Emax

My Emax 2 came from the apple computer companies sound studio and it still has many of the commercials audio tracks saved on the Hard drive.

  Say you did own an emax with famous presets...
  even when you don't play the same riff. the sound may trigger something subconsciously that reminds many people of the songs they loved in the past. some may notice it some may not... they may not know why they like it so much :)
  That would be cool if it happened naturally like if you inherited the instrument or it was a gift to you from the famous owner or even if they sold it to you but going to an auction just for that would be a bit nerdy / trying too hard for my tatses lol.
  not to be rude just joinin in the convo.
