It's not an H3000.
To be fair, it's still sorta kinda great. I use it all the time. It doesn't have that je ne sais quoi, but it is still wonderful.

"If it's possible to single out one piece of gear as being crucial to Jenkinson's way of working, it's the Eventide Orville multi?effects unit," Tom says, in this article.
Used for the guitar loop on "Makes Me Wonder", as stated by mix engineer Mark Endert in this September 2007 Sound on Sound interview.
"I realised that there was one guitar part that worked particularly well with the bass and drums. It was played by Adam and had a clean Telecaster sound, and so I looped that through the track." (...) “Upon determining that Adam’s clean Tele part worked the best with the drums and bass, it was looped so that it did the same thing throughout the whole track. It sounded great being mixed loudly. When I have a loop like that without change, they way I can achieve contour is by changing the amounts of effects. So at the beginning of the song there are minimal effects on the guitar loop, then when it hits the first verse there are more delays, when it hits the chorus there is chorusing and delay and reverb on it — these are all outboard effects: PCM42s, AMS 1580S, and Eventide Orville. All the delays from the Lexicon PCM42 were timed, everything from eighth to dotted eighth to 16th notes. I love delays far more than reverb and I have eight discrete delays — five PCM42s and three Roland SDE3000s — and they are in use on every mix. In the verses it’s more like a 16th slap feel, and when it gets to the choruses, I harmonised with an AMS 1580S, pitch–changing and fattening the guitars. You can get a lot of contour out of a track that lacks dynamics just by changing the acoustic space around it."
According to this gear diagram, Billy Howerdel used an Eventide Orville in 2004.
In his My Studio feature for Attack Magazine, Mathew Jonson writes: "I have lots of processing... Also effects: Eventide Orville, DP4, A10, D5000."
In this YouTube video, it is possible to spot the Eventide Orville at 3:09. Plus, the marking "Orville" can be seen.
“I've owned Eventide equipment for over 20 years. From the H910 to the H949, the H3000 to the Orville and now the H8000FW. Eventides sound fantastic and I've found I can do so much with their new machines that they are now the only outboard digital effects units I use.”
