Hi Adam, another great video. Love that EMS! I actually recently picked up a 2nd EMS head. This one is a couple years older than the one I already have. Seems the gain structure is slightly different from the 2017 to the 2019. Both sound amazing but the 2017 (in low gain with tube rectifier on) , the gain knob has to be substantially higher to achieve the same amount of drive as the 2019. Just wondering if you know if they have done any tweaks to the circuit over the years. Thanks
I'm 99% sure there were no tweaks. Maybe just different power in the tubes? Maybe the taper of the pots are a little different (I think that's normal for any device). Maybe also that they are a bit like guitars and no 2 are exactly the same? I wouldn't worry about it as long as you like the sound of it. And congrats on #2! It's a pretty cool amp.
Adam. Weird question but I have a Wreck quantum silver, Z Plus, Z Master and CAZ45. My question in 2 pointed, which of those would you let go due to overlap? And do you think the new Z80 or X-ray would be the better addition?
I haven't played 3 of those, but of the 2 soon to be released, I've had my hands on those, and I think both are quite a bit different than what you already own. Both of the new ones squarely being in the Vox tone camp, and both sound wonderful. I think if you wanted to try a new one and have to get rid of something to do that, maybe just get rid of the one you seem to bond the least with? You have a killer collection already though. 🎸🤔
Killer sound dude! Keep on rocking!!!
Sweet boost
Another very cool video , thank you for sharing , have a nice weekend my friend !
Thank you, and you too!
Great video, really good tone. How would you say that the pedal compares to the rack unit?
They sounds very similar. If you DI a guitar into a mic preamp and into the rack unit, it's basically the same as guitar to pedal to di to mic preamp.
Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it.
So much want for this amp!! Sounds awesome mate 👍
Thanks Joe! It's an awesome little angry and mean old-school amplifier, and I'm lucky to own one.
@@AdamGotheridge On my hit-list for sure!!
Gary approves.
Good to see ya bud!🤘🎸
Thanks, and nice to hear from you as well!
all things goodness!
Thanks! 🙃

Scorpions is always a good choice for that tone. ❤
