Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.53% — moderately similar

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Eventide Eclipse is a rackmount multi-effects and harmonizer processor offering studio-grade pitch shifting, delays, reverbs and modulation with deep MIDI control. Used by Robert Fripp and other sophisticated rig builders, it provides lush, complex, programmable textures for ambient, progressive and experimental guitar. Its high-resolution algorithms and routing flexibility make it a centerpiece of advanced effects rigs.
The Eventide H9 Max is a single-pedal host for Eventide's algorithm library, running one effect at a time but drawing on the full catalogue — the H910/H949 harmonizers, Blackhole and SpaceTime reverbs, Crystals, PitchFuzz and the ModFactor and TimeFactor modulations. Deep editing happens over Bluetooth in the H9 Control app rather than on the pedal, which carries a single encoder; the Max edition ships with every algorithm unlocked.
