Eventide H9 Harmonizer Gen 2

Brand

Eventide

Eventide is a renowned American company specializing in advanced audio effects processors and plugins for musicians, engineers, and producers. Founded in 1970, Eventide gained early recognition for its groundbreaking digital effects, such as the H910 Harmonizer, which introduced pitch-shifting and time-based effects to the industry.

Over the decades, the company has continued to innovate, producing high-quality rackmount units, pedals, and software that offer complex, studio-grade effects including reverb, delay, modulation, and pitch shifting. Eventide’s products are highly regarded for their versatility, pristine sound quality, and sophisticated features, making them a staple in both live and studio environments across various genres.

Multi-Effects Pedals

A multi-effects processor combines several effect algorithms and signal-routing stages in one unit. Its sound depends not only on the individual models but on their order, parallel or serial routing, processing resolution and available control. Preset structure, switching gaps, foot control, expression assignment, amp or cabinet modelling, USB audio and MIDI determine how completely the processor can replace separate pedals.

Bluetooth

Provides a short-range wireless data or audio connection. Depending on the design it may carry backing audio, editing commands, preset management or MIDI rather than the live instrument signal; codec delay and supported Bluetooth profiles determine what the connection can do.

Hybrid

Combines analogue and digital stages within one signal or control design. A digital section may provide memory, routing or modelling while analogue circuitry supplies clipping, filtering or amplification, so the order and blend of the two domains shape the final response.

MIDI

Sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying the instrument audio itself. Program changes recall presets, continuous controllers move parameters, and MIDI clock or transport messages synchronise timing between devices.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

Vocal

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
