This 1966 Ampeg Gemini I is in very original condition except for the replaced speaker. I’ve owned it for about 15 years and have played it just enough to keep the caps alive. It doesn’t pop or crackle but a cap job / servicing is certainly in order. These amps are not Fender knock-offs, they have their own sound. This one gets very loud for an amp rated at 22-watts. Lots of cool features: Ampegs are known for awesome reverb — and this one definitely has that. By the time you get to 5, you’re underwater. Also, you get 2 different types of tremolo. Very’60′s sci-fi. That feature takes 5-10 sec to come on. When it does, you’ll know it! This is like the Bright switch on a Fender amp. This amp does clean sounds beautifully, takes pedals very well, and — one more thing — you can jumper the channels together. This amp will break up but not until it has gotten good and loud! Original speaker was AWOL when I got it. I’ve tried a few different replacements in it over the years. This Eminence Legend is a nice match, so it has remained. Original parts include Ampeg-branded 7591 power tubes. Ampeg circuit designs run power tubes gently, unlike Fender, so it’s not too surprising to see the originals still hanging in there.
