And here's said demo
Great pedal! Really like mine!And here's said demo
You’re welcome!I watched Pete Thorn's demo of the Unit 67, and after seeing that, to those of you who suggested this pedal, I can only say...
Bastids.
As Tone-y posted, check out the Ryra. Awesome! And you know I’ve never steered you wrong!Yeah, I was ready to buy one before the end of the demo. Then went and looked at the price, and decided I might need to wait til after Christmas.
Oh, and this is after finally caving and deciding that I needed to try a Klon clone.
....you know I’ve never steered you wrong!
You’re a major part of the enabling (cough, cough) steering committee!
And damn proud of it, too!
I’m like Les - I’ve never put my pedals in the loop. So far, it just works for me.
I do have a few distortion pedals, my #1 being a ToneBone Hot British. I’ll use that if amp distortion just isn’t tickling me that day. I do want to get some sort of boost-type pedal - maybe an EP boost, a Unit 67 (again, bastids!), or possibly a pedal that’s made by one of the friends I made on BaM years ago. It has what I like about the 67 - the ability to add sparkle to the sound.
I’ve also toyed with finally joining the Tube Screamer brigade. I’ve never had one, and at times, I love the sound, but others...well, not so much. So who knows. Maybe I just need that pedal board Sweetwater built...
Whenever I buy multi effect, it lasts about a week...last I bought eventide h9 and I dont use it, somehow if an effect can do everything, that means it cannot do one thing special
I agree that things that specialize usually do their special thing best, and part of that is related to things that started life in the analog domain simply sounding different than digital replicas.
However, H9s do time-based effects like pitch and delay extremely well, to my ear among the best, and a bunch of other modulations (many of which I rarely use), well enough to be useful when needed.
Eventide invented many of the pitch effects, and things like their micro pitch shifts can add really interesting texture and life to a track, and they probably do that better than anyone.
I have two on my board, and they’re almost always in use for something. One reason I have them is the good time-based effects, the other is for things I use once in a blue moon, like phasers, flangers, wah, etc., and wouldn’t buy as standalone pedals. Combined with an expression pedal they’re very useful in my work.
Back when my studio was all hardware-based, the Eventide H3000 was essential to all of my work for its delay, reverb and pitch algorithms, and was kind of a secret weapon for lots of studio players. The H9 ported over a lot of H3000 stuff, though I think the big rack machine may have had a richer sound (and that is probably related to its analog studio circuitry).
In any case, if you still have your H9, you might consider working with it to mod the presets to your taste, and experiment with its truly excellent time and pitch effects.
As an example, it has the most effective ducked delay I’ve used, which is great when you want a good long delay, but want it out of the way of the notes you’re playing. The side chain is sensitive enough that it’s transparent in use. It’s typical of Eventide’s attention to detail in the things they do particularly well. I’ve always loved their reverbs also. They’re very natural sounding.
Hello, thanks for your message. I shouldn’t have picked at eventide bc they have prolly the best multi effect out there. I just don’t use it (well). My point is only that. I wanted to say that because I am probably lazy I don’t want to scroll through the menus. Now I did say when you have multieffect that does multiple things it does not do one thing special. Now, i have to qualify that statement. It doesn’t do anything special FOR ME. Thats because I like to have that one effect dedicated for one thing and have never quite got used to programming useful effects into like list that I can use. I probably would be lot happier with pitch factor than h9. Thats just me. Eventide has great effects, they are as good in multi effects as in individual pedals...I am just retarded, I have a PhD but when it comes to effects its like I take the path of minimal resistance...
