Eventide Harmonizer Model H949

Legendary effect in superb working order after a full overhaul and prolonged soak-testing.

FUNCTIONING: Overhauled and in full working order. The work was done by a specialist in these units and included a long soak test period, plus additional final checks by our in-house tech who also knows these very well.

These machines require a serious amount of work to bring them back up to this state, not to mention the many, many hours of tech time that we’ve invested in to understand the way they were built and are meant to function. Even when we find “working” units, they may be making some great noises but are unlikely to be running as they should be; some have been worked on in the past and unpicking what “damage” has been done is also very laborious. This unit is covered by our normal 3 month warranty, and after that we will continue to provide paid-for service support.

CONDITION: Very good overall – it has some wear to the edges of the face which has been repainted black. Some buttons are new replacements, it presents very well when racked. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.

For sales in UK/EU the price will include VAT. VAT-free sales are possible to businesses and individuals in the EU (outside the UK) with a valid VAT Number – please get in touch if you wish to buy this way.

Switchable voltage – will be set up for your supply before shipping.

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.
