Loaded with 66 meticulously crafted effect algorithms, including 14 groundbreaking new additions such as Aggravate, Sticky Tape, and PolySynth, this pedal is engineered to ignite creativity in both studio environments and live performances. While often associated with electric guitars and synthesizers, the sheer versatility of the H90 opens up exciting possibilities for adventurous acoustic players, perhaps even those seeking to expand the sonic palette of a Burswood Acoustic Guitar. Whether your goal is to achieve classic, essential effects or to delve into uncharted sonic territories, the H90’s robust ARM-based architecture ensures unparalleled performance. This limited-edition Dark version not only boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic but also represents a significant evolution of the acclaimed H90 Harmonizer, solidifying its status as an indispensable tool for discerning musicians.
Exploring Advanced Algorithms for Innovative Soundscapes
At the core of the H90 lies a collection of 66 sophisticated effect algorithms, with 14 entirely new creations designed to redefine the boundaries of effects processing. Among these innovations are Aggravate, a commanding octave fuzz inspired by the iconic analog fuzz pedals of the 1970s, and Sticky Tape, an evocative emulation of vintage tape echo, complete with adjustable drive, compression, and captivating wow & flutter characteristics. Furthermore, the H90 incorporates advanced polyphonic pitch-shifting algorithms, leveraging Eventide’s Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking (SIFT) technology. This ensures pristine pitch accuracy, free from unwanted artifacts, making it ideal for crafting harmonies or exploring radical pitch manipulations. From the lush expansiveness of rich reverbs and the crystalline clarity of pristine delays to the raw intensity of aggressive distortion and the dynamic transformations of pitch-shifting, the H90 provides an expansive sonic palette. This vast array of textures empowers musicians to sculpt sounds that range from subtle enhancements to dramatic transformations, suitable for any genre or style, and potentially inspiring new dimensions even for a burswood acoustic guitar.
Seamless Integration and Flexible Routing for Enhanced Workflow
The H90 Harmonizer is meticulously designed to serve as the central hub of any musician’s setup, offering true spillover between Programs for seamless transitions and powerful dual-algorithm functionality. Users gain comprehensive control over signal flow with the ability to route effects in series or parallel, shaping the sonic architecture to their precise requirements. Two mono insert points (configurable as one stereo insert) allow for the integration of external effects pedals or outboard gear at any point in the signal chain, further amplifying the H90’s adaptability. Whether integrated into a sophisticated studio environment or a dynamic live performance rig, the H90 supports both instrument and line-level operation. This versatility accommodates a wide spectrum of instruments, from guitars and synthesizers to full band mixes, ensuring optimal signal integrity and clarity. The unique dual-mode capability extends the H90’s power, enabling the simultaneous processing of two independent stereo signals. This feature is particularly invaluable for musicians managing complex multi-instrument setups or those seeking intricate stereo effects, pushing the boundaries of what’s sonically achievable, whether with electric instruments or even experimenting with processed sounds from a burswood acoustic guitar.
Live Performance Optimized Controls and Interface
Engineered for the demands of live performance, the H90 features a high-resolution OLED display providing clear visual feedback and five robust push-turn knobs for tactile, immediate control over parameters. In PERFORM mode, the H90 unlocks access to six programmable footswitches, assignable to essential performance functions such as tap tempo synchronization, reverb freeze for ambient textures, delay repeats for rhythmic manipulation, and expressive pitch flex effects. The front panel also incorporates three Quick Knobs, designed for rapid adjustments of key parameters on the fly, ensuring critical sound shaping is always within reach during dynamic performances. For expanded hands-free control, the H90 includes dual expression pedal inputs, supporting external auxiliary switches and CV signals. This extensive control capability is paramount for live scenarios where precision and real-time manipulation are crucial, allowing performers to dynamically shape their sound without interrupting their performance. This level of control makes the H90 an ideal tool for expressive performances, adaptable to various playing styles and genres, potentially even adding a new dimension to live acoustic performances.
Effortless Customization and Deep Software Integration
The H90 Control software elevates the user experience, making the process of editing and organizing sounds intuitive and efficient. Available as a dedicated application for iPad, Mac, and PC, this software suite empowers users to fine-tune every parameter of every algorithm, create custom Playlists for streamlined setlists, and meticulously organize their preferred Programs for instant recall. Firmware updates, preset management, and comprehensive Program editing are all seamlessly handled through the software interface, ensuring the H90 is always equipped with the latest features and enhancements. For users requiring advanced command over their sonic landscape, the H90 offers extensive MIDI capabilities, facilitating complete integration into sophisticated MIDI-controlled rigs. Whether in the meticulous environment of the studio or the unpredictable energy of the stage, the Eventide H90 Harmonizer provides the comprehensive toolset needed to sculpt sound in previously unimaginable ways, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration for all musicians, regardless of their instrument, even opening up new sound design avenues for players of instruments like the burswood acoustic guitar.
