Eventide Blackhole Reverb Pedal: MIDI Control in apeMatrix - Daveypoo, The Mobile Music Minstrel

We've got the new Blackhole Reverb PEDAL in the house!!!

Today I set up full MIDI control of the pedal using apeMatrix's built in AUv3 apps!

  • I missed this one... is it good?

  • The video or the pedal?

    The video - meh.

    The pedal - yeah!

    Hardware? Oh no... I like "OT" in the title. There are costs to hardware that I'm eager to avoid:

    Product cost
    Storage/Studio Management expense
    RTFM effort (I'll get I could just spin the dials on this baby and get something cool).

    Oh no... And I didn't even watch and hear it yet.

    Maybe there's some value in the MIDI inter-op lesson here? Anyone want to weigh in?

    (Strymon BlueSky comparisons?)

  • Damn... it's looks like i'll have to watch this video to get a decent review.
    I'm disappointed in the support here, folks. If I end buying a hardware pedal I'll
    hold you all accountable.

  • If it's a question of pedal vs app, that's a no brainer: unless you're gigging, use the app.

    But definitely watch the video.

  • You really think I should?

    I'll sleep on it... or wait for a 2nd opinion.

  • Been sat on the fence for a couple of months over the pedal... your vid may have convinced me.

    You won't regret it...

  • Man... you have so much cool hardware. 2 of those little Keith McMillan keyboards that I covet. TWO.

    And then YouTube followed the one up with your Guitar Tone video where you explain that
    your band mates all have expensive vintage gear.

    As an addict I may have to avoid hanging with you. (I do have to get one of those keyboards at some point). I can pass on the Eventide hardware but you make a great case for a well made piece if hardware. Hardware wise... I'm jones-ing for one of these M1 MacBooks. I've run the configurator and keep adding extras and it's well into the $2K range when I get all my dream features. But it could totally change my world... I just need to spill a drink in my
    MacBook, right? I need something to replace it.

    Yeah, HUGE caveat to this video: Anyone that is running a guitar through an iPad might not want to buy a $280 pedal with Eventide's premium markup instead of the $20 Blackhole Reverb app. (I use this app all the time and it is a best of class must-buy to me, but man do they have high prices on the guitar gear. Always have.)

    I agree - hopefully that was fairly clear in the video!

    See - they have all the gear because I have neither the funds nor the space for such gear. As for the things I DO own, it really boils down to a handful of deliberately chosen items I've picked up in the last few years alongside a few pieces I was smart enough to purchase back in the day and then hang on to.

    The only reason I have 2 K-Boards is because I got a coupon for $$ off the 2nd one 😉. Trust me - it's all far less impressive in person than it seems in the video. I'm sure you've got a few things I'd covet given the chance...

    Touche. I down-sized considerably and IOS has helped me maintain some GAS habits without a lot of physical space consumption or additional clutter.

  • the pedal is fantastic! best pedal I have bought in years. play it through my tube amp and its like meditation...

  • Great vid Daveypoo, you make it very clear, and its an impressive pedal. Thanks. Just to clarify, how does the K-board hook up to the pedal, is it the usb midi cable from the pedal to the K-board? Is the k-board separately powered or is it through the usb?
    Like you I have a few pedals that I’d like to integrate with iOS, in particular the Sonuus wahoo filter, which has USB midi. The AUV3 matrix maybe the answer.

    The K-Board, the Blackhole pedal and my Behringer UMC404HD interface are all connected to an Anker 7-port USB hub. Blackhole pedal and UMC404HD have their own power supplies, the K-Board is powered by the hub. The iPad/apeMatrix handle MIDI routing.

    Does that answer your question?
