Eventide H90 Dark
Eventide has produced a limited run of their industry-leading H90 Harmonizer multi-effect processor in a shadowy, sleek, and pitch black enclosure. Building on the decades-long reputation Eventide has for top-notch DSP, the H90 offers up everything from delays and reverbs to pitch-shifters, looping, and so much more. Thanks to its impressive processor, the H90 is able to bring you all the legendary effects from its smaller counterpart, the H9 - plus an additional 14 effects and counting, as Eventide continues to push the boundaries of desktop and pedal effects units. Stack two effects in a variety of routing options, or use its multiple pairs of I/O to add insert effects from other units in your arsenal, making the H90 a potent playground for inspiration and creative signal flow.
While all sorts of effects are available on the H90, Eventide's groundbreaking developments in pitch tracking and manipulation are where these units earn their name as Harmonizers. Eventide's proprietary technology, Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking, or SIFT, allows for polyphonic pitch tracking on even the most harmonically dense of sound sources. This allows guitarists and other polyphonic instrumentalists to create pitch shifting effects that move with stunning clarity and responsiveness, summoning other worlds of sound which can be further processed with the remaining algorithm slot. Shimmering golden reverbs, space-grade shifted delays, and more are all achievable, offering endless empowerment of even the most radical of musical moves.
Diving in and making music with the H90 is easier than ever, with plenty of physical controls, a brilliant OLED screen interface, and a customizable performance mode that keeps the most crucial parameters close at hand (or toes!). In Perform mode, you can assign effects parameters to macro-style HotKnobs, instantly recall settings with scene-like HotSwitches, or keep essential controls at your disposal by assigning them to the QuickKnobs beneath the screen. For even more control, two expression controller inputs are available for both an expression pedal and footswitch, and the unit can be fully controlled via 5-pin and USB MIDI. Whatever control scheme you have up your sleeve, the H90 is ready to become a performable instrument in its own right.
In addition to the aforementioned routing options for series, parallel, and insert FX combinations, the H90 is a skeleton key of studio connectivity. While it works great as one of the most advanced guitar pedals in existence, engaging line level input turns the H90 into one of the most versatile studio effects processors in its class. By enabling dual-mode, the H90's four inputs and outputs provide the possibility for addressing two instruments entirely separately, or sending parallel processing to separate amp outputs. For the deepest tweaks and studio integration, the H90 control app allows you to control and automate all parameters and settings on the device. With this much flexibility in the studio, it is no surprise that the H90 is the go-to studio effects workhorse for home studios, creatives on the go, and industry professionals the world over.
Unlike its limited-edition black enclosure, the shadow the H90 casts over lesser multi-effects is here to stay. Not only is this one of the most powerful effects processors in its size, it also offers the flexibility to fit into the modern musician's workflow - from studio session to stage, from bedroom to stadium, the H90 continues to open new worlds and expand the outer limits of what we expect out of a pedal. Whether it's your first effect unit or your 50th, the H90 Harmonizer Multi-effect Pedal from Eventide might just be your last. Now back in black, it's a better time than ever to hear how the H90 brings harmony to your pedalboard.
