The eclipse sounds dark and metallic where the H8000 sound alive to me. I've owned eventide gear for the last 12 years and i know what sounds good owning
system 6000, Bricasti, PCM96,H8000 If you like the unit and it works for you
your good but i could never love that piece. I like my g-force or MPX-1 much better.
Now as for the presets sounding better on a H7600 or H8000 YES and not because of the DSP well maybe, but its the converters and a bad analog design in a cheaper model that make the Eclipse sound metallic and dark. you get what you pay for sometimes. |
Good to know... allthough that doesnt help me. So what about the eventide guy then?. I own the eclipse and i think it sounds great, ive heard samples of the same untweaked presets in the H8000 and i honestly couldnt tell the difference but im open to exploring it further as i love eventide gear.
I take your point about the converters and the analog stage though. Thats a very credible point in favour of the H8000. I was just about to agree with you up until the point where you said the MPX-1 sounded better. Sorry man, that MPX-1 is a decent box but blows in comparison to the eclipse.
Following that logic I should hope the H8000 sounds better if you think the MPX-1 is better than the eclipse...which to me is just not true and now that argument makes no sense.
Thanks for the response anyway
