TimeFactor Presets
Description
The H9 has various compressors and my favorites are in EQCompressor (duh!), Ducked Delay, and DynaVerb. Yes, if you shut of the delay and reverb in the latter two algorithms you have feature-rich compressors just waiting to squish something. This, of course, was totally intended by Eventide. I'm posting a compressor preset for each of these algorithms to raise awareness and to give one generic example of how one accesses these compressors. Please read the "info" tab in the top right corner of the control app for more detail information on operation. 9/7/2022

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... . Each preset provides a boost, and reverb and/or delay. They may also provide overdrive and/or distortion, or chorus. I'd pick 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 for any changes. Restated, every one of these presets provides at least reverb and/or delay and a boost to comp and solo with out changing presets. 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

Pedals like the EP Booster strip the delay from an Echoplex and keep the idiosyncrasies of that preamp. This H9 preset basically does the same with the Tape Echo algorithm. There are two sounds in there, one at each end of the ribbon controller. 8/30/2022
Description
This preset sets up a playback sampler, with each of the 20 samples being a 1/4 note long. Of course, that can change to any number of samples at any length (in 1-beat increments, and within the limitations of the Looper algorithm).
First, configure the preset below, then hit Record to sample in your 20-beat phrase.
Expression Pedal Heel: PLY-START = 1.0 BEATS
Expression Pedal Toe: PLY-START = 20.0 BEATS
After recording, hit Stop (optional with the AUTOPLAY set).
Change the PLY-LENGTH knob setting from 20.0 BEATS to 1.0 BEAT.
That can be done manually, in H9 Control, with an Aux switch, or over MIDI.
Resume Playback (if Stopped), or continue to AP:LOOP.
Use the Expression Pedal to select any 1/4 note sample from 1-20 for looping.
Change PLAYMODE to ONCE for one-shot phrase triggers.
The image below shows sample #4 looping, due to the current PLY-START position.

Pedals like the EP Booster strip the delay from an Echoplex and keep the idiosyncrasies of that preamp. The Strymon Deco does this and also offers some more grit, flanging, and/or doubling. This H9 preset (and the related 1GRIT ENGINE) basically does the same with the Tape Echo algorithm. There are two sounds in there, one at each end of the ribbon controller. 8/30/2022

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.

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
Description
Short DELAYs and loads of FEEDBACK form metallic resonances that only kick in after note decay. Some fretboard techniques (vibrato, etc.) can also coax the tubular sounds out of the gate. These long flutter echoes will eventually decay; thanks to the value of the inline FILTER inside the FEEDBACK loop(s). Bump up the DELAY times for ping-ponging effects.
The expression pedal mapping is there to 'fade out' the extreme feedback, with increasingly darker echoes, through nearly inaudible delays. As always, the REPEAT performance switch freezes the delay buffers, while blocking further input. Here, it produces infinite tubing and droning 'pitches'.

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
