Official Eventide Stompbox (H9/Factor Series) Club!!!

I'm not typically one to like these kinds of pedals. But this H9 is awesome. I love digging into this pedal. And the app is so stinking useful! Being able to make on the fly changes is so awesome. I'm glad I got the Max. Having access to whatever they come up with in the future is awesome. Looking forward to the pitch fuzz.

I'm excited to see and hear more of what pitchfuzz has to offer. From that demo, it doesn't seem to offer anything that a fuzz+Diatonic or fuzz+Pitchflex can't already do. Still cool to have a new algorithm and tone palate available though. Maybe the pitch tracking will be updated to accommodate chords?

I've been with Max for about a month now and not ashamed to admit I'm head over heels in love. Put together a sweet wet/dry/wet rig that sounds gloriously 3D (with both bass and guitar), and I've hardly left the studio since. Then one day last week Max suddenly died. I threw up in my mouth a little. Eventide Tech Support was very responsive but ultimately determined it was a rare hardware issue, so now Max is in their shop for out-of-warranty repairs (bought used on Reverb). They say it'll only be a couple weeks but I may have to pick up another H9 to tide me over. I was thinking about buying a second one anyway...
 
So, what is the simplest way of controlling the H9 on a pedalboard/gig?
Do i really need a midi controller or will i be fine with a simple 2-3 button pedal?

IF I get one, I plan on running just a few(5-6) presets on it to switch between.
Use it as a tuner and to replace about 4 other pedals on my small board...
I don't have much trouble using the onboard footswitches to scroll through on gigs

But, simple aux switches are fine. This is a popular option: OX9

Eventide did a great job designing these pedals. Most users are able to "get their feet wet" with the simple 3 button accessory footwitch. But some people need to go full midi, which is also available.

I've had two Eventide units, a Pitchfactor and an H9, go bad on me. Both times Eventide fixed it for only one-way shipping even though they were technically out of warranty. So I think the customer service is pretty good but I worry about how rare these events actually are.

I'm one of the ones who went full MIDI, but for a while I just used a three-button switch. There is a lot you can do with that setup. Especially for what Mr. V is asking about here.
