Presets
Description
If I had to gig (rock, blues, pop, country, jazz, etc.) with one H9, an expression pedal and a hotswitch, I'd use a few presets from a set of ten presets I've made for this minimalist purpose. All are posted and begin with a number and the letters BST (for boost). So presets 1BST..., 2BST..., 3BST... to 10BST... provides at least reverb and/or delay and a boost to comp and solo without changing presets. They may also provide selectable overdrive and/or distortion, or chorus. I'd use one preset for the full length of a song and use an exp pedal and/or hotswitch to do things like add distortion and/or a boost for a solo. Since I'm not changing presets there is no glitch or dead air during any of these changes. Adjust to taste. I have also posted a BONUS 11th preset called 122RV HSBOOST for a Leslie that works the same way. 9/2/2022

Here is a fuzz with some octave and fifth action going on with both the expression pedal and the hotswitch. Play around. Have some fun. 9/7/2022

Everybody thinks it's fun to play a song like Jessica (Allman Brothers) with their H9 playing the Maj 3rd harmony along with them ... that is until the bridge changes modes. Then it's a train wreck. This preset and an expression allows the H9 to play through the bridge with you in A dorian and then back again. Naturally, this trick can also be used if a song merely modulates into different key or changes from ionian to mixolydian (and back), etc. But you can only make one change per song. But if you run midi, you can use that to change keys, harmonies, modes, etc. to your heart's content. 9/8/2022

This H9 preset was inspired by Jimi Hendrix's And The Gods Made Love from his Electric Ladyland album. You "play" it with an expression pedal, the hotknob, or your guitar but it is intended to be inherently unstable regardless of what you do. The only way to stop it or fade it out is to deactivate the preset with the left footswitch or turn the volume all the way down by holding the left footswitch and then turning the volume all the way down with the hotknob. 8/30/2022

I once traveled to far off lands to find the best Binson Echorec H9 presets in the world. I'm posting three of these presets with a total of seven beautifully cacophonous delays. Use an expression pedal and the hotswitch to get at them. Most, if not all of these seven, were originally created by Brock (it's tough to recall which ones) and I just tweaked them a bit (as should you). Thanks to Brock for his endless generosity. 9/7/2022

This is a typical mid-scooped tonestack setting for a BF Fender amp. I'm using this in one H9 and a spring reverb preset (SPRING HSTREM - also posted here) in another H9 as a silent practice rig. I plug a pair of headphones into the right and left outs of the second H9 and boost the output level in SPRING HSTREM to about 12 to 17dB (to taste). Light a cigar. Pour some scotch. And play into the wee smalls of the morning. 9/7/2022

Here is a fuzz preset on the heavier side of things. Activating the hotswitch will boost the output level enough for a lead. 9/7/2022

YouTuber ciclosonico (whose channel is loaded with creative H9 snippets) gave me a few excellent Boss Dimension C presets and now I'm giving them to you. I may have added a delay in there or some other feature but they are otherwise his impressive work. 9/8/2022

Remember back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and compressors only had two knobs? You didn't need a PhD to use them and the fun began right away. If you long for those glory days, then the simplicity of this compressor is for you. I have limited the compression range to resemble that of my old Dynacomp and the "trim" is the volume control. Whether or not the compression is on, the hotswitch provides enough boost for a solo. 9/8/2022

This is basically the same (I've added some variability) as a stunningly good H9 version of the Electroharmonics Electric Mistress created by Youtuber ciclosonico. He has a comparison demo on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/y6ISHD74AqI If you like this preset you should check out his other H9 videos on his channel. He's really creative and those videos are a really fun ride.

I scoured the earth to find the best H9 autowah preset so you won't have to. It was created by an Eventide forum member named mheydman. Many thanks to him on a job well done. It works best for me on a treble pickup but YMMV. 9/6/2022

The Hairy Eyeball is a 3-in-1 overdrive (a low gain boost designed to distort the next thing in you signal chain) with a TS808, a Klone, and a tweedish/mid-focused thing. An expression pedal and a hotswitch gets you all three. I'm driving this into a Kingsley Page (and then into a slapback delay), but you could hit any other drive or the front of an amp. The H9 "Trim" control adds a little crunch (I didn't know that until today) just like you'd use a Klon or an 808. Naturally, you can make other presets by reconfiguring the three parts and, as always, adjust to taste. 9/16/2022

The Hairy Eyeball has now evolved into a set of three low gain overdrives (designed to distort the next thing in you signal chain). The three voices are a TS808, a Klone, and a mid-focused H9 factory preset called “Balls”. An expression pedal allows you to adjust the mid hump in each until you find the best setting for you. You could then eliminate the range if you’d like. The “TRIM” knob is a gain knob with a limited range and a hotswitch uses that knob to provide a modest crunch-boost option. The TREBLE and BASS knobs basically operate as expected. The default TRIM setting adds a volume boost so I have nullified that by reducing the output level. These presets are driving my Kingsley Page, Page TS, and Page J out of this world! Naturally, you could hit any other drive pedal or the front of an amp. As always, adjust to taste. 9/19/2022
