The H90 Harmonizer Thread

Securb So is there a new control app in the app store for the bluretooth to H90 or not yet?

It is the same Control app but now with Bluetooth control.

I was playing with the new algorithms. I could do something with Odssynth. Dublin sounds like Macca's Wonderful Christmas Time I think I will use that to drive the little lady batshit crazy.

So the H90 is changing my life, last night we built a whole new setlist and with seconds I had every tone preset in a list to reflect the list -so Im not jumping between tones in presets but just advancing a playlist at each point a tone or volume change is needed. Make sense? so an ALgorithm may be loaded 10 times into a preset because Im just advancing starting with 01 index
 
Much more organized than me, but I do have most of my set programmed, just not in order.

Some of the PolySynth algorithms are very sensitive to your guitar's volume knob in a very excellent and unexpected way. I would suggest playing around with them a bit.

NegativeEase man this was a confusing update. When I updated Monday, it seemed it was just Bluetooth connectivity for the old connect interface. I turned on my H90 this morning, and there is another firmware update and a new iPad iOS app available.

NegativeEase have you tried the new iOS app yet? I am absolutely in love with it.

I have not! I needed it the other night for sure though -during sound check I got a weird noise - thought I had an H90 issue but it turned out to be a power issue from the loopiing power out form my tuner to my overdrive.

Anyways because my gear was on Steven age and there was a crowd, a phone app to mess around in the H90 remotely would have ruled.... I didnt want to stage on stage messing with my gear before we played while another artist was playing.

I will check out this weekend!
 
Ive been playing bigger rooms this year, so Im back on my old 83 JCM800 so I've had to dial back some of the Weedwacker in my H90 because my Marshall has more inherit gain in the chain of course....
 
I might be building myself a deluxe rack now that Soldano is reissuing the X88, and although I would have preferred a racked unit, there is something fundamentally right about getting your effects from a Soldano is a case like this. However, I was wondering: does this do a proper dimension chorus? I remember looking this up for the H9 some years ago, and I think the answer that I came up with is that there really wasn't anything like it. This is probably my #1 effect, and I'd love to find a multi-fx that does it better than passably well.
 
You know I never actually looked for one on the H90. I bought a DC-2w before I got mine, so I just use the DC-2w for those types of sound.

I won't swear to it, but the micropitch setting might be able to get you close. You could definitely derive one for yourself using two choruses routed in parallel and out of phase.
 
I have not spent a lot of time with the BOSS dimension. I would hop on the Eventide forum and ask there. They have delivered whenever I have a similar question about duplicating a sound.

Here is an old H9 thread where they are talking about getting close to the BOSS with the H9. They say it's difficult with one algrythem. I would imagine one could get closer with the H90.

I actually remember seeing this thread years ago. This effect is something of a personal signature, and something that I would definitely look for in any future processors. I might make a user there and challenge people to get closer with the H90. Thanks for digging that back up!

Much obliged!

This one user came back with some great information about why it is impossible to nail but possible to come close. The H90 could easily do the DImention but the H90 would need some slight tweaking from their engineers. Not reinventing the algorithms but changing the way they are ported. Eventide is great at watching these posts and taking action on great suggestions, so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Yeah, I've been following the thread for the last day, and there seems to be some very knowledgeable people there – even somebody on staff, whose caveats are very understandable.

I need to find a way to A/B this. It being an exact replica is not a matter, but it needs to be in the ballpark. This is one of the things that the Line 6 family failed to capture: they have a dimension-style chorus, but it is so much duller than the original that I cannot part with it yet.

A lot of the algorithms they talk about in the thread are in VST format and available for free trial downloads. In my experience, the downloadable plugin versions are identical to the pedal versions. Sometimes even coping the pedal's UI/UX. I would suggest playing with some of them.

So a couple improvements to my overall H90 based rig.

1) run Line level on effects loops routing (sounds obvious) BUT also back down input gain a bit and keep output gain at 0 -dont run unity through H90 for high gain loop IME -it will preserve your pre amp tone BUT wont create feedback chirppiness on a high gain amp then offset that gain reduction at the post amp output.

2) If you want the best possible guitar tone with overdrive/dist effects on an h90 -run total mix/blend of H90 and Guitar around 40-60%. of course if your running an effect that should sound NOT like a guitar go 100%

3) Im considering running independent patching presets for all algorithms so my first program weedwaker hits the preamp and the second time based is in the fx loop and then on non overdriven algorithms with 2 timebased have routing keep both in the fx loop. But I haven't experimented yet though.
