Best Effects Pedal Ever!
Eventide really went above & beyond with the H90 Harmonizer.
Having owned some of the “bigger” Eventides, such as the DSP7000 and Eclipse, I was a little apprehensive about a “lower-cost” offering, fearing that too many corners would be cut. But I am beyond pleased with the volume & quality of effects as well as how ergonomic and easy it is to implement Eventide’s effects in a performance-based device. Working with the H90 feels more like “playing an instrument” than programming a computer.
It feels like a natural progression from their previous offerings, such as the Eclipse and H9. I’m a “tweaker” and I really love how easy it is to edit patches directly on the unit, without the need for a computer or tablet. After skimming through the manual (there are 59 pages of actual instruction - the rest is a table of contents & a description of algorithms), it’s very easy to navigate. Being able to use any 2 algorithms simultaneously in each patch you make, routing them however you like, has never been so easy! Using the added I/O, you can even insert other external effects between the H90’s patches (been having a blast, inserting an analog distortion pedal into H90 patches, both in series and parallel).
…and having presets for every algorithm (again, you get 2 algorithms per patch) as a starting point is wonderfully inspirational - didn’t expect that.
BTW - I also use the H90 to make electronic music and I love how you can switch any of its inputs/outputs between high impedance instrument (guitar) level and line (synth/drum machine/sampler) level. There is no longer a need for re-amp boxes!
The only “problem” I have found with the H90 is now that I’ve used it for a while, I want more Eventide! :)
