Eventide H9 MAX

An Eventide Icon Revisited: The "Harmonizer" DNA in Gen 2 Style

At Eventide, the word "Harmonizer" is not just marketing jargon: it's a sonic signature that has spanned decades of studios, racks, and pedalboards. The H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 continues this legacy by offering a major update to the H9, featuring a modern ARM processing architecture and direct access to a wide palette of algorithms from the H90 and H9 Max.
The result: a pedal that retains the ultra-premium "sound box" spirit of the H9 series while gaining in editing comfort and responsiveness. Whether you're seeking intelligent harmonizations, lush delays, deep reverbs, granular textures, or sophisticated modulations, the Gen 2 fully embraces its status as a high-end multi-effects unit built to last.

A Multi-Effects for Demanding Musicians: Stage, Studio, Pedalboard, Synths

The H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 is aimed at guitarists and bassists who want a creative tool rather than a simple "one trick" pedal. It's also well suited for keyboardists and producers looking for inspiring treatments to place in insert, aux, or effects loops thanks to its instrument- and line-level compatible I/O.
On stage, it shines with its control logic (Select, Bank, Perform modes), built-in tuner, and spillover management that prevents abrupt cutoffs during sound changes. In the studio, it becomes a texture generator: micro-shifts to widen a mono take, locked rhythmic delays, shimmer and massive reverbs, or polyphonic pitch shifting to transform a simple line into a full arrangement.
And if your playground is vocals, the H9 Gen 2 can also become a true vocal processor: paired with the Harmonizer+ suite and the MixingLink preamp (sold separately), it enables exploration of harmonies, transformations, and creative treatments designed specifically for singing.
