Not yet, but I have a few of their pedals and I really like the company.Have you tried the J Rockett Clockwork?
I havent but I am tempted...

Just unboxed my H90 yesterday. The new control software is very nice both functionally and aesthetically.Eventide should definitely invest more in the control software UI/UX. Unfortunately it’d unlikely drive product adoption.
SIFT is very new..... https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1162410The new pitch shifting algorithms on the H90 (Polyphony, Prism Shift) can't be matched (yet) on Fractal products. I don't know much about their touted new "SIFT" technology, but the pitch shifting sounds great and has no noticeable latency.

Exactly my point1972 is very new?
Or you could have bought almost another FM3 for the price of the H90.I see a lot of people talking about how bad is the H90 compared with the FM3. Why all the hate?
Come on guys. I'm a FM3 owner and i'm always trying to reduce its CPU usage by turning down caba resolution, by turning off one cab, by turning down the reverb's density, and a bunch of things i hate.
Don't get me wrong, i love my FM3 but it is not possible to get all that the h90 can give you without crashing the CPU.
I preordered a H90 and will get it in a few more weeks & i'm pretty happy about that.
I would do that even if i had a FM9.
It's just a tool buddies. An expensive tool, but at the end, if some people don't care to pay 900 for it, then they will get it. The H90 is coming home to make my workflow easier than ever. Live & Studio.
Yes and nope.Or you could have bought almost another FM3 for the price of the H90.
I can see benefits to the H90 for pedalboard users:
But let's not forget that as far as user interfaces go, it isn't exactly a trailblazer. Similar UI to the Line6 HX Stomp - namely shows few parameters on screen and requires plenty of paging to get to everything.
- Parallel routing of effects without buying a parallel mixer (good ones are expensive, even more so if you want it all in stereo).
- Maybe it does enough for your modulation/reverb/delay needs without having to go too deep into editing.
- It's easier to use than the H9 so it's a natural upgrade for people who used one or more H9 units.
In terms of caveats, the limitation to two algorithms and having things a bit all over the place has its problems. Fractal lets you build your own fx with blackjack and hookers, with basically any routing setup but at the expense of more complication in getting them just right as there are so many controls and less "we built all this readymade for you" things like Eventide offers, even if many Fractal preset fx types sound great out of the box.
After looking at the H90 effects, I felt that a good chunk of them are possibly to build with the FM3 alone, with the caveat that they won't be instantly switchable to something completely different for fx that rely on multiple blocks or particular routing.
I can't help but feel the H90 is something that should have come out a few years ago.
My apologizes if my grammar is not as good as i expected.Or you could have bought almost another FM3 for the price of the H90.

Funny, my impression in the thread is one of general interest and intrigue. I think there has been an honest questioning of the price point though.I see a lot of people talking about how bad is the H90 compared with the FM3. Why all the hate?

You can be someoneYou're totally right.
Will be perfect if (soon) someone opened a thread with some FM3/H90 owners so we could share some ideas about that match.
I was considering if I wanted to get the H90 to replace a Strymon Nightsky and Volante, but then figured that I would just run into the same problem I have replacing them with the FM3: I would lose the immediate "almost everything has a dedicated knob to it" functionality that a more narrow focus pedal allows. Instead it would be navigation to do stuff which quickly takes me away from creation and discovery mode to having to configure a lot of stuff to get where I want.There's a few people that are being a bit dismissive about the H90. Personally, I'm looking forward to getting one. I think it will be quite complimentary to Fractal (and other) gear.
Sure, it's expensive. But when compared to other devices in that class, the price is not surprising. If you buy a couple of the large Strymon pedals you're at about the same price and have far less capability. Heck, the H90 can do most of the things that 2/3 of the pedals that Strymon sells. Plus pitch shifting.
