I plugged my EMS into a 1x12 open back Z cab that's loaded with an 8 ohm Cream Alnico speaker, and man what bliss. SS rectifier, low gain side. Gain set around 9:30, Volume is wide open, and the PPIMV that I requested from the factory throttled way back to around 10:00.
This gave me really sweet edge of breakup tone, fat and really controllable with GV, and at an SPL of around 90-95 dB.
Hard to believe that I can get really, really good Marshallesque tone at reasonable levels but there it is. And of course as I open up the PPIMV it just gets sweeter. My Les Paul Custom is channeling Dickey Betts tone, and my Strat is great too. Then I fed it with my Joe Walsh Alliance Duesenberg and it was singing.
The EMS is truly an under appreciated amplifier that should have caught fire with the masses but for whatever reason it didn't and sadly is discontinued. I'm sure glad I've got mine.

I couldn't agree more Dave. I run mine into my 1X12 or 2X12 Alnico Cream cabinets and it's unreal with my EMS. I also added a PPIMV to mine. It makes it a whole new amp. I also added a 3-way bright switch.

Dave, I would be interested in how the Cream Alnico would sound with the Z Wreck or Z Wreck Junior. Do you have any Wrecks laying around?

I’ll have to check one out. Currently shopping for the right 1x12 for my EMS.

I've got the big Wreck, I'll have to get it out and plug in the Cream. It's loaded with a Gold right now, but I bet it would sound great. I'll put it on my to do list and let you know.
