EMS Synthi Hi-Fli

The EMS Synthi Hi-Fli was an early guitar synthesizer from 1972.

Steve Hackett was a notable user of the Hi-Fli during his years with Genesis, which he remarked was "excellent for little jokey sounds". For example, it's heard on "Counting Out Time" from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway on which he created a vibrato-like effect for the guitar solo.
