Introduction
Congratulations on choosing an Eventide stompbox. Our stompboxes put our rack mount
effects in the hands of performing musicians. The H9 was conceived based on requests from
users of our family of stompboxes: a smaller footprint on your pedal board, the ability to run
all of Eventide’s effects, along with an advanced preset librarian, remote control and effects
management system.
To meet these goals we’ve designed the H9 with a simplified User Interface (just one Knob)
and we’ve created a rich control app, “H9 Control”, which seamlessly pairs the H9 either
wirelessly via Bluetooth or via USB with your Apple iOS device or computer.
A Few Words of Advice
Our stompboxes pack an unprecedented degree of processing and flexibility into a compact
package. Our mission is to create products that give you the power to transform your sound
and we recognize that the key to realizing this goal is to give you the flexibility to bend and
twist this power in the service of your creativity.
We’ve worked hard to make the H9 easy to use. We’ve done our best to design an intuitive
User Interface to manage and control it. We hope that you will take the time to master it.
We know that you’re eager to get going and hope that you’ll read this User Guide. However,
if you read nothing else, please read The Basics.

H9 Control
This User Guide describes the functionality of the H9. All of this functionality and more is
accessible using H9 Control. To get the most out of the H9, we recommend downloading our
H9 app, H9 Control, to your iPod, iPhone, iPad or computer. H9 Control allows you to create
and manage a virtually infinite number of Presets, control and configure every aspect of the
H9 and audition and download additional Algorithms, Presets and Utilities. In addition, H9
Control offers a powerful librarian for managing your presets. H9 Control is documented
within the app.
