7/10

The Eventide Anthology X bundle ($999 street) offers users a large collection of effects processing plug-ins. Although there's an emphasis on the harmonizer/delay type effects that Eventide is famous for, you also get EQs, channel strips, a reverb, phase alignment plug-ins, and more. Many of the processors are digital recreations of analog hardware units, and the sound quality is excellent throughout.

In the following video, we show you what’s in the bundle, show examples of what the processors can do, and give our opinion on the bundle as a whole. If you don’t have time to watch the video, you can scroll down to our star rating and Pros and Cons for a quick overview.

Our verdict: 7/10

The price is pretty hefty, but you seem to get a lot for your money.

I think I might have used the Ultraverb at some point. I can't remember, but that particular process looked familiar.

You definitely get a lot. As I mention in the review, though, there's too much redundancy in terms of the pitch shifter plug-ins. Still, very cool sounding effects, overall.
