Eventide Harmonizer Model H949

NOTE: This unit has been overhauled and is now in the final stages of soak-testing. It will ship within 10 working days of purchase (or sooner!).

This unit is covered by our normal 3 month warranty; access to our tech/service support available to the original purchaser thereafter.

Completely overhauled by an early Eventide specialist and subjected to rigorous and extended testing in our studio before shipping. We know (and love!) these boxes and have great experience in delivering them in superb operational order; buy with confidence.

These machines require a serious amount of work to bring them back up to full operational order, not to mention the many, many hours of tech time that we’ve invested in understanding their design and construction. We have found that nearly all units sold as “working” are not operating correctly; they may make interesting noises, but are a long way from fully-functional; unpicking “damage” done by previous technicians is laborious and usually necessary to restore them to original spec.

Over the last few years these have become some of our new favourite things. We’re really loving what these high quality, late 70s units do to even the simplest of sounds. Early digital gear is in a class all of its own and we are hooked.

See below for a quick Instagram demo when the synth tech put one through its paces while it was being serviced. It takes a simple beat from an old analogue drum machine and fires it into the space age. 40 years old and it still sounds like it has come from the future.

If you want a good, concise run-down of what it does then this Eventide Harmonizer H949 page on Vintage Digital is a place to start. You can also find links to the manuals there.
