Eventide Harmonizer Model H949.

One 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.

NOTE: PHOTOS ARE OF ANOTHER UNIT WE JUST SOLD. We have another coming back from service in the next few days. The condition is similar. To reserve it please buy from this listing – photos will be sent before we ship and we can cancel the order if necessary.

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. And yes, Tony did immediately buy another so we could keep one in the studio.

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.

This unit has been fully serviced and set up – this takes some time as even when they are not working as they should they can produce some wild effects.

Condition is good with some signs of age and rack rash. Click on the photos to zoom in and see more shots.

And here is the demo of one we had recently shredding the beat from a 70s Teisco R-3A Rhythmer drum machine:
