Fairlight-CMI

Hello, I had both the IIx and the E1 I still have the
E1 and I will not sell it! it sounds great, different
than a IIx, but great! I do not regret selling my
IIx's they went to a good home, but the E1 will fill
your need for "that 80's smapler sound" and do it
quite well. The E1 with the genmod is great if I were
you I would buy it.
