"Here is the legendary noise making EH 1300 Electro Harmonix Random Tone Generator. SO FEW WERE MADE - THIS IS A SUPER RARE COLLECTORS ITEM! It is clean with some minor scuffs, looks great for an over 30 year old pedal and it works great. It makes all sorts of crazy synth noises and is controlled by the speed knob. Not sure the value, one sold for $850 back in 2007. Will start it at 799, and we'll see if there is interest in the strangest space age pedel from 1980.
'The Electro-Harmonix RTG
This is the EH RTG or Random Tone Generator. It was definitely one of the weirder things EH made in their heyday.
Designed by Bob Bednarz, the RTG was a Random Tone Generator. It makes electronic beeps and boops, either in normal mode or you can use the GLIDE switch to make it glide up and down to the note. Other than the Glide, the only other control was for the Rate of the tones. They're not really random as you can hear it start to repeat itself if you listen for a couple of minutes or less, depending on the speed. Just connect it to an amp and go!!
One of these sold recently on Ebay for $850!! Contrary to the auction hype, they were not prototypes; they were actual production units that appeared in EH price lists circa 1980.
HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE EH 1300 doing its magic. This video is not the one listed but it makes the same noises!'" [above embed]
