Eventide Clock Works H910 Harmonizer
Eventide · effects unit
The Eventide H910 Harmonizer, released in 1975, was the first commercially available digital pitch shifter, letting engineers and players alter pitch in real time without changing playback speed, a capability that had previously required tape manipulation. It became a studio fixture through the late 1970s and 80s for doubling and pitch-shifted effects on vocals and guitars alike. Eddie Van Halen has been associated with early digital effects units of this kind as part of his exploration of studio processing beyond conventional guitar pedals.
