A new algorithm for the Eventide H9 was released, a harmonic tremolo they call "harmadillo".
As with most H9 modulation effects (not to mention reverbs and delays), this thing sounds great and to my way of thinking takes advantage of the things the H9 does well. It's free if you have H9 Max, but worth the few bucks they charge for it it if you have a regular H9 and do anything like roots rock, blues, rockabilly, country, classic rock stuff, etc.
Might work well with other styles, but I don't claim to know much about how effects work with metal and heavier stuff.
Harmonic tremolo was found on some of Fender's Brownface and Blonde amps of the early 1960s. It does things other tremolos don't do; At its extremes it can be dialed in to do a little of what a Univibe does with that squishy pulsation, but the real thing works on entirely different principles, and certainly sounds different from a 'Vibe at most typical settings.
It's been a while since I used a Brownface or Blonde amp with this tremolo, so I can't vouch for authenticity of tone, however the algorithm works for me just because it sounds quite nice on its own. Worth a try if you're an H9 person.
