The H9 thread

BumFace

I've only tried crush station through a tranny amp and two of the 14 or so sounded useable. I'll stick it through t'proper rig, see what it's like.

New algorithm coming....SCULPT. 

From the Eventide Forum....."it's a multiband distortion so you can get different levels of distortion in the low and high bands"

Funnily enough I was thinking of trying the source audio multiband grunt. I'll use this instead.

A new video up on Sculpt :

Nice to see someone other than Alan doing the demos. Dint think I'll be in a hurry to try it though...

hubobulous

They've obviously concentrated on the wah application, but I can see this potentially being useful to really find a sound to cut in the mix. Will be interesting to hear what the base gain tone is like.

Sculpt is out - I won't get to try it out for a couple of days - someone report back when they have?

I'll try and give it a go this evening. Thanks for the heads-up

Anyone got sculpt yet? Any good?
I've been meaning to get it but life keeps getting in the way.

hubobulous

I've not yet, but will certainly be taking a look soon. I like the idea, even if for just one or two uses. Sounds like a very nice option for truly finding a place in the live mix

@jamiexsilver I've been trying out Sculpt and I'm not normally a fan of digital distortion/OD but I really like this. It's really good for running a dirtier signal into a big reverb, and the Wahs are brilliant. Though I never thought to use my H9 for dirt, I'm definitely a fan, though it could never replace my Frazz, Kilt or Warthog.

hubobulous

Wahs are definitely of interest to me. Even if I don't really use them live, this sort of patch I think might make me look at things differently in terms of what could spice up a normal rhythm or lead part

BintyTwanger77

@hubobulous I have found sometimes some dirt pedals into bigger reverbs can sound a bit fizzy, like bad prog, but Sculpt sits very well in the mix for that.

I'm late to the game but fudge me side ways the h9 Max is amazing.

@hubobulous - D, what H9 download did you demo at the last GearFest for the Royal Blood song? That was spot on and very impressive.

hubobulous

@Kebabkid - that was a patch using the Crushstation algorithm. So effective when octaves are bought into play

I've owned a SPACE before and I was massively impressed and I say that as someone that isn't all that excited by reverb.
I had the modfactor as well but I didnt get on with that at all.
For some reason the modfactor plugins now sound great and I adore the pitchfactor stuff. Even the drives aren't that bad at all which really surprised me. I love the sag control as well which makes everything dead spitty and nasty
Even the delays are great, I am loving the dual delays and it can do all the odd stuff the vox delaylab could do. 

so yes I'm very, very impressed. I might even get a Core to go with the max...

Question for H9 users. I am doing a deep gig in about 2 weeks time and have to learn about 40 songs. I need 2 specific H9 patches.

we are doing every little thing she does by the police. The classic chorus from vintage delay (time factor) fits the bill nicely. During the verses (arpegiated chords) I want some delay and chorus and during the chorus I want no delay (just chorus)..... So I have linked the expression pedal to the delays and use that to switch......but it's not that effective and goes funny on the trails. Any suggestions? (I don't have a separate chorus or delay pedal)

we we are also doing brown eyed girl. Not my choice but (as I am admittedly a shit guitarist) I need a cheat for the intro. I can play the melody in single notes but struggle to play the harmony part well. I think it's 3rds. I have the h910 and crystals algos but I am buggered if I know what to do with them.

all suggestions welcome!
