Looks like the two channel Rhodes Gemini is ready to go

Gemini 100/50

It looks pretty pissed off,but need to hear some samples

Channel voicings are the same as the Colossus so you can go listen to clips of that as this should be able to do the same thing.

oh my. i think my wallet might like this one a lot more than the colossus.. i'm giddy at the moment.

It's not THAT much cheaper than the Colossus, but then again most guys are saying the Colossus is $4k, and it's not if you actually get the price list to order one direct from Rhodes.

I'd really like to check out this amp! I was hoping it would cost a little less. I don't know why I thought that. I'd love to get one though!

The Rhodes boys said this lil beast has 4 gain stages per channel and is more or less a 2 channel version of the Artemis I'm intrigued

Based on looks alone, this amp will slay. Wish I had the $$$

Some cool features the Gemini has over the Colossus (only what I can recall):

• added gain stage/control knob on the Lead ch, a Voice switch (3 voicing options?), Bright is now electronically switchable and programmable
• accepts more types of power tubes than 6L6 and EL34 (e.g. KT88, 6550)
• remove fuses instead of 2 power tubes to drop from 100W to 50W (easier access)
• tube fault protection circuitry

This is what I can recall based on the Rhodes Facebook page a couple months ago, Kyle can confirm whether these features are actually in the final production version.

I am also looking forward to clips, notably of the "new" gain stage.
