Eventide Blackhole

In its earliest incarnation - first in the DSP4000 and later in the H8000 flagship processors – this famous Eventide effect was regarded, by some, as a secret weapon.

Now it has been finally possible to imprison the unbelievable power of the Blackhole into a sturdy metal housing.

It includes onboard tone controls, modulation, and infinite reverb settings with mono or stereo operation, MIDI control, preset storing, and most importantly a new compact, easy-to-use interface.
