I see a lot of people really interested in pairing the H90 with Tonex pedal and/or UAD Dream, Ruby, Woodrow (or others). I’ve done just that with Tonex and it’s the most flexible rig I’ve ever used. With the H90 having a loop and the amps sims likely to be placed there, is the hardware capable of acting as a USB interface? It would be amazing to avoid the extra A/D conversion, latency, and cables of going into an interface vs coming off the H90 directly via USB.

Nice Board! The answer to the your questions is no. The USB cannot be used in this manner.
I also have a ToneX on my board. I set the H90 to Dual Routing Mode and connect Path 1 to the front of the ToneX in mono. Then, I take the outputs of the Tonex in stereo and connect it to Path 2 of the H90. Fantastic results. Never been concerned with latency.

Interesting. Care to elaborate on your choice of dual routing? I thought I had mine setup the most efficient way but maybe I’m mistaken. What advantages does that give over insert? My routing is below
Guitar -> Drive 1 -> Drive 2 -> Input of H90
H90 Loop -> Tonex Pedal
H90 Stereo Output -> Boss RC-10R -> Walrus Canvas Stereo
Morningstar MC6 Pro controlling H90, Tonex, RC-10RWith the above setup I can either use it as an ampless rig with Tonex amps and take XLR’s from the Canvas to FOH, Monitors, or an Interface. I can also take from the TS, sum to mono, and go into a power amp with the Cab Sim Turned off in the Tonex. Conversely, I can make presets in the H90 without the Tonex Insert and run it into the front of a tube amp (also summed to mono), do a wet/dry rig taking from each of the TS, etc. Originally I had to 2 drive pedals in the loop with the Tonex but moved them to the H90 input. One, so if I go into the front of a tube amp without Tonex I dont have the additional latency of running through the Tonex with it bypassed and two, I can put H90 effects between the pedals and the Tonex amps i.e. maybe a Flanger or something I want before the Tonex Amp in some instances.

I chose Dual Routing Mode for the simplicity of setting up a PRE/POST rig. I commend you on figuring out PRE/POST with Insert Routing mode. It’s actually my preferred signal flow with a mono amp; however, troubleshooting becomes bit more difficult considering any one cable goes bad and the entire signal chain is broken, highly unlikely in a properly wired board.

Haha okay. I thought I was missing out on some Eventide staff secret. Thanks for the info. Loving the H90 by the way. Probably the best piece of gear I’ve bought in a decade.

I‘d like to add that audio over usb would be amazing!
