1) No, the H9 has the same features as the Factor pedals…. Assuming you purchased all the algorithms … So an H9 with all the PitchFactor algorithms purchased is the same as a PitchFactor. Only exception is TimeFactor … The H9 is missing the Looper feature at the moment… It is in development.

3) if you need the 3 switch the Digitech one is popular, also this1smyne makes them too… There are also MIDI options if you want more complexityz
