I was looking for Spring Reverb and better Reverbs in General so I picked up the H9 Max to test.
The Room was killer good. The Chorus very lush. But nothing else in the unit was better than the Kemper.
I also realized I don't want Spring Reverb as much as I thought I did. I want ROOM Reverb. And I can get that from my Ocean Studio UAD plugin. So I'm set.
This unit seems to be for people who really love digging deep and tweaking, but you can't use multiple effects so it's pretty limited. I didn't find it worth the price for MY needs.
What it DID do was give me a much better appreciation for the Kempers effects. They are VERY good, not just "good enough". Missing really is maybe a great Room and lusher Chorus compared to the H9.
The H9 isn't an Eclipse or FXII or for that matter, my old Digitech ISP 33B's Delay/Reverb. That unit still kicks ass 30 years later!
I was also disappointed that the presets I was trying out from exchanges were just, well, weird. Nothing very usable. And I couldn't find anything like "RUSH", you know what I mean?
In Summary, it's for people trying to make new sounds, not really for people trying to cop old sounds as much, unless it's just one pedal on a whole pedal board. But even there, there are many better pedals I've had in all departments. Even the Chorus.
The only thing it excelled at was "ROOM" IMO.
