Essential Information About the Eventide H9 Max Multi-Effects Pedal
- Preloaded Max Version: all algorithms from the TimeFactor, ModFactor, PitchFactor, and Space pedals, plus the Looper and exclusive H9 algorithms.
- 45 algorithms and over 500 factory presets covering delay, reverb, modulation, pitch, and more.
- Ultra-simple interface: a fully standalone pedal with a single control knob and dedicated parameters.
- Advanced wireless editing via the H9 Control app (Bluetooth) to create, organize, and manage presets, even across multiple H9 units in real time.
A Concentration of the "Factor" Series and Eventide Reverbs
The H9 Max brings Eventide's DNA into a pedal format: the main effect families from the TimeFactor, ModFactor, PitchFactor, and Space pedals, plus algorithms unique to the H9. The concept is simple: capture Eventide's "studio" tone and precision with a modern, preset- and control-oriented approach, enabling you to switch from vintage delay to cosmic reverb or harmonizer in seconds.
For Which Guitarists (and Styles)?
The H9 Max is designed for musicians seeking a high-end multi-effects pedal without multiplying pedals: stage guitarists and bassists, ambient texture creators, fans of prog, rock, pop, electro, modern metal, or anyone needing a compact yet ultra-versatile pedalboard. In the studio, it excels at modulation layers, complex delays, intelligent pitch effects, and deep reverbs; live, its presets allow quick and reliable changes.
Controls, Editing, and Workflow: Designed for Presets
The H9 Max's ergonomics focus on efficiency: a central control and dedicated parameters to sculpt effects, with an advanced preset logic. Controls include HotKnob (performance macro), as well as X, Y, Z parameters and preset management. Using the H9 Control app (Windows, Mac OS X, iOS), you can finely edit sounds, organize banks, and control multiple H9 units in real time. H9 Max owners can also share their algorithms across 4 H9 pedals via a single account.
Sound
True to the Eventide signature, the H9 Max delivers a clear, spacious, and highly detailed sound with dynamics that respect your playing and a "high-definition" feel on delays, modulations, and reverbs. Algorithms can remain pristine and precise or become massive and textured (shimmer, reverse, animated modulations, creative pitch), making it an ideal pedal for modern sounds, cinematic atmospheres, and expressive foot-controlled effects.
