Anyone heard about the Eventide HM80?

[paugui]

I am getting one tomorrow (the seller sent it yesterday).

When I searched about it, I could only find it was similar to the early Eventides, the H910 (more memory for longer times and other extras) and H949.

But is it a good machine, or just a rare machine for collectors?


Thanks

i've got an eventide H949. it's very useful and my go-to instant Mojo machine.
you get a tone quality from it you simply cant get anywhere else.

I have no experience of the HM80 but if it's anything like the H949, yes it is a good machine and not just for collectors.

edit: i just looked it up. it's a half-rack cut-down version of the harmonizors of that time. unfortunatly its mono only, and the controlls are basic - pitch adjust is by ear - no readout. but it will have a good tone. here's the specs, it kind of sits between the H910 and H949 in terms of functionality and behind in terms of audio quality - which isnt necessarily a bad thing.

I've seen that photo too.

It seems to have some advantages over the H910 and disadvantages, but as you said, lower specifications sometimes don't mean worse sound

I will receive it tomorrow and I can post my opinion about it then, and hopefully it will be a good one

And thanks a lot for your reply

Got it a while ago and it seems to be pretty nice

Hope to get a chance of recording some demos to put here
