So many quality sounds, excellent support, a well-built, well-designed product. I had to think twice about spending this kind of money on a pedal but now that I have it, I'm glad I bought it.I really don't need any other pedals for the life of this one though I will probably buy a 'Core'as well so I can play two effects at once. There is a lot to learn and love about this box and it will take time to get to know it, especially if you're using it for gigs like I am. I feel there is nothing I could ever need that this pedal can't give me. If you're a great guitar player and need something to accent your style, you will not regret buying the H9 Max.

I play ambient, experimental, and also conventional music, and the H9 fits the bill perfectly for me. I split my guitar signal after a compressor between an amp sim (atomic Amplifire) and an SY-300 synthesizer, and the H9 now goes after the amp sim and is the ideal stereo audio companion to the SY-300 sound in my live stereo setup mix. I hooked in my expression pedal and it is very useful by default. But what really makes it convenient is the phone/tablet app. Excellent software and very easy to use. I set my phone in a holder on a mic stand and choose presets or adjust the device remotely with a touch through the bluetooth connection. No need to touch the pedal at all! Adjusting everything is easy with the app. I was clearly guided through the software installation and hardware updating procedure by the install process as well. Value is a notch off only because it is rather expensive. The one possible drawback is the fact it's one effect at a time, despite the wide raging choice of effects. For me this is no problem. The Amplifire and SY-300 both have good effects and I have a Obscura delay in my chain if I need to layer effects. I needed something to set off my conventional guitar signal chain, and this is PERFECT for me. And kudos to zZounds for getting this to me much faster than I thought it would take over a major holiday. I'm impressed.

This pedal has captured the interest of DJs as an external FX unit that could go toe-to-toe with the RMX 1000 - an external FX unit actually designed for the DJ.This pedal is extraordinary - the amount of FX and parameters it has are mind-blowing, and they can really set you apart from the competition. Like anything else, you won’t get the mind-blowing FX, if you don’t put the time in, and aside from learning how to efficiently use this pedal, you need to adjust the parameters for every FX you plan to use. You can do this straight from the pedal, or use the smartphone app, which is easier in my opinion.Personally, for me, I felt detached from my sets fiddling around on my phone to get the right FX and load up the right preset. I found myself ignoring the unit altogether and using my onboard FX as it was a more streamlined process.Please note that this is still a good FX unit, but you’ll have to take into account how this will be integrated in your set up, since at the end of the day, it was not designed for DJs. A suggestion would be to have an iPad set up exclusively to control the H9, which if this is you, I would say go for it, but if it’s not? We’re talking about $1,000+ (H9 + iPad) for external FX exclusively, which just isn’t ideal.Again, if you’re a DJ, this can work as an external FX unit. Just be ready to put in some serious time to learn how to use it and how to incorporate it in your set.

I bought the Max version so that I would have all the effects in one pedal and use the midi function with a single midi foot controller. Unfortunately, this is a single effects pedal only! Yes it has many effects built-in, but you can only use one effect at a time. So my dreams of having a clean floor space is over and I paid dearly for the name. This is a SINGLE effect pedal only. It comes with samples of their 4 different stomp boxes, but you can only use ONE AT A TIME. One of the most expensive single effect pedals out there. Eventide acts like Apple corporation, very stingy when it comes to using their product. You're gonna pay way too much for the name and get only a single effect. I always wondered why I would see more than one of these on someone's pedal board, now I know.
