Offers almost every effect there is
The H9 series is Eventide's way of putting a programmable, editable array of effects into a compact pedal – and not just any pedal, but one based on their successful Factor stompboxes. The 52 effect algorithms available here are not just a matter of mere quantity – their quality is outstanding across the board, with a level of sophistication that matches the studio devices that gave Eventide its outstanding reputation. This pedal, with its flexible memory capacity and MIDI compatibility, can handle stereo inputs and outputs; every preset in the memory is assigned to one type of effect, which then makes use of the device's full processing power. Since it was brought to the market in 2013, the Eventide H9 has been a fixture on the pedalboards of countless professional musicians – including names like Peter Frampton, Dweezil Zappa, and Richard Devine.

Less really is more
The Eventide H9 Max gives users access to all of the US manufacturer's years of experience in developing digital algorithms, and that really does mean all. Unlike the standard H9 and the H9 Core, the Max combines all 52 effect algorithms from the entire Factor series: TimeFactor (ten), ModFactor (ten), PitchFactor (ten), and Space (12), as well as ten exclusive effects, including the rich Tricera Chorus, the synth-sounding HotSawz, the CrushStation and Sculpt overdrives, and the UltraTap, with its 64 delay taps. All this is accessible via a pair of footswitches, a central dial, and five LED buttons, with a screen displaying the effect's name and voicing. More in-depth editing options are available in an app (for iOS and Android) that connects to the H9 Max via Bluetooth, or via USB for macOS and Windows. Real-time control of the parameters is also possible via MIDI (or USB MIDI), external footswitches, or an expression pedal.

Maximum quality
The Eventide H9 Max is aimed at guitarists who have a real ear for quality, and who are unlikely to be satisfied with single-function pedals or traditional multi-effect devices. Eventide's algorithms are famous for their phenomenal audio quality, their musical and yet intuitive range of parameters, and their very progressive functionality. The H9 Max has a clear focus on maximising quality – the effects sound so authentic because its full processing power is always in play for each and every one. The individual Factor pedals may offer more detailed settings on their actual physical interfaces, but the H9 Max provides quick access to predefined parameters, all the presets, and selected functions like tap tempo: For example, the hot knob function allows an expression pedal to morph every individual parameter. Its sheer range means the H9 Max is not just for guitarists, but for bassists, keyboard players, and indeed for mixing in the studio, where its stereo capabilities are a huge plus.

About Eventide
The US manufacturer Eventide is one of the pioneers of digital audio technology. The company has existed since the early 1970s and began with developments in the broadcasting sector and digital delay effects. As early as 1974 they unveiled the H910, a pitch shifter revolutionary at the time. The H3000 (1986) was milestone in the field of digital effects and was very popular with professional musicians in recording studios and live performances. The following generations of this model were ever more powerful and culminated in the current flagship H9000. Since 2007, Eventide has also been developing compact pedals, primarily for guitarists and keyboard players. To this day, Eventide's algorithms are considered among the best on the market.
One pedal – a thousand sounds
Guitarists playing live can use the Eventide H9 Max for a whole setlist's worth of sounds, thanks to its built-in predefined programs, which can all be activated on the unit itself or via MIDI. They can then be tweaked in real time using tap tempo, an optional expression pedal, or again via MIDI. All this means that an H9 Max might, in one fell swoop, replace a handful of boutique pedals on a board. At the same time, running multiple H9s might make perfect sense too – either to play several algorithms at once or to insert them at different spots along the signal chain. For example, an overdrive or a pitch shifter needs to be in front of the amp, while time-based effects are better off in the amp's effects loop. In the studio, Eventide's handy editor gives producers all the options they'll ever need to dial in just the sound each track needs – and then save it so the band can use it when they go back out on tour.
