- Eventide's mighty H9 Max has consistently remained a bestseller since its initial release, with players flocking to it for a loaded effects experience in a compact, pedalboard-friendly package.
Now, the brand is back with a slightly bigger and even better pedal that may truly be the last multi-effect you'll ever need: the Eventide H90 Harmonizer.

If there's an Andy demo of a pedal it's always my first watch. In this case, I needed no convincing as I already have one on order and can't wait to get it.
I think it’s priced just right. The H90 is replacing the Space, ModFactor, two TimeFactors, and a PitchFactor on my pedal board.
Not a chance.
@@MiguelBaptista1981 true. I ended up keeping Space for the end of the signal chain.
"My Clean Tone"
hahaha classic Andy
;)
the h9 used to cost a testicle... this one cost both
You could buy an h9 core, max and midi controller all used and spend about $900. That would take up about 100 square feet on your pedalboard (and take several hours to set up) but you'd also have more presets depending on your midi controller. That's my pref
17 seconds album... The CURE
I hear complaints that this is too expensive. Given that Andy basically scratched the surface here, it seems the possibilities are endless with this thing.
Fractal FM3
It’s not expensive compared to what else is out there. I just think prices in general have sky rocketed and what people make has stayed the same.
@@scottmoreau5630 Try a Fractal FM3 and get back to me. Im drowning in my Meris LVX/ UA Golden Reverberator at the moment. Otherwise Id be back to buying a Fractal.
It's cheaper than a used eclipse. My eclipse cost me 1200 USD
@@John-e4p1x Sorry, not sure what your point is?
Thank you AM / Reverb - love Andy's gift of being the ultimate demo ambassador. Also, at being the bball ref for Josh and Paul - cheers!
4th pos pickup stratocaster through the "djentle clean" preset is aural bliss.
Hey, there's your clean tone!!! Nice one ;)
As always great demo!
Welcome back man, we missed you! Happy you are ok!
Thanks so much, glad to be back!
shoegazer haircut
This thing costs more than my last three weddings.
Married 3 times explains the Ukraine support. Moron.
I'll get this expensive babe because of its flexibility, its horsepower, and its time-base effects and pitch shifters. Some of its modulation capability is great as well. Not convinced by the phasers and rotarys, though, and still not convinced at all by digital OD-distortion-fuzz.
Great demo by Andy!
Andy is so amazing at making any sound from any pedal very useable! It's so great to watch!
Best Pedal Demo'er there is. BEST.
Good to see you back in action, Cheers Andy
I've had one on "Backorder" since November 18th, 2022. This helps me be patient, knowing it's worth the wait.
Glad to see you back!
Thank you!!!
I know how many hours you spent on this demo. Thankyou it sounds great. Love the new studio/ lighting.
The Godfather blesses us with his online presence.
So, a nightmare. Its functionally a nightmare to use. Roger that, good video as always, Andy.
Seems fine to me. Big, good quality screen, nothing too unintuitive about the UI, plenty of controls, and a well integrated editor. If you want a nightmare interface go try to program a DX7 or something, this is a walk in the park compared to that.
Great studio pedal.
Much love Andy. Glad to see you again.
So glad I got the LVX
OMG after thousands of hours watching Andy I think I just heard his first bum note 4:28. He's human!
Or was it? Hmmmm?
Glad you are back!!
Have to be a genius to dial this thing in. Sounds good
Or just under 30 yrs old........ I love deep DSP stuff, but my old eyes are having a harder time with tiny displays!!
Thanks for the demo, but…….option paralysis.
It's so bright and shiny... I probably don't like...
Is there a recommended multiple pedal power supply for this H90?
I'm i hallucinating or his voice has some glitches in it? Like if it was timestretched
He’s not kidding about that weed whacker. Was wondering what I wanted on the board with it. Still kinda wondering 😂😂.
Is that a Nik Huber hanging in the background? Nice guitar!
That thing could replace my huge pedalboard. But I'll need to sell a guitar to buy one! The old H9's are getting cheaper. I may add one to my madness.
The Godfather knocks it out of the park again!
Just got this and waiting its arrival. Thanks for a nice review.
The opening salvo sounds like The Cure.
What guitar Andy playing?
Glad you're back Andy!
lol the My Clean Tone preset
Pale shelter action
Way expensive for what deliver... I will keep my pitchfactor
Nice sound eventide
Thanks andy
So cool.
Best demo yet !
I am the guitarist in a Stoner/Space Rock band. I heard Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd in 8th grade and have been obsessed with Delay Pedals and the like since.
I own a MXR Carbon Copy, a Line 6 Echo Park, a TC Electronics Flashback 2x4, a Boss DD-8, a Digitech Space Station, a Joyo Aquarius, and a Rowin Time Maker.
Love them, but other the last few years the follow have come out:
Meris LVX
Hologram Microcosm
Hologram Infinite Jets
Empress EchoSystem
Chase Bliss Mood v2
Red Panda Particle
Dwarfcraft Grazer
Drolo Stammen
Free the Tone Motion Loop
Walrus Lore
Pigtronix Echolocation
Strymon TimeLine
Vongon Polyphrase
Eventide H90
Boss DD-500
Universal Audio Starlight
And on and on.
The way the pedal world has gotten, I literally can’t afford a single one of those.
I suppose I could sell a bunch of my delay pedals that I own, but I’m kinda resentful of the fact that in order to get effect tech from 5 years ago, I would have to sell a good handful of great pedals.
It really genuinely bums me out. These new things cost as much as an actual amp or a fairly decent Fender guitar.
I’m glad they exist, but it really is genuinely out of reach for a lot of working musicians I’m sure.
Just more toys for the Blues Lawyers.
Okay, so A) cry more, and B) half the pedals you own sound better than this sterile new shit.
Eh not really, a lot of guys finance this shit, and most people I know have day jobs which allows them to pay for this stuff.
Excellent review. Such great stuff. The Eventide pedals.
You gave us all the good stuff to make an informed decision. Thank you.
Andy is an excellent musician, that’s why he is so good at doing demos.
Super cool, but I don't think I'd use more than 5% of the tones it's capable of.
That’s exactly how I use my brain.
Shame on reverb for for attempting to deceive us in the clearly scripted part of Andy’s opening segment to say that the H90 contains “Every” Classic Eventide Algorithm when when they should have had him make it perfectly clear that it only contains every Eventide “H9” algorithm (Which are definitely not the legit Classics but just watered down guitarist friendly pedal versions).
Because then he goes on to say that the H90 even contains two of Eventides highest quality Rack version algorithms( which are actually the true Classics)-
right after you just had him imply that it contains all of them and it made him look foolish.
You obviously know these units better than him and understand there’s a significant difference so please cut the shit because it’s comes across as sneaky and deceptive and a credibility killer for those of us who know better.
@@klownaround5464 You cannot really go wrong with anything Eventide-
They have the most amazing quality effects in the world so know you will always have the very best.
The H90 is also amazing and everything they build will last forever.
If you can get the H9 max cheap now then of course do it-
But the H90 is even better in some ways and you will keep it forever.
Saw another video where the guy started shredding on the Shoegazer preset. Completely missing the point of the preset.
Can has Andy to Demo MERIS LVX?
Menu diving 😫
What turns me off is needing a computer to tweak this to its full capability…. I want all of the knobs on top to control major parameters. No Computers!!! Buzzkill!!! Haha. Sorry!
It sounds very nice but for ~$100 more, why would we not simply buy a far more capable Fractal FM3 Turbo? I imagine the FM3 would cover 95% of these tones (at least) AND ALSO offer Cabs, Distortion, additional I/O, a PC editor and much, much more. To answer my own question, perhpas the H90 is a great studio unique tone creating "tool" for various instruments whereas the FM3 is much more guitar-centric. Both are good- get what works for you.
H90 is crazy on the studio, synths sound amazing through it. For me that's it's main selling point
@@Douglas117955 If it works for you. Just seems very pricey.
@@MOAB-UT If you're solely a guitar player, there's no need to get it. But having one unit take care of my whole home studio mixing is amazing
first!!!!!
Honestly, it sounds like digital trash.
Damn it has a glossy sheen. Unsure about that; too much of that shimmer-type candy coating on all the patches.
Tracking issues I hear. If you’re spending this much in digital processing I think it’s time to move to hexaphonic pickups and effects like the Boss SY series
Hi there, as we all know the Reverb virtual assistant is about as much use as a chocolate frying pan, so if anyone reads this and knows anything about Reverb, can you answer a simple question. On my mobile app there is an "updates" icon, I can't find it when using my computer account, am I not looking hard enough, or is it not there? Cheers
Answering this for posterity - Apps require you to agree to update the app. Your computer account is likely not app based. It's probably web based. Any updates would be done by Reverb without your permissions.
@@andyorr1597 Answering this with appreciation.
Thanks matey🙂
