I think people dont get the presets are always over the top, the trick with the eventide stuff is using it with the correct settings for your guitar as its so varied and extreme you just adjust to perfection
Correct settings per guitar? That makes perfect sense for impedance (where most multi-effects presets fall flat), but not for the preset design. The utility of over-the-top presets is limited to rare use cases, and often get lost in a mix (or worse, cause issues with a mix).
Note also this is working through the Programs and a Program is two Presets working together. Switching individual Presets on and off within a Program would have made this demo much longer but you might have found some of the individual presets more tasteful.
Thank you. This is exactly how equipment demos should be done... Maybe a small section showing off the basic controls, then no more than 20 or 30 seconds per sound. Nothing as annoying as someone spending several minutes on one sound just because the person likes to listen to themselves play.
Patch 47 exemplifies why you should never judge a unit on the presets, some great patches in here and some clearly made by programers however some of these are clearly aimed at keyboard players. Thanks for the run down!
This unit is nice. And I understand that someone could really dig into it and create their own patches, but the overall sound of the presets are just not impressive to me. Way too many spaced out patches. The thing that I really enjoyed, was the guitarist performance of the presets. With every preset, something different was performed on the guitar. That speaks volumes as a musician. Thank you for making this video and demoing this product. I hope you have a wonderful day and God bless. 🎸
Thx for the feedback👍🏻. These units have no IRs or preamps so simple effects like the tape delay sound more impressive through an amp. This was recorded direct and may fall flat sounding to some.
Yes I agree, I just don’t like the sound of Eventide for anything other than micro pitch. Their delays and reverbs have a harsh clinical sound to me. Nothing sounded better than the original H3000 which was a huge 2 rack space unit that most guys only used for micro pitch.
@@BrevSullivan It wasn't too bad. I don't know if you noticed, but, you were picking up some pretty nasty static pops. I was picking up the same problem. I found that a good grounded power brick along with a noise gate helps. Those two prong adapters that come with most of these type of devices really stink it up pretty bad. Wrapping RF chokes around your DC feeder cables and certain audio cables also helps.
@@PMiller3425 I agree with you Patrick. Actually I own one H90. After two weeks I’m still trying to get a sound I like from it. I feel it’s overall sound a bit harsh/boxy/honky ( at least connected to my rig ). Also in mono, I still prefer my mxr reverb! YES, it is a great unit, an engineering masterpiece it has great algorithms. But overall I think it’s not my sound. I’m still exploring it.
I have the h9 max and I know a lot of the reviews use clean but I’m a rock guy so I add a Friedman distortion pedal a lot in and you would be surprised of the sounds.
Exactly I have a Max and a standard!! Dude the best delays and harmonizer effects!! They can do anything you can imagine!! You also have to know how to alter your picking to fit the delay!! A lot of the effects sound best with distortion!!
If I read the manual correctly it can only do effects at once. I would think that with a pedal like this you could do at least four or five effects at once. Would someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks so much for the demo of this and it was well done, too. I'm a Helix user and the only thing I really miss from it is a good harmonizer, I keep hoping it'll eventually show up in one of the software updates they do about twice a year or so. No denying the quality sounds from Eventide and yes, as usual, they go overboard showing off the effects in the presets, but I do wish I heard a simple harmonizing of a melody line to know how "natural" sounding that would be. Thanks again and good luck with it.
Thanks, woke up and did a short clip for you of the Diatonic Algorithm in C major. Tracking is phenomenal. Same deal as my DV Mark Multiamp. no harmonizer so I always had an H9 pedal for acurate pitch. ruclips.net/user/shorts5QaBymcuW4c
@@BrevSullivan Thanks a bunch! Sounds quite good actually. Nice to hear it w/o the wash of delays and reverbs, too. Awesome of you to share that. All the best, musically and otherwise.
Thank you for taking the time. Great demo. I personally think that the delays are great, though longer delay time than 3s would have been welcome. The modulations sound really good too. The reverbs veer too much on the washed out ambient for my taste but I suppose that editing can fix that in some cases. I don’t like the distortions at all.
How easy is to set and access your favorite presets? Is it like the Boss SY-200 that you can move their order and limit the range of the switches (A and B) so you can rotate through only a few instead of all of them?
Two algorithms can be used simultaneously time however in the H90 preset list there is a modulation/delay algorithm.You could then add a reverb as your 2nd algorithm achieving the 3 desired effects in one preset.
With tax its only $1000.00 USD ! I like how this Brev runs through this. I wish someone could do a guitar demo for practical uses this is so wet and unbearable at times. Guitarist never us 90% of the factory presets. The flanger, shimmer, delay, chorus, are nice. Great tone by the way BrevSullivan. Thanks
Thx. Check my other vid. It dives into how take advantage of many of the parameters. More to come targeted at practical rig presets. ruclips.net/video/UYZfKCT7jlA/видео.html

A 1000 bucks it’s a little too much… But’s still cheaper and have more possibilities than having a timeline and a big sky in a Pedalboard. When it comes to pedalboards, everything gets extremely expensive
Can find my post to edit but thank you for running this pedal as dry as possibke because it gives people a more clear picture of a pedals capability instead of sponsored youtubers who mix the shit out the sound and present an unreal expectation out of a pedal. This used to get me when i first got into buying gear and i would always why the hell the pedals i purchased sounded nothing like other youtubers.

@@BrevSullivan sounds pretty good. Do you honestly think its worth the price and would you say you like reverbs better than say bigsky or empress reverb? I have seen mixed reviews on whether its worth it or not. Do the existing algos from the original h9 sound the same or better?
@@joeymc5272 Yes. Prior to the H90 you needed two H9s to achieve half of what the h90 is capable of. This is the same price as two H9s plus tons more functionality.

I have owned pitchfactor and space twice... wonder if the company will be aorun dmuch longer. They sholdve just dropped the price of the eclipse to 900 bucks and called it a day. This pedal is a joke... Thanks for your demo thought I will watch it fully on monitors
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h I think they will be around for a long time. They sold a ton of H9s, and I’m thinking they will sell a ton of these, also. I’ve had an H-3000 for about 25 years. Still sounds great today. I’d like to get an Eclipse. But they are expensive, even the used ones.
Hey Brev, really dig your coverage on this unit! Is it possible to use a suhr micro midi controller (or any other midi relay switcher) to get the H90 to change amp channels on a valve amp which has trs outs? I know you can do this with a boss gt core or hx stomp so would be great if this could be done with the H90. Cheers!
Thanks. I’ve not tried that combo, and I don’t like to speculate but seems like it should work successfully. I typically I use a Morningstar mc6 to command stuff with the H90 following. The only scenario I’ve used with the H90 first as a midi switcher controlling amps is with a 5150 head and a DV Mark head but that’s become those amp heads have built in midi already.

Nice demo, but, for the grounding issue; did you hear the loud static pops? Those ambient reverb and delay effects made them even worse as they kept repeating throughout the repeats. Static electricity on guitar is a studio engineer's worse nightmare.
@@BrevSullivan I'm glad to hear you figured out what it was. In my case it was something wrong with my Mexican Telecaster. I still haven't figured out what it was. Although it seems a dedicated power supply does seem to mask the problem. I have it taken apart now. It was wired in some goofy way, never seen anything like it before. I'm completely redoing the whole thing and customizing it. None of my other guitars were giving me a problem on simple adapter power supplies. I tested the guitar for ground faults but couldn't find anything.
@@BrevSullivan The problem I was having was in the winter with static. That one guitar seemed to be more susceptible to pops. All I'm saying is that the Voodoo Mondo power supply seemed to get rid of 90 percent of more of the problem. By the time I added a dedicated noise suppressor pedal it was pretty much completely gone. I had the noise gate turned practically all the way off. I suspect that there is a lot more to the pedal than the gate. I think that there may be something in the circuit that absorbs power transients, I'm not exactly sure. It seems that even the best of guitars have some issue in the dryer winter air. A good power brick that has a third dedicated ground wire plug seems to absorb these pops much better than two prong adapters.
@@BrevSullivanOf course that I am great-full for all your efforts and time spent to help all of us get the real impression of this great machine. I am just not great funn of jazz accords. Thanks again and excuse me if I cause any bad feelings. It was not my intention.
I am a guitar player, this unit didnt convince me at all... I prefer Strymon pedals... in that impressive way of being impressive with guitar effects... honestly.
@@calebriley7466 Factory preset designers go over the top with presets to demonstrate the capabilities of the unit. Because they can, not because they should.
You are hearing this direct to a computer, no amp, preamp or cab sim. You analog pedals would sound the same if you plugged them direct into a computer and recorded. Cheers and thanks for watching
it seems everyone on RUclips is demoing this with a direct input into the computer, which is a shame, cos all multi effects sounds "80's" without an amp, and even with an amp a lot of the time
I’m a dude who has played in bands for 20+ years. Toured, recorded at least 15-20 different releases. I know a lot of other working musicians who are roughly my age and not just a younger kid scrapping by. Adults, many with good paying jobs. I don’t know a single person who would spend 1000 dollars on a pedal. This shit is made for Blues Lawyers and Rich Kids.
Hmm I think your beef may be a little misdirected at home YOU TUBERS who don’t tour and the pedal is getting dissed along with it. It’s 2023 and much respect to anyone with tour experience, BUT since the operative word for you seems to be TOUR.. I too currently tour with this pedal with a Van Halen tribute, other multiple acts, and then I turn around and do jazz fusion on off nights from the ‘tour’ and need the same pedal for the Holdsworthy stuff. Also played Jazz w my father, using a Jazz box, small amp and no pedals. Still worth the $ for what I can create with it. Cheers Justin and hope you have great day.
I am a dude who has been playing piano and guitar and harmonica for the last 41 years, owns strats teles and analog and digital synths. So, eclectic. Not everyone has to be Keith Richards or Jean-Michel Jarre. You can be both. To each his own. The least we can do, is respect them all. Some of us buy $4000 guitars and some $1000 pedals. Peace.
I have more than twice the cost invested in my current pedalboard. Buying this costs less than half my board and replaces 80% of my pedals. Not to mention the smaller footprint and less crap to move around. Anyone who's complaining about the cost just like to flap their mouths and complain about anything and everything, like their opinions mean something. Try sitting down with your gear. Add up what you've already invested, including your time. I'll bet you'll find it doesn't cost as much as you've already spent.
this pedal is clearly targeted to electronics and lo-fi musicians but being a guitar effects company they made some presets for "political correctness" so I am not surprised many guitarists here complain. for me beeing experimental electronics user this pedal is a heaven of possibilities, however, still, the price tag is ridiculous for "just another pedal" on your shelf 😁😁
The pedal has a ton of features under the hood, parameter control, midi patch bay, midi control, dual mode, and functionality beyond what is seen here. My other vid goes into details.
...and in the end its music that counts, not the effects on it... a musician should think spending 1200€ for an effect, or to invite a nice girl for dinner, and in the end playing a song for her with an acoustic guitar in the hotel (😁) ... think about, music and girls are different things... the only effect you need is feeling to creat a great song and the rest you know...lol
@@allanb1402 Compared to this $10 behringer screen? YES, they were. Are you kidding... do you work for this company? What is up with Eventide they have been falling apart for years now.... its a joke.
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h lol no I don't work for Eventide. TBH I've not been a fan of much that they've done since the 80's. I was initially drawn to this pedal because of the Worship Tutorials demo but as soon as I saw the price that was a big nope.
@@allanb1402 Yes I am watching WT now it sounds great there sometimes but its the PRICE OF A FRACTAL FM3 WHICH IS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD in every way. I think a lot of people left eventide, then someone saved the company, and now its run by some kid/s some punk kid... the kid who announced the rose pedal... which I thought looked cool, but I remember that moment being like what is going on with eventide? Since then its been downhill... this pedal looks like it cost anywhere from $10-100 max to produce. It could not look any more cheap.

I tested the guitar for ground faults but couldn't find anything.
@@damonshanabarger2604 Most Eventide uses bypass that included adaptor and use the the Cioks.
@@BrevSullivan The problem I was having was in the winter with static. That one guitar seemed to be more susceptible to pops. All I'm saying is that the Voodoo Mondo power supply seemed to get rid of 90 percent of more of the problem. By the time I added a dedicated noise suppressor pedal it was pretty much completely gone. I had the noise gate turned practically all the way off. I suspect that there is a lot more to the pedal than the gate. I think that there may be something in the circuit that absorbs power transients, I'm not exactly sure. It seems that even the best of guitars have some issue in the dryer winter air. A good power brick that has a third dedicated ground wire plug seems to absorb these pops much better than two prong adapters.
Why on earth are you showing this great device only through jazz chords?
I think what you meant to say is “Thanks for taking the time to go through all presets. Cheers and don’t be a grinch merry Xmas! 🎄
@@BrevSullivanOf course that I am great-full for all your efforts and time spent to help all of us get the real impression of this great machine. I am just not great funn of jazz accords. Thanks again and excuse me if I cause any bad feelings. It was not my intention.
ever notice how these commercials never have the price. i never subscribe when creators do not tell you they got a free pedal...
I’m sure you meant to say thank you and Your very welcome for me demoing all the sounds
I am a guitar player, this unit didnt convince me at all... I prefer Strymon pedals... in that impressive way of being impressive with guitar effects... honestly.
Lol! Said no one ever in the audience “Darn I can hear those delays are Eventide’s, not Strymon”. It’s all in your hands not the effects.
It's 2022 and dual effects processors have finally dropped! YAAY
Trance dance algorithms !
metroid flashbacks
Those distorted sounds seem really awful to me 🤷♂️
Hmm your hearing the pedal direct into a computer, no cab sim. Any dist pedal would sound awful direct . The clean effects are what we’re after here.
And the choruses don't sound very convincing, very exact. Not in a good way. Revrbs obnoxious and sterile.
Not loving this, everything is washed in verbs and considering it an Eventide I’m unimpressed with the harmonizing patches
But thanks for taking the time to let us hear the patches
The effects are cool but my lord the drives sound terrible
H9 Max owner. This is a nice demo of a seemingly endless series of unusable presets.
I love the h90.
If they are unusable, that says more about you my friend😂
@@calebriley7466 Factory preset designers go over the top with presets to demonstrate the capabilities of the unit. Because they can, not because they should.
Boss GT1000core. Money left over for beer.
I think I will stick with my overpriced analogue pedals for a more natural and organic sounding effect. 😃
You are hearing this direct to a computer, no amp, preamp or cab sim. You analog pedals would sound the same if you plugged them direct into a computer and recorded. Cheers and thanks for watching
@@BrevSullivan , for this reason it would be really nice to hear how they sound through a valve amp ,in order to compare to overpriced analogue pedals
it seems everyone on RUclips is demoing this with a direct input into the computer, which is a shame, cos all multi effects sounds "80's" without an amp, and even with an amp a lot of the time
Amps and cabs are all too varied, hearing it direct into an interface was a good move. Thanks for the video
I’m a dude who has played in bands for 20+ years. Toured, recorded at least 15-20 different releases. I know a lot of other working musicians who are roughly my age and not just a younger kid scrapping by. Adults, many with good paying jobs.
I don’t know a single person who would spend 1000 dollars on a pedal.
This shit is made for Blues Lawyers and Rich Kids.
Hmm I think your beef may be a little misdirected at home YOU TUBERS who don’t tour and the pedal is getting dissed along with it. It’s 2023 and much respect to anyone with tour experience, BUT since the operative word for you seems to be TOUR..
I too currently tour with this pedal with a Van Halen tribute, other multiple acts, and then I turn around and do jazz fusion on off nights from the ‘tour’ and need the same pedal for the Holdsworthy stuff.
Also played Jazz w my father, using a Jazz box, small amp and no pedals. Still worth the $ for what I can create with it. Cheers Justin and hope you have great day.
I am a dude who has been playing piano and guitar and harmonica for the last 41 years, owns strats teles and analog and digital synths. So, eclectic. Not everyone has to be Keith Richards or Jean-Michel Jarre. You can be both. To each his own. The least we can do, is respect them all. Some of us buy $4000 guitars and some $1000 pedals. Peace.
I have more than twice the cost invested in my current pedalboard. Buying this costs less than half my board and replaces 80% of my pedals. Not to mention the smaller footprint and less crap to move around. Anyone who's complaining about the cost just like to flap their mouths and complain about anything and everything, like their opinions mean something. Try sitting down with your gear. Add up what you've already invested, including your time. I'll bet you'll find it doesn't cost as much as you've already spent.
Using this does not mean you can play! Its like you have to figure out what to play to make it sound good !
It does sound good thoug. Especially since this is recorded on a phone or something...
Phone? Was recorded though an SSL with over quality converters! Lol was recorded to LOGIc pro no phone was used.
@@BrevSullivan Uh oh... um.. what was the full chain? sounded noisy... ill listen with real monitors thouhg
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h ouch
97........PUMP up the mix to 90% I beat that would be amazing ambient.......bruh
Thanks. You get those effects for free in a Kemper profiler.
Where do I sign up for my free Kemper?!?!?
this pedal is clearly targeted to electronics and lo-fi musicians but being a guitar effects company they made some presets for "political correctness" so I am not surprised many guitarists here complain. for me beeing experimental electronics user this pedal is a heaven of possibilities, however, still, the price tag is ridiculous for "just another pedal" on your shelf 😁😁
The pedal has a ton of features under the hood, parameter control, midi patch bay, midi control, dual mode, and functionality beyond what is seen here. My other vid goes into details.
Only heard 6 patches I would ever use.!
For me that's a 100 bucks A patch.!!!
I'll pass..!!
...and in the end its music that counts, not the effects on it... a musician should think spending 1200€ for an effect, or to invite a nice girl for dinner, and in the end playing a song for her with an acoustic guitar in the hotel (😁) ... think about, music and girls are different things... the only effect you need is feeling to creat a great song and the rest you know...lol
Perhaps you should post a video then on how to make girls (or boys) swoon and make music with 0 pedals. I don’t see any on your channel. Cheers.
Too expensive and too many options. You DO NOT need all this, if your songs good, nothing else matters.
Eventide should be put in prison for usinfg that cheap display. Looks worse than a Behringer. Long time eventide customer here, btw...
Yeah because the dot LED's on the Timefactor and Pitchfactor were so awesome :P
@@allanb1402 Compared to this $10 behringer screen? YES, they were. Are you kidding... do you work for this company? What is up with Eventide they have been falling apart for years now.... its a joke.
@@user-zv7lm8uk7h lol no I don't work for Eventide. TBH I've not been a fan of much that they've done since the 80's. I was initially drawn to this pedal because of the Worship Tutorials demo but as soon as I saw the price that was a big nope.
@@allanb1402 Yes I am watching WT now it sounds great there sometimes but its the PRICE OF A FRACTAL FM3 WHICH IS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD in every way. I think a lot of people left eventide, then someone saved the company, and now its run by some kid/s some punk kid... the kid who announced the rose pedal... which I thought looked cool, but I remember that moment being like what is going on with eventide? Since then its been downhill... this pedal looks like it cost anywhere from $10-100 max to produce. It could not look any more cheap.
