I play ambient, experimental, and also conventional music, and the H9 fits the bill perfectly for me. I split my guitar signal after a compressor between an amp sim (atomic Amplifire) and an SY-300 synthesizer, and the H9 now goes after the amp sim and is the ideal stereo audio companion to the SY-300 sound in my live stereo setup mix. I hooked in my expression pedal and it is very useful by default. But what really makes it convenient is the phone/tablet app. Excellent software and very easy to use. I set my phone in a holder on a mic stand and choose presets or adjust the device remotely with a touch through the bluetooth connection. No need to touch the pedal at all! Adjusting everything is easy with the app. I was clearly guided through the software installation and hardware updating procedure by the install process as well. Value is a notch off only because it is rather expensive. The one possible drawback is the fact it's one effect at a time, despite the wide raging choice of effects. For me this is no problem. The Amplifire and SY-300 both have good effects and I have a Obscura delay in my chain if I need to layer effects. I needed something to set off my conventional guitar signal chain, and this is PERFECT for me. And kudos to zZounds for getting this to me much faster than I thought it would take over a major holiday. I'm impressed.
