Hey all, My youngest son has high jacked my EMS and has done a great job putting in 100's of hours of playing time (boy to have that kind of time again eh?). He has been playing the EMS head through converted 2x12 combo cab I have that has a pair of old Greenbacks in it. I like it but he is always looking for a little more treble. I borrowed a Zbest from my buddy Steve for display at a recent guitar show (we ended up not having enough space for the display). I had Josh bring the EMS head into the kitchen to check out the Zbest. Sounded amazing!! Everything you would expect from the Zbest cab, punchy, tight and that bit more treble he was looking for (atrribute that to the speakers). He fell in love with the cab and moved it into his bedroom and has been playing it like crazy for a couple of weeks. Question for you EMS guys . . . . .?? Does anyone have the Dr Z EMS cab and Zbest cab? I'm wondering how they compare. thanks, Todd

Can't help with this, Todd, but I'm not surprised the Z Best sounds great with that amp.

The 'old combo cab with greenbacks'...is an open back cab. Going from that to a ported Z-best is got to be a big difference. Even though the Z-best is ported, I'd say it's closer in tone to a closed back than an open/combo. Plus the combination of the V30 and the G12H is great. The V30 is really upper mid heavy, but the G12H is mid scooped. So they offset each other. The only downside is both speakers are 100db....rather loud.
Greenbacks are known for being a little midrange heavy....and putting them in an open back will emphasis these mids. So I could see how someone might want more highs....as he's probably being a bit overwhelmed with mids.
Now if you want something cool to go with that EMS...put a pair of greenbacks in that Z-best! I did that when I had my Z-best. I didn't get the opportunity to use it all that much, but it sounded better to my ears than the V30/G12H.

Z Best w/English Greenbacks.... Yowlzah!!
At some point, EVERY amp I own gets a ride on it when I'm feeling particularly (ahem), LOUD.
Remedy #2 lives there.
