I have a hardtail offset with EMG SA’s and it sounds really nice through this Fuchs. You can really get a whole range of tones with amp by gain staging. Clean tones are had by keeping the gain low on stage 1 and 2 and turning the master level up higher. I really dig the simplicity and versatility of this amp. It really does better in service, in my opinion, for me, than the Suhr due to simplicity in design. And it sounds great with the EMGs and especially so followed by a well tweaked space echo - er, galaxy delay (whatever they call it), :).
