99). Wish it had at least room for 256 effects.

This is amazing unit! You get everything Eventide has to offer in a small footprint. If you are looking for a multi-effects processor with amazing sound and anything you would ever need this is what you want. Great for gigs when space is a major concern just bring your amp, guitar and the H9 and your set.

I was also amazed how easy it was to use. Simple to get the hang of and as a giging musician I appreciate the features while playing live. I was skeptical it would be too much work but it’s not, super easy and inspiring to play!
I’m saving to buy a second one!

I have two sets of Westones, both more than twice the price of these Mackies, and though I really like my Westones, for the money, the Mackies are the real deal. Tried and tested in real live gig settings, several other band members have borrowed them and are really impressed with quality. When I tell them how much I spent on them through AMS, they’re In disbelief. They’ve far exceeded my expectations.

A Perfect Balance to Analog Signals
By: Lito Rodriguez
Submitted: 12/25/2018

The H9 delivers clarity unsurpassed by most of the digital-exclusive pedals on the market today. There are no unseemly artifacts or transients in the output signal. It blends wonderfully with analog pedals in the signal chain. There are endless tweaking possibilities so no one should have any trouble finding the right tone after sticking this pedal in between their instrument and loudspeakers. This gadget is definitely staying on my board.

Brilliant concept from the masters of Eventide. The effects are clean controllable and for me it was a challenge to locate a video with someone playing actually utilizing this pedal in a Metal setting because most of the videos are someone playing clean or performing the blues(What about us Metal players??). Well I can tell you that I have adapted it nicely into to my pedal rig. The delay, echo, harmonizer and chorus are absolutely fantastic and I recommend this to all you Metal players out there. Hay Eventide please provide some videos of this in a Metal setting this would be an awesome selling point...

I play guitar and midi guitar, process everything through Pro Tools when ever i play live, i had so many different reverbs going on it was crazy, and a little muddy, I use Vienna Pro with about 10 Plug ins at once live plus my guitar, NOW, all those reverb's are off, and everything is going through the H( Max in an effects loop,SUPER clean, and clear. IT's awesome. I highly recommend it.
Also, I can increase and decrease any parameter of an effect with the control pedal.

Not quite as intuitive as I thought it would be, quite a bit of manual to read and it will take some time, especially for "old school" guitarist to figure out (i.e. two knob stomp box types) Having never owned anything from Eventide, it will take a while to get used to the sounds. There is hope that this will work out ok, though.

Worth every single penny!!! Get the H9 Max

Worth it! Even if u have to finance it! It's still worth it! It's everything the reviews say and more! I've been playing for 35 yrs and owned over 61 guitars, 17 various tube amps, extenvise list or rack gear and pedals, toured, recorded etc.
by far the H9 Max is flat out the single best piece if equipment I've ever owned! Also u don't hear much about the tuner that's built it! It is precisely accurate, I've intonated 4 of my guitars with it already, instead of using my Peterson Strobe!
If u are in the fence about getting this, DO NOT WAIT! But now!
And the iOS function is sweet!!! It makes going thru this so much faster and easier!

After lots of review readings and product comparisons (I was also considering Strymon pedals)I bought the H9 Max. I am a professional guitarist but when I play live I've always mostly just used reverb and occasionally a Morley wah. This is going to bring a whole new dimension to my sound. The sounds are great, although many factory presets are not practical. It has a small footprint, looks good, sets up easily and quickly and best of all can be accessed through my iPhone 5. I totally recommend this pedal, and American Musical makes it easy to purchase and pay for it. Great customer service from AM and Eventide. Go get one!
