I have a standard Emmons set up and would like to know how to play a dominant #5#9 chord and a #5b9 chord.
TIA

On regular E9, B flat 7 #5 b9 (root omitted as it should be) is open strings 9 7 6 5. Your A pedal will raise the flat 9 to sharp 9.

Another one without the root is C aug 5 aug 9: from low to high E G# Bb D# on 8th string open, 6th string open, 5th string lowered 1/2 tone with "X" kl, 2nd string open. If you play the low C on your C6 neck and then this voicing (omit the G#) you have the "Hendrix chord" voicing of a dom 7 aug 9 and you would have to do a Hendrix-like trick of alternating between two necks to do it (ok, it isn't playing with your teeth or behind your head and it's very difficult but it would be cool to get it down).
