What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Awesome Pedal (and the colors not bad either!)

It's like the kitchen sink - it's got almost everything. The only thing missing is a Vocoder and it would be absolutely perfect. I actually removed a couple of pedals from my studio setup. I'm loving it... Thanks Eventide!!!
Rated 5/5

Which is better?

The Eventide H9:
An affordable top shelf stompbox with essentially unlimited capabilities. Get two, you'll want that exponential and unlimited flexibility.

My Sales Engineer Corey Elliott:
Easily the most valuable person I've met regarding gear knowledge and acquisition in my 40yr career as a player. A true consultant. He listened, offered suggestions, steered me "to and from", the resulting rig is exactly what I was looking for and wanted to hear from my effects setup.

So...which is better? I say both.
The H9s open up my chops and inspire me to be better.
Corey opens up my understanding of how to attain the sound I want...and helps me navigate to that goal.
Heck, he even went the extra and helped with planning the pedal board layout, signal chain and power/cable needs.
Music background: Too much to mention
Rated 4.5/5

Superior Multi Effects Pedal

I bought 1 H9 Max Dark pedal and love it so much that I had to buy a second H9 Max to pair them together for my 2 Behringer Neutrons in stereo. With my iPad Pro I can easily choose any 2 effects simultaneously and in any configuration I want to create wildly lush soundscapes.
I was fortunate enough to get these Limited Edition Dark pedals while they were on sale and couldn't be happier with how perfect they look in my studio. A big thank you to my sales rep Daniel Nesmith for helping me to get everything sorted out so smoothly.
Rated 5/5

The best delay for a guitar.

As with everything I have gotten from eventide this has the sweetest delay for any guitar pedal including the very expensive ones.
Music background: Professional owner.

Eventide H9 Max Dark is an Extra Special Effects Pedal

Much has already been written about how great the Eventide H9 Max pedal is, so there isn't much that I can add that hasn't already been mentioned. I purchased the Eventide H9 Max Dark pedal and it's extra nice because of the black body! First off, the dark housing gives superior contrast to the red displays and is easier to read, day or night, than the white housing. Secondly, the black housing will not show the wear and tear of use like the white housing will. Lastly, the H9 Max Dark might only be available in limited numbers so if you're interested in getting the dark housing you'll want to pick one up while they are still available. I love the quality of the effects and versatility of the Eventide H9 Max pedal and the dark housing makes a great pedal extra special.
Music background: 50+ year hobbyist

There are studio engineers at Sweetwater who personally remember when Eventide changed the game with their affordable digital processing. Many of us still own Eventide DSP boxes that go back decades, and we use them all the time, because they're still awesome. That's one of the reasons we're always happy to talk to customers who come to Sweetwater looking for killer hardware effects. And it's not just engineers - you'll find Eventide delays, harmonizers, and more on our pedalboards, adding shimmer and shine to our guitars. It's little wonder Sweetwater is one of the biggest Eventide dealers out there, and our relationship with Eventide continues to grow, especially as they expand into new fields like plug-ins, 500 Series gear, and Eurorack synth systems.
