I have dropped both my Empeg Mk1 and my Empeg Mk2 multiple times now. Never very far (say, from about hip-height), and always in the canvas carrying case, but they were serious drops nonetheless.

The worst that has ever happened has been:

- Cracked faceplate corner on the Mk1.
- Loosened IDE cable.

I've never had the fill nipple break from a drop. It would have to be a pretty hard drop, or just at the right angle.
