So my last post on the EMS was back in May when I was boasting about how good it sounded clean. Well, I've had a lot of time at home to try it in a whole bunch of ways! For starters I began messing with different levels of gain on both "channels". And then I messed with touch sensitivity. And then the rectifier. Man - there are SO many good tones in here! For a while I put away all my pedals and just played with the amp settings. Very fun! Like all amps - the more wound up towards the sweet spot - the better! Eventually (about a 4-6 weeks ago) I started pulling pedals out of the drawer, one at a time to try with the EMS. Perhaps my speakers were just not broken in enough when I bought the amp, but "suddenly" (meaning with lots and lots of experimenting and tweaking ) all of my drive pedals started "working" (except 1). Last week I rebuilt my pedal board and have been tickled at how amazing the amp is sounding both on it's own AND when being hit with one or a combination of overdrive pedals. I'm learning more and more about fiddling with knobs on my guitar as well - so versatile! In any event - I don't see much hubbub about the EMS - and I now find that sad. This amp is really very very good! I had considered moving it along a while ago to make room for something new (CAZ 45), but it's actually grown on me so much that it's now my go to! Thanks Z for making this great amp! Thanks forumites for letting me blather.

Yes the EMS ticks off a lot of boxes. I think the CAZ-45 could be great, but I don’t think I need that much gain. (I say this though I use several boost and fuzz pedals) I’m still hooked on the Remedy. Does what I want for this flavour of amp. The Nova is interesting, but I’m leery of both channel switching and rectifier tubes. Play on brothers. ME

i like mine a lot! Can’t say i’ve tried any pedals with it yet. I’m sad to say i haven’t had much time with it yet. Not nearly enough but i plan to. i really wish the mod for effects loop comes out too! But it is a fine amp.Keep on Rockin Bro!
