Eventide Eclipse - Sounds So Good! 

Timestamps with the best guitar faces - go!

Wow! I have to watch this 100x

It’s such a good unit, the effects make things come alive in a way no plug in can, it’s just amazing, :)

This is seriously one of the best effects videos I've ever seen. It's way beyond just a preset demo, it shows how to combine and layer effects along with tweaking to get the right textures out of each sound. The beautiful part is that you can apply these concepts to other effects you have - you start with building blocks and create something new. Bravo.

I always come here for the gear, but I keep coming back for the playing. Always keeps the note choices interesting, which is what guitarring is all about.

Dear Leon, we may have to part ways. This may be the last straw. It's not me , it is you. First you are accomplice to my decision to buy a H9. My old G-Major is dusted off right now after it went into retirement after the H9 replaced it. I blame you evoking nostalgia for it with your G-Force video. And yes, I play a JMP-1 too. You couldn't have known, but should take this into consideration before infllicting any further GAS or nostalgia or even a combination of the two. To add insult to injury, the RU-vid algorithm shoved this video in my face which is very close to trigger a serious GAS relapse. Please be cautious with such great videos.

I bought a used eclipse a few weeks ago. Really really enjoying it, thank you for the motivation and programming demo.

wow,...thnx for showing the eclipse,...had no idea it was around, let alone how good it is,...i m gonna look for one great demo

I had one of those many years ago. Sold it. Errrrrrrrrrrr! Now it back on the list. I guess you don’t drink or sleep. Excellent video!

Just bought a used one. Looking forward to installing

02:23 mic drop! Best ending ever

very pleasing videos all the time. Happy to watch you playing. Thanks for what you've been doing.

More of this series (and the Lexicon PCM) please

@LeonTodd WOW!!! RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE. Hearing that delay at the start of the video I wanted this thing.

Another great video Leon! How many times do we hear Leon say something like this? "That's so over the top and ridiculous - I love it." I like your use of FX!

I'd love to get one of those. They sound incredible. This weekend I'm going to bust out the h3000 and jam on that.

That first vintage delay tone is kickass Leon!

Eclipse, sarai ancora mio !!!

The entire parallel section starting around 6:30 is wild.

My H9 was my first Eventide product. I was beyond late to the game. The eclipse sounds amazing. Makes me want to build a rack...

Just watched Nielsen's vid comparing the 3 eventides and wound up here. Thinking about getting another Axe iii for silent home play and recording. Browsing those comments for your thoughts on the Axe iii vs this. 😁 Sounds great bro!

Thanks so much! These are really helpful!

Now, that is one awesome piece of gear. If I still had one, it would be hard to compel myself to leave the house. I really liked that piece you were playing at the end.

I miss this piece of gear. ❤

The fx blend so well with source signal.

The Manifold Beta eventide sounds and guitar faces are the best. ;)

5:30 I think we all did that in our chairs... I think you are going to have to do a deeper dive in to those magic parameters at this time stamp.

Thanks for this tutorial

That’s awesome Leon

I’ve seen this unit a lot but I’ve actually heard it the first time here….wow 😮

Man I hear evh In all that stuff He loved his eventides

Would you please zip your tone presets into a .zip, so that we may download and experience those goodies?..please!

Evintode is soooo cool. Like AxeFx. They do it right. Very cool video sir. Thanks again for sharing these wonderful tones and your great mind with this stuff. Hope you're well sir.

Anytime I watch one of these gear reviews (that I really like), I always go and look for availability and price. I have the Eventide Space pedal, which is a fantastic piece, as much as I like the Eclipse… it’s price is a bit over the top. Great video. 👍🏻

awesome stuff mate - thanks

$2k used right now...just pulled the trigger on a pcm 81, so now gotta wait on this one! BAHHH!

"that's so over the top and ridiculous. I love it"

More vids on programming plz!

Good morning LT! Very nice and Enjoyable unit! Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!

Sounds EPIC

Wow I want one, I know my H3000 D/SX has it in it I'm sure if I ever get to tinkered around with it.. Thanks Leon enjoying your vids!

U2 dotted delay & Brian May 3 part Harmony for next video pls ? 😁👍

great stuff! We need some comparison with Eventide H90!!! manifold_beta reminds me the solo effects on Starla from Smashing Pumpkins.

Could you please do a Blackhole and H9 vs Eclipse?

Beautiful sounding unit and great playing. Question for you Leon, can this unit do seamless preset changes and spillover of the delay/reverb? I've heard conflicting things about that.

Great demo Leon. Just one thing you may not know, there are somne algos that take the two blocks, so you don´t always get to load two at the same time. Some reverbs for sure , cant remember the others

8:30 has notes of the heartbreak high theme

The eventide racks still fucking rock!

Just saw one of these pop up locally used. Costs the same as a new amp head. A bit much for a guitar effects unit for me! For someone working with this in a studio probably very reasonable. Would be fun to have a little shootout between all these units like quadraverb, spx90, SDE-3000, pcm and eclipse etc in some basic settings/presets like their reverbs and delays to get some grasp how different signature sound they all got. Not doing special presets they're uniquely known for like symphonic though. I assume you don't have all of them in your possession at the same time though and didn't record any template like clips, but it would be fun. Personal favourites so far have been spx90 and pcm, but it might be just imagination with so much time between. Eclipse sounds kinda like something Steve Vai would use. So much of that shimmery highs. Effect sounds, while pcm just felt like really enjoyable size to the sound. The UI in this is very usable, but it's weird and confusing to load building blocks from presets with weird names when you're creating your own. Most of them seem reasonable though, but presets like blackhole. Seems like Eclipse by default has the effects overpowering the original signal, kind of its thing.

Which algo number is the "vintage delay" ? It has plenty...

Hello Leon, I hope you are well. What would be your choice between an eventide eclipse or an eventide h90 to complement a rack and pedalboard that work together with pedals like the tonex, gt 1000, some analog distortions, a boss sy-200 and a psa 1.1 in the chain.

If you use this for a guitar rig, whats the point of the input in the back?

Leon Todd said he couldn't play something... and then plays the sh#t out of it lol. Love his vids.

Two words - Great "rack"! 👍

Leon, have you ever compared it with the h9?

This is my next rack unit!!! :-)

Awesome

Imagine the sounds you could get by using this with the Axe Fx 3.

Bollocks!! I want one of these too !!! Somebody give me some money !!

I love that eventide, totally killer! I want one!!!

@leon, whats the tune at 6.10mins? sounds awesome

Dang Bro I wish I knew how to do all that. So impressive and cool!

Leon Todd - How about pairing the Eclipse with Synergy SYN-2 and some preamps? Wouldn´t that be a nice fly rig with a small midi controller?

Wow. So lush. I ended up selling my Axe FX3 a couple weeks ago. This thing sounds a lot better to my ear. How do the modulation effects compare in your opinion?

Just waiting for you to build the MEGA rack with the Synergy preamps and all these multi-effects units.

Would be interesting if you could do the guitar fx for Simple Minds "dont you forget about me"!

7:14. Wow! Recreate on FM3 please?

I wanted one years ago for my rack but I think it only had XLR ins and outs if I'm not mistaking, and I think it only does 2 effects at a time. But that thing sounds great.

I’m thus out pulling the trigger I have the h9 do you think the eclipse has better sound quality ?

Whats your effects chain? Explain the best way to route one of these. Thanks.

Nice! Whats the riff in 06:25?

Hello! Does it have those distortions tones? Thanks!

Great video! How would you compare the effects on the Eclipse vs Axe FX III? Which would you choose for effects only?

scrummy manifolds. loved me some alpha when i had this box. rig that sucker up to the axe fx. have the axe handle the bread and butter stuff and slap this on as super sauce at the end of the chain. yumski korsakov!

I don´t like it , I don´t like it, I don´t like it...poor me...I like it a lot!!!

Hey man ! Grest sound! Questione:Can Eventide switch head Channel through stereo 1/4 Jack? As tc Electric Gmajor 2 does? Thank in Advance

Is it possible to have two delays with different delay times to emulate something like a binson echorec?

Hello mate, big fan of your videos and a big thanks for sharing your knowledge. Quick question on the eclipse V4, do you have it hooked up to the AXE FX3? If so, just wondering how are you matching the gain stages (AXE FX out -- Eclipse V4 in -- Eclipse V4 out -- AXE FX3 in) to get the best out of both? I´m thinking the more unity you send to the eclipse the better it will process the signal, but for the output probably sending the hottest signal to the axe fx may not be the best. I have them connected with IN/OUT4 as the "Effect Loop" to the eclipse and the signal from the eclipse add it into a mixer to level out to tasting as specified in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mIyPk4Cg1ks.html, apologies for the information in spanish. This is one of the holy grail in tone for some of us Soda Stereo fans. Just wondering if you have given that a try... All the best on 2022

Hi Leon, I assume you are using the Eclipse with the Axe FX? How do you have this all routed? Are you micing FRFR speakers? Using real cabs? so curious, thanks for your time

Leon, how difficult is it to get these out of the axe fox?

Multishift 2 ain't Micropitch...nope!

There are plenty of great units out there, but Eventide's units are in a league of their own. The rackmount units are about as user unfriendly as Adobe software, but dayum, the payoff is like nothing else.

sounds like cerati

Unbelievable prices for old equipment through your review, especially eclipse... almost all sold on reverb platform immediately...

Serious question: if I have an Axe-FX III is there any reason I should desire an Eclipse as well?

does it change presets..fast ?

What song are you playing at 6:14? you play it a lot and I know I know it but I can't place it. Thought Satriani but couldn't track it.

V 4 ?

Can we get a hair tutorial 😅

What amp are you using?

Great demo Leon. How do you connect it to your amp? Effects loop? Also, does the unit have a mono output, and if not, how do you connect it to run stereo out? Thanks for geek insight.
