You can now very quickly access essential parameters and scroll between them - for a much more tactile and hands-on experience. The improved interface will make it a lot easier to deploy and will most likely mean I would use the H90 more often - rather than as a somewhat understudy currently. I’ve tended to mostly use my H9 Max for the Rotary Effect (Josh Smith), then Reverbs (Blackhole etc.), Delays, and some Harmonizing and Pitch-Shifting - but mostly Rotary and Reverb.
With this new version, we also get 10 brand new algorithms / effects : While the full-size MIDI In & Out/Thru ports sit on the left-hand side of the pedal. And Connectivity here has been enormously improved too with 2 sets of stereo ins and outs, and 2 expression jack ports.
The display also houses Input Monitor LED’s and 2 state LED’s which indicate when Bluetooth is on among other functions.Ĭontrols - Select Program / Playlist / Bank, Perform / HotKnob, Programs + Routing (System when pressed together), Quick Parameter Knobs 1-3, Presets + Parameters (Tempo when pressed together), Active / On Footswitch, Bank Down Footswitch, Bank Up Footswitch.Ĭontrol really seems to be significantly improved with really quick access to Parameters in particular. You get to see the Preset / Program Name - as well as the two algorithms / effects it consists of - and then the 3 key parameters for immediate tweaking via the Quick Knobs below the display. And Eventide have really pulled out all the stops on this new and improved edition - where you can essentially consider the new H90 as being 2 x H9 Max’s together as you can select 2 algorithms to play back at a time - with all kinds of clever wiring / cabling and routing options - parallel and series - for ultimate stereo output fidelity.Įventide has picked up all kinds of cool cues here from both the Line 6 Helix Stomp, and the Boss GT-1000 CORE equivalent - and has a little of the GFI Synesthesia in there too - where the new onboard control interface and topology is massively improved and far more logical and intuitive than the H9 ever was. Multitudes of us have been asking for a better and more intuitive interface - with more meaningful screen display. There is much to recommend the H9 - but its on-pedal interface has always been somewhat feeble, and without the superb Bluetooth connected App the pedal wouldn’t really have been particularly usable. As a long-term user and fan of Eventide’s H9 Max, the H90 Harmonizer has been something we have all been clamouring for - for a very long time.
