I actually ever so slightly prefer the default sound of the Nova Repeater to the Eventide. It has a lot of bells and whistles but maybe through my lack of skill I'm still searching for that special something. I consider myself a tweaker and enjoy seeing what sounds I can get out of a unit but (and remember, I've only spent limited time on it) I'm still searching for a basic delay sound that I'm 100% happy with. With its unique combinations of pitch shifting, modulation and delay, the H910 can be heard on countless ground. The program features all of the capabilities of the original machine, along with presets by producers including Hendrickson and Sasha. Eventide, which now operates out of Little Ferry, New Jersey, released the plug-in version of the H910 in 2003. Thickening snares, guitars and vocals are H910вЂ™s bread and butter, but robot sounds and gritty octaves are just as easily dialed in. Going through the presets gives you an idea of just what it's capable of. The H910 Harmonizer was the worldвЂ™s first digital effects processor. The HarmonizerвЂ™s continuing relevance is not just limited to this modular renaissance. The H910 Harmonizer was the worldвЂ™s first digital effects unit.With its unique combinations of pitch shifting, feedback, modulation and delay, it was a huge hit across studios worldwide. It's a tweaker's best friend, that's for sure. The H949 also offered unique flange, reverse and randomized pitch effects. Produced from 1977 1984, it introduced MicroPitch which used a proprietary single sideband modulation technique for precise control of small pitch shifts. I still haven't spent as much time with it as I would like but I can see there is a huge amount you can do with this pedal. Building on the legacy of the H910 pitch shifter, the H949 was EventideвЂ™s first de-glitched pitch-shifter. I'm going for a single or dual digital delay sound that fills the space behind a lead and gives it a bit more authority, think Petrucci slow solo style, like in Repentance (Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos, solo somewhere around 4:30 or something). Other delays I own include a cheap Belcat delay, a Nova Repeater, a Wampler Tape Echo, the delays on my Pod HD500 and also VST delays I can add to dry recorded sounds. I bought it based on reputation, Youtube reviews and the people who use/have used it (Petrucci etc). The H949 was the worldвЂ™s first de-glitched Harmonizer. The H910 Harmonizer was the worldвЂ™s first real-time pro-audio pitch changer and introduced the word glitching to the pro-audio vocabulary.

I've heard a lot about this pedal - Eventide is a famous name in studio-quality effects for guitarists. This effect emulates the sound and functionality of EventideвЂ™s legendary H910 and H949 HarmonizerTM effects units.

A tweaker's delight but be prepared to give it some time.
