Eventide H90 then???

It does, but friends don't let friends use digital drives.

"Drives"







or one dual tubescreamer I won't want to use

As a fan of Strymon pedals, I refuse to buy a Sunset or whatever the other one’s called. Ew. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for my analog drives, thank you very much.

Real OCD always wins out. Both the pedal and the mental affliction

I tend to agree in general but I do find some drives form the Helix, Strymon, and H9 to be fairly decent for digital drives.

FAS Klon is stupid good.

IMHO you shouldn’t easily pass the Strymon stuff off without trying them. Never played the Sunset but I really like the Riverside

The Helix Klon model is good too.

FAS SD1 is also good. Most of the drives are really good, I've found. But nothing has replaced my Keeley Fuzz Head.

It's decent. I prefer the FAS one though. I don't really like any of the other FAS drives on their own.

Yep I still prefer analog drives for sure and have a spent good money on them but the digital ones aren’t that bad. I could easily take my Helix and use it in 4cm with its drives into my amps instead of my traditional board. Would I prefer it? No but it’s not like OMG that’s bad.

Absolutely. People have preferences but I tended to not like any of the Fractal ones but the Helix drives for me were better but to each his own.

Back on topic has anyone heard a price on the H90?

$899

I get the aversion to digital drives with an amp setup, but with a modeler??? What does it matter at that point to add a few more 1’s and 0’s into the mix?

I think the Strymon Riverside is the best of the digital drives I’ve used personally. Not maybe the most unique tonally, but it does cover a ridiculous amount of ground and very well. (demoed a Sunset but never owned one)

$899

Yeah at that point I’d buy a used FM3 or HX Stomp

I have always wanted to try the Eventide stuff. But I am certainly of this mindset though.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Eh. It's fine.

I liked it when compared to itself. It was a little sizzlier and smaller sounding when side by side with the FAS one.

 

[Orvillain]

Well I'm getting one. Yes... buxxxx.... but also..... fuxxxx.....

 

[JiveTurkey]

I've got a custom one from PickDropper, and it's insanely good.

Not sure how "Klon"e it is; but I dig the heck out of the Sugar Drive I have. Analog dirt is

 

[ejecta]

Eh. It's fine.

Yep agree. I still prefer my Archer but like you said it’s fine.
