A PT Pro is cool for worship, right?

Yeah, I certainly get that the H9 has some huge advantages (all of the algorithms available, smaller footprint, editing software, DAT INTERFACE). However, as the owner of two Factor series pedals who is watching this product, it seems there are still a few sacrifices that the H9 had to make to squeeze it all in, and not being able to use both expression and an auxiliary footswitch without going MIDI/iOS is a big one.

As a Pitchfactor/Modfactor owner, here is my list of my top algorithms:
Top 5 (but in no particular order):
Pitchflex (P)
Harmodulator (P)
Diatonic (P)
Chorus (M) OR Micropitch (P) (but you probably don't need both under any circumstances)
Tremolo (M)
Next 6 (but in no particular order)
Crystals (P)
Arpeggiator (P)
Quadravox (P)
H910/H949 (P)
Undulator (M)
Synthonizer (P)
Next 3 (again, no order)
Phaser (M)
Flanger (M)
Q-Wah (M)
Don't really use:
Modfilter (M)
Octaver (P)
Rotary (M)
Vibrato (M)
Ring Mod (M)
Even though the top of my list is Pitchfactor-heavy, the flanger/phaser/Q-wah have been useful for me, they're just not as amazing/fun as a lot of the Pitchfactor stuff.

In the H9's defense, they did include a way to bank up or down hands-free and by only having to hit one button each way.
So far I've purchased PitchFlex, Flanger, Octaver, and DynaVerb. Next up is ModEchoVerb, Phaser, and Diatonic. This platform for a pedal is amazing.
I'd like to use my H9 on a Pedaltrain Mini along with two, maybe three other pedals.
Is there a convenient way to do it? Most power supplies are too big for the Mini. Would a Cioks Adam work?

Diago Micropower 9 works for mine.
This pic was taken just before I wired it all up and added the power supply underneath.
Very nice. I'm assuming the Micropower is small enough to fit under the Pedaltrain Mini. Also, are you using the daisy chain to connect multiple pedals?
My one concern is on Diago's compatibility chart, they have this note near the Eventide Factor pedals: "must be powered using a single dedicated power supply to be noise-free". Do you find that's not the case with the H9? Is it quiet?

Yes indeed Sir, fits nicely underneath the Pedaltrain.
Good point, forgot to mention I have a Diago Isolator before the H9 for this purpose.
Should be fine as long as you don't have another high current digital pedal in the Daisy chain.

So you go from the power supply, through the isolator to the H9? I see that the max output is just 110mA for the isolator... http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/diago-isolator-adaptor-1795-p.asp

Yes, I did a gig with my 5 string down a step and the tuner tracked, can't say I enjoyed the feel and sound of that string though.
Just used the tuner on the H9 for the first time and still prefer to use my Polytune Mini. It's so much easier to use and tiny. Not sure which tracks better.

Yea I knew you'd comment Jean. 
I just don't see the purpose of the tuner unless you're tuner is crap. I mean the mini takes up a fraction of space and is just push and go. Maybe my feet are too small? I tried to get the tuner on the H9 on like 3 times before getting it to actually work. So I was "this is stupid". I like that it has a tuner though in case I do ever just use the H9 alone. It's quite a magnificent little machine.

Did anyone else do the lastest update??? Holy crap! I freaking love the compressor they are giving out!!! It's got like 15 or so different options on it and it sounds amazing! Can cover soooooooo much ground with it. The H9 is quickly becoming a one box pedalboard. If only you could combine multiple algo's at the same time, it'd be perfect.
