Eventide

Eventide, established in the early 1970s, is a renowned name in professional audio equipment, particularly for its innovations in digital effects processing. The company revolutionised the industry in 1975 with the release of the H910 Harmonizer, the first digital effects processor capable of real-time pitch and time manipulation. Its unique sound and versatility quickly made it a favourite among musicians and producers across diverse genres, from rock to electronic music. Building on this success, Eventide introduced the H3000 Ultra-Harmonizer in 1986, a versatile effects processor offering reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, and complex multi-effects chains.

The Eventide Model FL201 Instant Flanger was designed to simulate true tape flanging and offered a much deeper flanging effect than anything previously available, it was widely used on many legendary recordings.
