Good playing, but are any other pedals before the amp ? Very important, and misleading. Sounds great, but hopefully Tim there aren’t 5 boutique pedals hooked up. Answer, Eventide has some great stuff.
I don't know why I tune into this channel and watch Tim play other than the fact that I love to listen to him play. It only takes a minute for him to prove beyond a doubt how smart I was to hang on to my day job all these years.
Musician = person that drives a 500 dollar car with 5,000 dollars worth of equipment to a gig that pays 50 dollars. For 99.9 percent of players, being a pro is an invocation, not a vocation... but, that's not the point...
I bought one for my birthday. I played a whole day with a very subtle room reverb. The effect itself was barely audible but it made the guitar sound so good that I couldn’t get enough of it.
Tim, I'm still floating over the fact the you played the fantastic lead on Bon Jovi's Runaway. That is truly one of my all time favorites. Just awesome!
The ballerina preset is for the track off Steve Vai's Passion & Warfare. The distortion effects are overlooked but add some useful colors to your palette.
Just traded out my old HX effects for one of these yesterday. Honestly, it is like getting the effects engine from every high-end processor on the planet (Fractal, Eventide, Kemper, etc) in a tiny little box. It alone blows the HX series stuff out of the water. The character of the tone and effects is truly something special. I run this in stereo in the loop of my Synergy rack and it is glorious. Totally silent and zero delay in effects switching.
Tim, I love your videos and watch every single one! Not because I am always that interested in the actual review but to see the joy you get from playing, particularly in your intros! Your joy brings joy to me! Thank you!
Useful to see you go through many of the algorithms Tim from your musical perspective. I love this pedal as well. Love you and your channel! Thanks for spreading your knowledge with such enthusiasm!!
One of the most useful and trustworthy gear reviews I’ve ever seen. He didn’t try to sell me a crap pedal. He showed me why one of his pedals is great. I’d have saved thousands had they all done that.
I set up an in the drawer Iphone 6 which is clipped to the mike stand for the 10 settings I use it for most the time..then you buy the Barnes 3 and attach this to the front which give you up down on the fly,,you set your 10 most used settings on the first 10. Troy Van Leeuwen has this all over the QOTSA. The key is to go into the crazy settings and then you tweek them back to make them musical as Tim says!
Yup. I was thinking “this is one of the most renowned guitarists of my time and I could technically play all that but NEVER create it or get that hand feel”. That’s so much more interesting and respected by me than shredders.
My issue with many of the ALL IN THE BOX FX pedals is that If I want to have different iterations of things - I can't have them all running together and then switch them in or out of the signal sequence like I could with individual stomp boxes. For a session player, these units make a LOT of sense ... but for somebody looking to experiment on the fly organically, these units have their limitations.
My H9 has been cemented to my board for nearly seven years. It does so many things so well it’s ridiculous. Not to mention it does so many things that no other pedals can.
Every vid that starts with your leads inspires me to pick up my guitar and try more. Its the smile part plus the expert skill and musicality of the work.
Mr Pierce Sir 🤘 I have watched your “ radio friendly smiles “ evolve for a number of years. Now sir may I recommend mr Einsteins great quote. “ education is what’s left once you’ve forgotten everything you learned in school “ Rock on 🤘 ☮️🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸☮️
Not trying to sound like a trip, but I own 5 H-9 Max pedals. I actually run two H-9s one two separate EHX Key-9 that run parallel into a mixer that makes it sound like keyboards are following my guitar chord progressions. I put one in my Kemper effects loop too, which runs parallel into mixer.... H-9 Max is beast!!!
I have 2 H9 Max (es?)..anyway..the sheer amount..of useable, musical and creative sounds in those white boxes is mind boggling and endlessly inspirational..and then there's the app tweakablility..on and on..thanks Tim for preaching the gospel of the mighty H9!
One very cool thing that Eventide’s doing with these H9’s is that if you buy a Max, you not only get ALL of the algorithms, you get ALL of the new ones they ever come out with FOR LIFE! AND ...(“but wait, don’t call yet, there’s more!”) if you buy a Max, you can connect up to 5 Cores (the cheapest version) and you can convert all of the Cores into Maxes FOR FREE!!!! Brilliant!!!!
@@boogingtonthunderwood8969 wow! Thank you, I was just watching this video and thinking if I get another H9 at least I get a lot of the basics and I can work around with my Max. Wow! That is so cool. I know what I'm getting next! Thank you! You got 4?! You the man Sam! :)
Studio69 Thanks, bud. I wound up with 4 because since they’ll only do one effect at a time, I wanted to have one for each pedal application (modulation, time, environment, and color) so that I have independent control of each. Also, be sure to check out Barn 3’s aftermarket stuff for H9. It adds two more buttons to it that you can program to do anything, along with the Tesla remote switch that you can also program to do whatever you want, plus the ability to put it anywhere on your board that you want. I have a Tesla switch on the very bottom left corner of my board and I programmed it to toggle in and out of tuner mode on the furthest left H9, along with muting the signal when it’s in the aforementioned tuner mode. It’s also handy to use as a crude mute for patches like Shimmer for when you want to abruptly kill its decay. Just a quick two stomps on the Tesla in and out of tuner mode. (I’m sure there’s a more elegant way to do it. Haha but it’s gets me where I’m goin’.) Enjoy, brutha!!!!
@@boogingtonthunderwood8969 huge thank you for your detailed tips my man!! Four would be very nice, I definitely catch your drift :D Whatever I put through the H9 just sounds better :) Such a great little beast!
@@anonymousforensic I went with a Dunlop Volume X to go with my HX Effects because I can use it as a volume pedal at either end of the signal chain or as an expression pedal.
Tim, great video so glad you did this one. I have had my eye on Eventide gear for awhile. I am debating an H9 vs one of the older rack mount style Harmonizers (that I've wanted since high school lol). Can you comment on how the H9 compares to some of that older rack gear or even the Eclipse? I am mainly looking for the diatonic harmonies, delays, reverbs etc... just the basics really. It seems like some of the newer patches can kind of go off the deep end pretty quickly.
Haven't listen to this entire video yet but does this unit worth the price for acoustic guitars? I have tons of effects the last 40 years but quality tone for acoustics is my favorite.
One thing that people fail to mention that I love is the fact when using Computer, iPad/iPhone or Android you don't have to keep bending over to make adjustments on a pedal, it's right at your fingertips!
I got the H9 a couple months ago. Awesome sounds with my Orange Rocker 32. The Orange is true stereo which makes the sound quality unbelievable. To be truly usable though you need a midi pedal to control it. I'm using the Morningstar MC6 midi controller
You know I’ve had one of these for quite a while and I’ve alway really liked the sound as well. Especially the delays. Recently, I’ve dug it back out and begun to work with it again. I’m at this place now where everything in it is so great all over again. I’ve got to say, you’ll learn to appreciate this pedal more after you take it off your board for a while. Great video, and thanx to you! I’m off to use this puppy right now!!!
Excellent video and absolutely great playing! I was considering one of these, and now I might just get one. Thank you for taking the time to make this, it was very helpful!
Tim - as always INCREDIBLE vid. I have had an H9 for several years. Love mine, but have not even scratched the surface. TOday - as a result of your vid - I am going to spend some quality time with this pedal. You mentioned several times that you were running in front of the amp - am I correct? Distortion on your amp or a pedal before the H9? Thank you so very much for your great videos and assistance to guitarists and musicians. Appreciate it!
Great video from a true master. I run two H9’s on my board and they’re not coming off. The units can obviously do hifi, but there are some fantastic retro sounding low fi reverb and delay tones, which I use most often as a matter of fact. Also nice G&L Doheny! Those pickups look aftermarket though with some writing on them? What are they?
WOW! That was GREAT! I always thought of the H9 as being a device that would be best used in an amp's FX loop, but Tim really shows off some great capabilities that it has running in front! This could replace a bunch of devices I have in front of my amp currently! Thanks for posting this! This site is great! :)
I like your demos Tim. I don’t have to wait for some guitar player to show me all he’s got for the one effect. What tops it off is by the time you're done we have heard every algorithm on board. Very productive demo thanks.. Michael...MikeLWork
Good Job. I just got a H9 Max. I play a Robin Trower Style Blues Rock sound. This will be Great. I also have a Volume pedal I hope to use with this to control the speed etc on chorus and Uni Vibe. Keep up the good work...Im a Old school Guitar Player that 1st Album was The Whole Darn Family Has Arrived. Im the guy driving the Rolls. Hope to release some of my New Music next year. Tommy TBAR Bryant
I love how Tim just pulls out a different awesome guitar as he navigates through all the pedal sounds. Lol. Yeah let’s just use this killer Les Paul, or custom Tele, etc.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Side is way harder than it looks! I mean, it's not hard to play slide, but it's hard to play slide in TUNE. Tim does it perfectly.
Right now I am trying to decide between just the Blackhole pedal (I have to have that algorithm) or get a H9 Max. I already have a Boss DD-500 and it's great (the Tera Echo is superb). I even like my first generation TC G-Major, but I would really love a pedal that could do it all and save space and cables. An H9 together with the DD-500 would be glorious. I only have to decide how big of an argument I want to risk.
The Line 6 M5 pedal offers MIDI functionality but a limit of one effect at a time. Still, the effects it offers includes trichorus and Dimension D modulation which is more than most at the same price point. Worth considering for those whose budgets can't stretch all the way to an H9.
Absolutely love your leads. You're creative and tell a story with dynamics, covering a wide range of styles. I creative ryhthm player, my leads sound mondaine to me.
With Tim's playing, listening to these demos is just pure fun for me... Question 1: Can you put two or more of these effects into a preset? Like a pitch shifter from the Pitchfactor into the Blackhole from the Space? Question 2: Will one of the rackmount units (DSP-series, H-series, Orville, Eclipse...) get me more flexibility in regards of designing my own effects? EDIT: 12:33 Wow, so lovely
Excellent video. Question on the routing. So I see the manual says you can connect guitar to input one and effects loop send of an amp to input two. Then connect the h9 output one to amp input and h9 output two to the effects return. Then use the pre post routing in a preset to change. Question is: is the pre / post setting able to be set on each effect within a preset or is it set at the preset level and all effects within the preset get the same setting? I would think the effects within the preset can be set independently. As to set modulation effects to pre so they go to amp input and time based effects to loop return. Then save the preset. Sound about right? I am trying to find that answer before I purchase one. Thank you for your time. 🤘
I wanted one until I saw a friend at a gig attempting to switch presets multiple times in the middle of a song using a sideways foot technique to hit both switches at the same time. Not for me, but it sounds great and I bet it's killer for studio use tho! For DSP stuff strymon is king in my opinion.
Juan Fichtl I have 4 H9’s on my board. For all 9 of my current pedals, I use a Boss ES-8 switcher. After you set up your presets in it, just stomp on one button on the ES-8 and all of the H9 patches are automatically changed through MIDI, along with activating/deactivating whatever else I might want in the chain on my board for a given song/passage/whatever. But to be honest, the upper row of my board is all H9’s and other than my JangleBoxJB3 for Ricks and my mini-wah , the rest of the bottom row is redundant, thanks to the H9’s. (Sorry for such a lengthy reply.)
I recently sold my entire pedal and amp collection that I’ve had for forty years...replaced everything with a HX Stomp and a H9 Max and I’ve never been happier!
I have owned the Kemper and Axe Fx3 and still own a Helix... that said I switched back to a tube amp with the torpedo live for cab emulation (when needed) and in my opinion it is the best setup around. Being able to use my tube amps again is just the best. Not trying to say that you are wrong... to each their own... but if someone is thinking of this approach and reading I would suggest checking out a cab modeler. That said, your happiness might depend on the amps you own..I have a few good ones :)
Phil Frank ...every single pedal, rack gear and amp I’ve owned over the last 40 years (in fact my entire recording studio) now fits into a backpack...the future is now
Such great playing, no matter on what machine :-) I bet hardly anyone says they wanna sell their guitar when they see you play….you just make people want to grab their instrument and get happy too. That‘s at least how I feel watching you play.
Love that Tim always looks like he is enjoying every second playing.
Your playing really makes your videos a joy to watch.

I absolutely agree with you! With 2 H9 you can make huge sounds and forget a lot of other boxes!
Tim looks so happy playing in the beginning. It really brightened my day.
One of the best pedal ever made hands down.

If Tim Pierce were to say that to me - it would be framed and hanging on my wall - so get to it @RobertBaker
Eventide stuff always sounds great. I know this is an older video, but I'm looking at all of their pedals.
I love how studio musicians never really over play.
Absolutely, he isn’t just spraying notes around like some generic metal guy who makes it impossible to judge the project.

So good I bought TWO....you only have to MAX out one for all to be Maxed.
Tim, you're a sick man! Such a joy to hear you play sir!
Thanks Tim. The H9 IS an incredible pedal that I use almost exclusively when recording. Eventide is releasing some of these algorithms as plug-ins.
The joy in your soul can be seen playing that intro

Grammatically, the correct way is to say you have “two H9’s Max.”

H9 is my Swiss Army knife, on my board for years now. I play Stereo in a small duo and it really fills out. Now, if I could just play like Tim.
Great playing, love the enthusiasm :)
For anyone interested these are available used, at all times essentially, on reverb.com.
With Tim's playing, listening to these demos is just pure fun for me...
Question 1: Can you put two or more of these effects into a preset? Like a pitch shifter from the Pitchfactor into the Blackhole from the Space?
Question 2: Will one of the rackmount units (DSP-series, H-series, Orville, Eclipse...) get me more flexibility in regards of designing my own effects?

Excellent video. Question on the routing. So I see the manual says you can connect guitar to input one and effects loop send of an amp to input two. Then connect the h9 output one to amp input and h9 output two to the effects return.
Then use the pre post routing in a preset to change.
Question is: is the pre / post setting able to be set on each effect within a preset or is it set at the preset level and all effects within the preset get the same setting?
I would think the effects within the preset can be set independently. As to set modulation effects to pre so they go to amp input and time based effects to loop return.
Then save the preset.
Sound about right? I am trying to find that answer before I purchase one. Thank you for your time. 🤘

I just stumbled upon this video and was instantly hit with tasty playing! Subd
I love the H9. Since they’ll only do one trick at a time, I wound up with 4 of them.
The equivalent of a half-acre pedal board.
You must have a great job as they are now going for $699.00… yikes!
@@funnyharleyman only the Max.
Your face always looks like you don't play guitar, but by coincidence just hit an awesome note :-D Love it!!
I wanted one until I saw a friend at a gig attempting to switch presets multiple times in the middle of a song using a sideways foot technique to hit both switches at the same time. Not for me, but it sounds great and I bet it's killer for studio use tho! For DSP stuff strymon is king in my opinion.

I have 4 H9’s on my board. For all 9 of my current pedals, I use a Boss ES-8 switcher. After you set up your presets in it, just stomp on one button on the ES-8 and all of the H9 patches are automatically changed through MIDI, along with activating/deactivating whatever else I might want in the chain on my board for a given song/passage/whatever.
But to be honest, the upper row of my board is all H9’s and other than my JangleBoxJB3 for Ricks and my mini-wah , the rest of the bottom row is redundant, thanks to the H9’s. (Sorry for such a lengthy reply.)

Every video here is like a music lesson for me I love what you play
I recently sold my entire pedal and amp collection that I’ve had for forty years...replaced everything with a HX Stomp and a H9 Max and I’ve never been happier!
Will - love my Stomp, how are you using the two together? Stomp controlling amps and cabs/IRs?
I have owned the Kemper and Axe Fx3 and still own a Helix... that said I switched back to a tube amp with the torpedo live for cab emulation (when needed) and in my opinion it is the best setup around. Being able to use my tube amps again is just the best. Not trying to say that you are wrong... to each their own... but if someone is thinking of this approach and reading I would suggest checking out a cab modeler. That said, your happiness might depend on the amps you own..I have a few good ones :)
See how you feel in five years. Good luck to you.
Will right that’s how I roll as well
Phil Frank ...every single pedal, rack gear and amp I’ve owned over the last 40 years (in fact my entire recording studio) now fits into a backpack...the future is now
Such great playing, no matter on what machine :-) I bet hardly anyone says they wanna sell their guitar when they see you play….you just make people want to grab their instrument and get happy too. That‘s at least how I feel watching you play.
your vid made me dig out my H9 Max again ... Thanks
And no link! Awesome. Actually someone you can trust on RUclips.
Amazing set up
Hi awesome video! I assume h9 Max would be able to pull off "Knife Drop" from h90 completely since it has HotSawz?
Thank you! I agree just so musical
