Hello all, I suspect I'll be out of luck getting rid of this device on this site, but its worth a go. Recently picked up a mono Harmonic Converger and is now surplus to my needs since a stereo model I already own is more suitable. Willing to sell this for nearly half the price of what was paid for new, its only 6 months old here is the blurb: harmonicconverger.com/All_About_the_HC.htmla short answer to this however is: it kills fizz in amp modelers, and it does this amzingly well might I ad. I used this one with GT-8 pedal and GT-6 pedal with excellent results, but since I play using two amps my stereo model is all I need now. This model can be used in a modelers effects loop, or on the output of the modeler. P.M if interested ;D

Sounds interesting enough to ask you if you can post with and without sound samples?

certainly sir Ok This is silly question, but where can I do this? I mean any sites I can post my own sound clips? I have an ultaimate guitar forum account, could may be do it there, anyways we'll figure out something If not I can e-mail you some clips. By the way, this device is more useful to me (sorry was) as I play mostly heavy metal, and stickin up the gain on my modelers gives horrible fizz. Putting the the HC on there, adjusting the control say 40 degrees clockwise takes it away completely (so the HC is not full on in other words). Sure you could mess about with the EQ system for ever and take some fizz away but that uses up your equalizer block and that aint as easy as a sticking HC on there. And once it's on there you can use the EQ normally to help you in your tone quest. Of course the HC has an effect on the clean settings to but its more noticeable on distorted settings. I basically rely on this device now, my stereo model that is. I shall prepare some clips over the weekend JohnH ok?

The HC is a two pole LPF with a mix control which allows you the mix in the dry signal. The first time I heard about it, I went and whipped up the same thing in my DAW and it really did make a difference. I'd say it's subtle, but positive. I was never really dissatisfied with my V-Amps, but I've used some version of this concept ever since. The V-Amps have a "Live EQ" which comes after everything else and the High frequency seems to be about perfect for this.
For my money the HC is too expensive as a one trick pony, when a parametric EQ or similar would do the same thing, and have other applications as well, but a lot of people swear by it.

That may be so ash, but I will not be selling my HC for $215 like they are on Hadley's site.
Which is why I'm selling it for someone else to have a chance at getting something so ridiculously over priced.
