A pedal with very nice quality effects algorithms,

Is there a VST equivalent of this when talking TONE QUALITY?

There are delays and choruses etc in every DAW alright, but -- again -- is there in the VST world an effect plugin that with its algorhitms in tone quality can compete with an Eventide top music industry effects unit?

I´ll be using it mainly with synthesizers.

Thanks

Soundtoys also offers similar effects. The quality aside from dsp - processing will mostly depend on you dac.

if you want an H90, then buy an H90.

It’s funny, there was a similar thread about the H3000 on Gearspace, and while there was a very loud and confident group that claimed tonal superiority to all software, not a single one was willing to post a simple example with parameter values, so a simple comparison could be made. Someone even had the idea that the quality of the H3000 wasn’t something that could be captured by a recording.

Jamcat already mentioned the H9 suite of plugins, so there you go. I have them, and they’re great, but so are a lot of plugins. Arturia has their FX Collection and I think it’s the best bang for the buck for analog effect emulation. My recommendation is to forget about the H90 and just try a bunch of different things and see what you like.

OK, guys, thanks for the tips.

Just buy the H9 plugins, they are the same ones used in the pedal, pedal just has more of them.

Eventide do quite good set of native plugins. Unfortunately they use iLok, so they're no-go for me. I can live without their pitch shifters, but sad because I'd buy them unreservedly without iLok. Same with Black Hole too...fortunately Valhalla Supermassive does much the same job.

Yeah, I'd also argue that those are the closest, being the same algorithms and stuff.

All the Eventide stuff is really high quality.

The only downside would be, of course, if you don't find the algorithm you're looking for in the plugins. But, more and more get added to the suite.

Given the age of the hardware, it very likely does sound different, and not in a good way.

besides that all you go to is something like Plugin Alliance Byome and Triad. But I also highly recommend the Drop from Cytomic as that is highly useful as well. It does some great things with fuzz in front of it.

Yeah I was hoping for more and ideally some sort of combination interface like Soundtoys rack but less clunky
