So ..........compared the Stomp, Future Impact and Eventide H9 synth sounds.
Yes the FI has a fantastic engine but usability on the fly is pants without Midi, and the box looks cheap for the price you pay.
Yes the Eventide is a beautiful piece of kit, well constructed with great sounds, not quite the tweakability of the FI and it’s parameters, you have an engine and sound, then you deal with it, great tracking.
Stomp - some of the presets are really quite good and perfectly useable for the majority of people that own this box and what they are using it for who want a bit of squelch in a sound, and no doubt it will get better.
