About  3/4  of it is fully functional and creates some very interesting
sounds, especailly when you send output from another EML piece through it.
I suppose it could be a hoax, but to what end?
The front piece is  from a blank 101 panel that's been drilled out to fit
the layout of  it's controls.
The logo is a little odd looking but the other labeling and design do have
an EML look. Whoever did it, had more than a passing knowledge of EML gear.
According to the  fellow I traced it back to, it was  an experimental piece
made by an EML employee, possibly  to evolve into some specific product.
There's no way to know really, just speculate. Regardless, I enjoy having
it in my arsenal and those sections that do work are downright nifty.
