Members Naterel Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I have found that between the hours of 10p - 8a, asking questions on this forum will very seldom be productive. Sometimes funny, sometimes dangerous, often interesting, but never productive. look at that, and you werent even trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armchair Bronco Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 It certainly looks cool. What could be more cool than a blue-tolex covered amp named after spacecraft from the early days of the race to the moon with BOTH "Guitar" and "Accordian" inputs in 2 channels that can be jumpered? If that ain't the definition of "cool", then what is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RUExp? Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 WTF does "jumpering" do? Ive seen people do it on a few amps/pedals. FOR WHY!! It let's you use both channels at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armchair Bronco Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Jumpering just lets you blend the 2 channels together in weird and interesting ways. Instead of 2 standalone channels, you have something like 8 different ways of jumpering the channels together. For example: Guitar => Channel 1 Guitar Input; then Channel 1 Accordian Input => Channel 2 Guitar Input. And so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Armchair Bronco Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 Here's the only OK demo of an Ampeg Gemini I on YouTube. It's some dude doing a cleanish SRV cover. [YOUTUBE]xi5d8ezLBB8[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted July 13, 2009 Members Share Posted July 13, 2009 I want one but I doubt I'll find one in the UK for a reasonable price. Peter Buck used a Gemini II on REM's Murmur album. The Gemini II has a 15" speaker and more wattage so I'm imagining the Gemini I to sound prety much the same, just quieter and a little lighter.
