Watch and Learn

Emmett recognized early on that the sound of the Stick was broader than that of the guitar. The long-scale low bass strings and crystalline melody strings required a different approach to amplification, with very low noise and exceptional frequency response. The Stickup, though refined over the years, provides that familiar “classic Stick sound”. Based on the success of the NS/Stick, which used 4 active EMG pickups, in 1998 Emmett introduced the first “Block”, a compact patented removable module which has volume and tone controls and can be operated in active or passive modes. This module, the ACTV-2, is interchangeable with the other Block module, the PASV-4 (“passive four”), which features four selectable Villex pickups, four-position filters and stereo/mono modes.
