Subject:Re: Speakeasy for CX-3

Hey Everybody,

Unfortunately, I have to bail on the current Speakeasy/CX-3 and powered monitor
discussions (that I believe I started) for a while. I got a call from Dionne Warwick to cover
the synth chair for a month-long European tour. (I used to tour with her, so she called me
last minute to fill in.) I'll be online sporadically while in the UK and Europe, but's it's a
pretty busy tour with lot of one-nighters and tour bussing. I'll have to continue when I get
back late next month. Sorry to say there are no organs in my rig for this one.

In the meantime, I hope to keep researching the best keyboard amps for loud, rock
environments, and I'll get back to creating A/B examples for EM with and without the
Speakeasy preamp ASAP.

Regards,
Rob
