Just in case you are in need of a bit more, if you love this sound as much as i do, hunt down someone who will sell you their free copy of Eventide Octavox from 2016 (otherwise its $200). Or Quadravox for half the voices and half teh price (and a lot more free copies out there) You can start with this pedal as a live effect, and get really wild with octavox's 8 voices (vs 2 of the pedal) when you go ITB. Its one of the real unappreciated gems because it can go so wild, but if you know what youre looking for it can really easily do some great classic effects like this. I find octavox 's 8 voices useful cos with 9 inc dry you get he original sound and 2 side pitches, a first pitched echo and 2 side micropitches, and a distinct pitched echo and 2 side pitches. This lets you do stuff like a delay an octave down and then up, or general octaver effects, with micropitch width.

I just bought a SPX90 a few weeks ago, this will be a trend I think. That Michael Nielsen vid from some years ago has taken effect hehe

I used a very similar effect on my vocals when calling a live auction. It keeps my voice clear, but thick and reaches the entire audience without overburdening them with volume.

I've been searching for this type of chorus sound for almost 20 years! I had no idea at the time, that it was the original Eventide rackmount effect. Closest I could find was a Boss Dimension C. Amazing. I know what my next pedal will be. 😎

GREAT video and beautiful sound, I could hear “Summer Nights” in that dry signal : ) Thank you Pete!!!!

Best video yet of this pedal! Very informative and amazing riffs and playing! Lovin' the sounds from this pedal and of course your magic fingers! This is going to sell well. 👍

Classic 80s tone. Your playing and production quality never seize to amaze. Its inspiring as hell 💪🔥

I’ve literally been asking for this for YEARS! For a simpleton like me that doesn’t like deep editing, it’s perfect!

The opening song was watched a few times before proceeding. Well done PT! Thanks for adding live 'heavy artillery'. Always appreciated. #petethorn #evh

CHEESY? What in the hell does that word really mean? Are we talking about Swiss or Cheddar? A couple of months ago, somebody else was talking about Eddie Van Halen and said they loved his first 5 albums, but couldn't stand the "cheesy mid-80's Van Hagar garbage". Is the early stuff less cheesy than the later stuff? Perhaps, any sound that warbles is cheesy? Which is more cheesy, VH debut or VH 5150? Why? TheGgreen100 thinks "Pretty Woman" is more cheesy than "Top of the World". Which is more Cheesy "Running with the Devil" or "Panama"? "Unchained" or "Without You"? Personally, I don't like the word cheesy unless i'm describing Justin Bieber or Leif Garrett or Tony DeFranco. I appreciate all types of effects whether it be static chorusing or chorusing with warble. Sometimes a particular effect will get overused and people tire of it and say it is cheesy. But sooner or later, it becomes popular again. I remember when the Yamaha DX7 came out and people thought it was the greatest synth ever, The DX7 was the shit and The Minimoog and Prophet 8 sounded cheesy. Today, the DX7 is probably considered the most cheesy synth that was ever made.

Seriously, you've got great chops AND a musical heart! I love the demo track! No joke, if you put an album of similar tracks, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Thanks for the fine music!

your explanation of how this acts as a chorus without modulation cleared things up for me- big time. I've run an MXR stereo chorus at the end of my chain for years to get "the spread". I set it wide and slow, but this Eventide is what I've been seeking. Thanks, Pete.

Another excellent demo Pete. Interesting that they included a delay line as well as the detune - really opens up the audience and potential for this pedal - justifying it's place on a pedal-board.

Sounded amazing. The intro reminded me of the main riff in “Can’t Get This Stuff No More” off of VH Best of Vol 1. 🤘👍

Awesome! Big difference. Thanx for the video, Pete.

Fantastic overview! I never understood the subtle control you can have with this effect - great stuff!

Love the Micropitch on my Eventide H9 Max. It's the effect I use from that pedal most often.

Amazing Pete !

Eureka! Thanks Pete, I've tried and failed forever trying to get this VH tone with chorus and could never figure out the secret. I have a Katana 50 amp and one of the built in stomps is a 2 voice pitch shifter that can do what this Eventide does. I never knew it even existed until checking after watching this video. I dialed in +5/-5 cents, run my MXR EVH 5150 stomp into the amp input--wow, the tone is nearly dead-on! More than close enough for less than $500 in gear.

Pete, i think you are great and a player with soul! thanks for your videos and talk about Eddie with that respect.

You can do a similar thing with a pedal like Boss's PS-6 Harmonist pedal in "detune" mode. Put after distortion with a stereo spread into two amps it's the "poor man's" way to achieve a tone similar to Ed's during the mid to late 80s' / early 90s.

Awesome, Pete. Sounds so great. I love your tracks, as well. The second iso clean guitar track’s chord choices are beautiful. And, Good Grief! Curt is just a monster. One of my favorite drummers. I want that pedal. I should buy that pedal. I will then reconfirm the need for me to get back to woodshedding. Anyway, great job, Pete. I hope you get back on the road real soon. Ask Curt to go with you. Rock On!

Ok. that was just plain awesome. Was researching the pedal, stayed for that playing.

I need this! Great tones 👌

The Helix HX FX that I have has a 'dual pitch' on it and I have to say that the "+/- 9 cents in stereo works like a charm.

I'm an Eeventide customer and supporter so as it happens for those in the same condition they mail me direct when there's something new in the pipeline. So that I was invited to have a look at a first YT demo ...after 5 minutes I decided to ditch the idea of this pedal. PT's is the second demo and ....wow ....that's a totally different story and this pedal is indeed worth of consideration now. :-)

That song is badass! Awesome guitar tone

I like that “Can’t Get This Stuff No More” by Van Halen vibe on your opening song. For a more modern tone, mixed with classic VH, those two songs, including “Me Wise Magic”, were the sound that I wished VH would have continued on with. It sounded a lot better than “A Different Kind Of Truth” and just … more classic Van Halenish, and Ed’s tone was rippin’ on them. We could almost hear the wood of his guitars, like the old days. Great video, great explanations.
