Eventide announced the H9 Harmonizer Gen 2 on June 9, 2026, a second-generation version of its compact multi-effects pedal with 74 algorithms, more than 1,000 presets and a redesigned interface¹.

The Gen 2 carries all the algorithms from the H9 Max and H90, though it runs one at a time¹. Eventide says the pedal uses full ARM processing, and Guitar World reports it is the same ARM processor as the H90 and the H9000 rack unit¹². SIFT technology handles the polyphonic pitch algorithms, which MusicRadar lists as Polysynth, Polyphony, Polyflex and Prism Shift¹. The algorithm set covers delay, reverb, pitch, granular, vocal and looping effects, including the Granular family of Cosmic Web, Glitch, GrainMod and Stutter, and Crystals, which MusicRadar describes as evoking the H3000¹³.

The 6-character LED screen of the original has been replaced by a 2.5-inch display, with four knobs, four button pads, two programmable footswitches and two contextual LED buttons¹². Pedal of the Day lists four core modes, Select, Perform, Presets and Parameters, plus HotSwitch and HotKnob macro control³. The pedal has stereo inputs and outputs, 5-pin MIDI in and out/thru, USB-C, expression and aux switch inputs, and a built-in tuner, and it is compatible with Gen 1 presets³². Eventide says Bluetooth for the Control app on Mac and iPad will come in a future update¹³.

Pre-orders are open, with shipping on June 24¹. Guitar World gives the US launch price as $599².
