A single Aux switch in the EXP plus Aux mode enables you to control tap tempo, while in Triple Aux mode you can bank up and down and load presets. The EXP jack can be configured to accept Expression, Expression plus Aux, Triple Aux, a MIDI Box, or a MIDI TRS Cable. It is switchable guitar or line‑level operation, so you can use it as a DAW insert or send effect if you have sufficient I/O, without needing a reamp box, and it could hold a lot of appeal for modular synth fans too. The pedal has a TRS input jack, which is switchable for mono or stereo sources, and two TS jacks for stereo or parallel‑mono outs. Power comes from the included 9V adaptor, or a standard pedalboard supply.

Those 127 presets are also accessible using the free the Eventide Device Manager software when a computer is connected using the micro USB port. Five presets can be called up directly from the pedal, though you can also control it via MIDI (by plugging a MIDI to TRS cable into the EXP port), which expands this to 127 presets. Five of the knobs have a secondary ‘shift’ function, so these few controls can access all the functionality of the original algorithm.

In its latest incarnation, the Blackhole algorithm’s host is a sensibly compact stompbox controlled by six knobs and three illuminated buttons. It’s an effect that takes reverb beyond the more familiar halls and plates to create something much larger - though it can be dialled right back to a small, resonant metal tank if you need it.

One of Eventide’s most popular algorithms, Blackhole, has been included in several of the company’s products now, including their H9 pedal, the H9000 rackmount effects unit and their Space Reverb pedal, as well as being available as a software plug‑in. Eventide have put their out‑there reverb effect into a compact pedal.
