H9 Flanger Preset Advice

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased an H9 with the intend to replace my TC Electronics Vortex Flanger on my pedal board. The Vortex is currently a one trick pony, which does a very specific effect, that I wanted to rebuild with the H9, while at the same time adding a device with midi capability and more under the hood than just this one effect. I spent the whole night trying to replicate the effect my Vortex does but could not quite make it. Being new to Eventide and especially the H9, I wanted to ask for advice on how to achieve it. Maybe there is even someone there who could build me a preset 🙂

The thing is, I am really dependent on that Vortex effect for a specific song and If the H9 cannot do it, I need to return it.

It’s about this setting of the Vortex, which results in very distinct pulsing rythmic pattern when playing a low E and a fairly slow detune on high notes.

Please refer to the audio clip “Flanger Vortex” for an example.

It is set to tape mode, which is described as a through zero flanger in the manual, so I used the flanger algorythm with THRU-0 type on the H9. I ended up with these settings, which are close but not quite there.

The rythmic pattern of the pulse is not similar enough and the sweep of the detune is to fast. Please refer to the audio clip “Flanger H9” for an example.
