EMS Synthi AKS - Soundgas Demo
View the one that we have for sale now on our site here: soundgas.com/products/ems-synthi-aks-serial-45242-ks?_pos=1&_sid=07391801a&_ss=r
Been asked to demo this unit for a potential buyer and realise it’s been a while since I spent any meaningful time with one🫣.
So maybe less a demonstration, more a case of finding your way through an AKS.
Really doesn’t matter as sometimes it’s more fun with an element of mystery - to paraphrase Quincy Jones: leaving space for God to stumble into the sequence?🤓

“We never messed with [effects] really. It would be way down the line that I got a pedalboard. The only pedal I used was the Space Echo, and I had this on/off switch to kick the delay in. And that was it.
Space Echo was a big part of the sound. We would go into the front of the Space Echo, and just turned the the preamp up full.”
Noel Gallagher on his Oasis guitar tone - interviewed on That Pedal Show.
Phil and I were working on some demo clips of the Soundgas Type G pedal in the studio yesterday when this happened - Les Paul into Fender amp (low volume/clean setting), touch of Boss DD-3.
The Type G combines our experience modding Roland Space Echo preamps and the germanium Grampian 636 so perhaps unsurprising that it excels at driven rock tones.
This is just the raw the iPhone recording (not the amp mics) - phone mounted horizontally over the pedalboard...
