DigiTech 8760-S
What the archive has on the 8760-S is mostly an address - which tells you more than it should.
Overview
The DigiTech 8760-S is an obscure entry in the company's catalog, and almost nothing about it has been documented. What does survive is a paper trail of a different kind. The string "8760-S" turns up in the archive's indexed documents not as a model name on a front panel but as part of a street address: 8760 S. Sandy Parkway, Sandy, Utah, the corporate home of Digitech Studio and, later, Harman Music Group Incorporated.
That address appears in the declaration-of-conformity paperwork attached to a run of DigiTech products from the mid-to-late 1990s. A declaration dated December 1, 1997, signed by the president of Digitech Studio, lists the S-100 as the declared product and carries the 8760 S. Sandy Parkway address. A second declaration, effective May 1, 1998, covers the S-200. A third, effective June 5, 1998, is issued under the name Harman Music Group Incorporated and declares the Quad 4. All three share the same Sandy, Utah address. All three carry the same European contact details too - a Digitech sales and service office at 3 Overlook Drive #4, Amherst, New Hampshire - along with the same conformity standards: EN 60065 (1993) for safety, IEC 65 (1985) with Amendments 1, 2 & 3, EN 55013 (1990) and EN 55020 (1991) for EMC. The paperwork also confirms compliance with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC and EMC Directive 89/336/EEC as amended by Directive 93/68/EEC.
For anyone trying to pin down the 8760-S as a product, the designation is ambiguous. The archive's semantic index attached the 8760-S label to these DigiTech documents because the address string matches, not because any of them describe an 8760-S device. One of the indexed chunks is a bill-of-materials page for the GSP2101, dated April 2000, with the same Sandy, Utah header. Another is a user guide fragment for the S-200. None of them name an 8760-S.
The period advertising the archive holds for DigiTech from this era is for other products entirely. It consists of full-page spots in Mix and EQ magazines. A Mix (May 1995, p.77) advertisement promotes the Studio Vocalist, a vocal harmonizer pitched at singers working out five-part harmony, with front-panel controls for developing harmony ideas and MIDI-out transmission of keystrokes for automated changes. The same campaign ran in EQ (December 1994, p.5) and again in Mix (August 1995, p.69), where the copy was updated to mention a gender parameter. A separate DigiTech campaign in EQ (December 1994, p.19), repeated in Mix (February 1995, p.13) and EQ (December 1995, p.39), pushed a processor on the strength of "instant module/parameter access" and flexibility, with reverb, chorus and flange algorithms name-checked. These ads are useful for dating the company's output and confirming its Harman International ownership at the time. They do not describe the 8760-S.
So the archive has a model number and no verifiable product facts behind it. No specifications, no production years, no original price, no dimensions, no circuit details, no reviews, no owner reports, no known faults. The fact sheet for this entry is empty by design. The 8760-S remains unidentified. It may be a real DigiTech product that never generated surviving documentation, or the designation may have been attached to these documents in error during indexing. Either way, nothing in the available record supports describing it as a synthesizer, a processor, or anything else.
Collectors chasing a DigiTech 8760-S should treat any listing claiming specific specs with suspicion until a manual, a period review, or a photograph of the actual unit surfaces. The address on the paperwork is real.
