Well it was an exciting idea until I saw the price!! It's more than double of what I'd be willing to pay. I guess after time it will end up there as a discount deal of the day. 
I've been looking at different solutions for playing live for both vocal and guitar effects. 
 
I bought this   http://www.lexiconpro.com/en/products/mx200
and will now see how to go about using midi or direct within a DAW to control. It shows as a VST plug in in Sonar but there's no latency as your signal is more or less outside. 
I'm mostly interested in Delay being appropriate for each song. 
Reverb on mixer is fine, and I have my stomp boxes. 

Wow! That H9 Max sounded fantastic! But I can't see me spending $800 for a stomp box.

Now if I get that hit record and become unbelievably rich.....then it's on!!

I have the H9 and it's pretty damn fantastic.  The free iOS bluetooth editor/librarian/eshop application works straight out of the box.  Considering that it can run any Eventide algorithm, it works out a lot cheaper than buying multiple other E'tide stomp boxes.  It also survived a pretty horrendous m'bike accident (far better than I did), so it's solidly built.  Unfortunately I loaned it to a friend who visited me in hospital and he still has it.  And he's moved house.  Hmm... ;-)

I'd be looking for him!! Like right now!!
