There were no Gemini 3′s
Gemini 2 & 4 had a ground reversal switch – G1 didn’t. They were somewhat
popular in the mid to late 60′s.

I have 2 AMPEG Vintage amps and LOVE LOVE LOVE EM BOTH. I ws lucky enbough to buy em off an old pro who bought a pair of AMEG REVERB ROCKETS 64′s and a pair of GEMINI 2′s they are so clean one would think they were re-issues.
He used one set to gig and one set stayed at home I bought the HOME set still have original tubes handbooks etc…perfect !!!
I LOVE em and next to my DELUXE REVEB:S NOTHING beats an old AMPEG.
mostly known for BASS amps the tone through these is deep, clear and real, very 60;s sounding.
The Gemini 2 with the 15; speaker sound slike a Deluxe Reverb with more bottom end.
These amps are catchingon now since the WORLD has realized you donot NEED more than 30 watts to do ANYTHING or any VENUE.
I just played with Jimmy Vaughn at a 5,000 seat auditorioum and the Deluxe Reverb with it’s 22 watts kicked azzz!!!!
So before they crossover into the 2-3 grand vintage amps grab one while ya can.
Good LUCK
