Description:

All you should really need to know about the GV-22 Gemini amps is that Keith Richard’s played this model on Exile on Main St, which is arguably one of the finest Rock n’ Roll albums ever. If you need more incentive than that that this Ampeg from ’73 is an absolute tone classic please read on. Loaded with two original and beautiful, Chicago-made Jensen speakers, and boasting spring reverb and some lovely tremolo, this amp is a fantastic clean platform that has a great, toneful grind to it when pushed harder. You’ll be inspired by lineage and the tone of this Gemini time and time again for studio, stage and rehearsal work.
