The Next Generation of Harmonizer® Has Arrived Pre-orders start June 3rd, with the first units shipping to customers on June 24th. The Eventide H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 brings one of the industry's most iconic multi-effects platforms into a new era. Delivering studio-quality sound and unparalleled creative flexibility in a compact, performance-ready format, the Gen 2 expands on everything players loved about the H9 Classics (Max, Core, Standard). Equipped with modern ARM processing, a faster, more intuitive workflow, and the full H90 algorithm lineup, this pedal is engineered to anchor today's advanced stage and studio rigs. Signature Sound & Advanced ProcessingBuilt on the same cutting-edge ARM architecture as Eventide's flagship H90 and H9000 processors, the H9 Gen 2 delivers higher-fidelity sound, significantly improved performance, and true effects spillover for seamless transitions between presets. It features a massive 74-algorithm lineup—including all 52 original H9 Max algorithms plus the full H90 library—spanning delays, reverbs, pitch-shifting, granular effects, vocal FX, and loopers. With proprietary Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking (SIFT) technology, the H9 Gen 2 delivers pristine polyphonic pitch-shifting, powering advanced algorithms like Polysynth, Polyphony, Polyflex, and Prism Shift. Built for the Stage and StudioNavigation is faster than ever thanks to a crisp 2.5" display, 3 tactile Quick Knobs, and dedicated button pads. Musicians can enjoy full parameter control directly from the pedal face without ever needing to open an app. The physical workflow rotates around three optimized performance modes: Select, Bank, and Perform, while customizable HotSwitch and HotKnob macro controls let you tweak complex settings in real time like an actual instrument. Seamless IntegrationWhether routing for a traditional guitar pedalboard, an amp effects loop, a hybrid studio rig, or vocal tracking via the Harmonizer+ suite (with MixingLink®, sold separately), the H9 Gen 2 is fully equipped. It supports dual instrument and line-level stereo I/O, flexible routing configurations (Wet/Dry, Pre/Post), 5-pin MIDI, expression/aux controls, and features built-in Bluetooth and USB-C for effortless connection to the Eventide Control app. Massive Library: Includes 74 studio-grade algorithms and over 1,000 factory presets out of the box, combining the complete H9 Max and H90 libraries.
