So a few years back, based on input from guys on MLP, I bought a used Phaez amp from someone here. It was called "Gemini" and it was a custom build. **Side note: Randy has built a couple amps named "gemini" for customers, but they are different**
The Gemini I bought had a JTM channel and a Fender Black face channel, both fed into an 18W power section using a pair of EL84s.
The JTM channel also had a switchable "treble boost" circuit which added to the gain, and a master volume.
I ran it through an Avatar 2x12 cabinet and it was really a nice sounding little amp!
I eventually decided it wasn't serving a purpose in my collection and sold it to another member here.
Fast forward to this year and I was listening to a track I used the amp on thinking wow! That Gemini sounded great! Especially the Marshall side.
So I contacted Randy and he's almost done building me an 18W JTM using EL84 output tubes, with a switchable boost. I'm looking forward to getting this thing soon! I'll post pics and follow up when it arrives.
