EVENTIDE’S BLACKHOLE REVERB algorithm is one of the most popular and widely used effects featured in the company’s Space and H9 Max pedals. Far more complex and sophisticated than average spring, room or hall environment reverbs, Blackhole can generate deep, luscious textures with silky smooth tails that trail off into infinity as well as distinctive hypnotic rhythms with stunning depth and tangible dimension, delivering incredibly musical and expressive effects that can elevate even an ordinary idea into something extraordinary.
The main drawback for musicians who wanted to explore the creative potential of the Blackhole reverb algorithm in pedal format was the price, with the most inexpensive option being the purchase of an H9 Core for $399 and the Blackhole algorithm for an additional $19.99. By packaging the Blackhole reverb effect as a standalone product, Eventide has reduced the access price significantly while also making it easier for users to control, program and modify sounds. Much more than a reverb effect, Blackhole is an instrument unto itself that is well worth its (now much more affordable) price.

Kittie - Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara Mcleod discuss the canadian metal powerhouse's unexpected rebirth — by fire!
Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara McLeod explain that making new music was “not on their bingo card” when the band regrouped in 2022 for a few festival appearances, preferring to think of the sets as more of a “final lap” than a new beginning. But drilling into old favorites — whether the nu-flavored teenage slams of 1999’s Spit or the more venomously groove-thrashed tunes of their late-’00s period — revealed that despite not having raged together in years, there was something undeniably special about Kittie’s musical connection. “Playing with these girls is like putting on an old pair of pants,” Lander says. “It’s very comfortable — and it looks good too.”
McKinley James - Why all you really need is a guitar, a drummer and some serious low-end six-string skills
Nashville-based blues rocker McKinley James came flying out of the gate in 2022 with his Dan Auerbachproduced EP, Still Standing By. His momentum screeched to a halt, however, when his keyboardist split, leaving only him and his drummer, Jason Smay (who also happens to be his father). “For a moment, I was like, ‘What are we going to do?” James says. “But then I thought, ‘Well, other bands have succeeded as a duo. Maybe we can, too.”
