Man, still digging the EMS, figure it will be staying for the duration. That said, any factory updates since it’s been launched?

Don did a PPIMV mod on my 2x12 combo and it sounds great! Works really well with the other controls. Big fan! Don and the Doc and all the guys at Z do an incredible job. They work a lot of magic!

Help me out here....I don't follow the EMS much.
Don installed a PPIMV? I thought the original design had one? School me...

John I'm no expert so I could be wrong. The original design has a pre phase inverter volume. Don added a level control post phase inverter. Now the new level control works with the original gain and volume controls much like the Cure's three controls (volume, master, level).

I might look into this, it didn’t add another control on the back or something like that correct?

It does add a control. It's great because it maintains the stock gain and volume controls but adds a post inverter level control. It works well for shaving off some volume while keeping the gain structure and feel in tact. Much like the Cure controls in this regard. The touch switch was removed and the new level control was added in its place. This is nice for me with the combo so I don't have to try and access the back panel for adjustments. I would think the control could be added to the back panel if desired in order to keep the touch switch. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that wants to run a lower volumes.

With the touch switch gone, what position did that leave it in? Was that an option?

Don left it in the up position on my EMS as this was his suggestion. I don't see why it couldn't be left in the other position if that was your preference. I can't say for sure though. You'd have to discuss with Don.

Here's a picture finally! Nice! I toyed with buying the last red combo Humbucker had for months! In hindsight, I wish I had bought it.

It went straight to Dr Z for the mods. It's an amazing amp. You should have definitely pulled the trigger, but I'm glad you didn't!

I guess if I really wanted it I would have bought it. Certainly a cool looking beast in the 212 red cab.

I have the head and cab and I keep trying to find an amp better than it, but I just can’t! It’s just so fantastic in so many ways. Sometimes I’m paralyzed by all the versatility the amp offers.

So true! Brad Paisley said the same thing about the DB4 Bluesbreaker Combo. Doc said it should be called the backbreaker! Hahahaha! Guess love hurts...
