Sure there are plenty of cheaper multi effect units with more routing & flexibility but that comes at the cost of sound quality and they don't even come close to the sound of even 1 x H9 in the mix.

Unless you're willing to go high end- Fractal Audio Axefx 2, FX8 , they sound awesome but you will pay at least 3 or 4 x the cost of a H9 not including all the extra gear you need to control it……

Would be cheaper to get 2 x H9's and a midi controller with routing like Decibel 11?

Pretty sure none of the cheap mfx units can be controlled wirelessly with a mobile device and a nice app like H9 control……………

Eventide has some of the best sounding pedals on the market for the price.
