Beam Me Up Scotty
Silver Member
So, I've used the Aquarian Super Kick II for the past 4 years. I loved the clicky and focused sound I got out of it - great for the metal and proggy styles I played.
Recently I changed to an EMAD2, and I gotta say: WOW!
This head simply floored me with its sound. With an 18x22 bass drum, muffled with a small pillow and same tuning as the SKII, the EMAD2 takes the cake. This is by far my new bass head of choice; it has a wonderful attack, but supports this with a healthy dose of low-end.
The attack becomes more pronounced with quick footwork, but the low end doesn't make it muddy.
Compared directly to the SKII, I'd say the EMAD2 has more attack and low-end, while the SKII fills out more of a middle ground, while still having that pronounced attack.
That, and the ability to change the amount of muffling on the EMAD2 make it a diverse option.
So for anyone considering with an SKII considering the EMAD2, I strongly urge you to try it out - you just might fall in love like me!
Cheers!
