Many of the Ampeg guitar amps have less capacitance in the power supply relative to that seen in their bass amps, not so with this design. The electronics can handle both bass and guitar. Consistent with the other amps in this line like the V4, VT-22. etc.
Speaking of the G12, the tremolo on the Tommy James' vocal on Crimson and Clover was fed through an Ampeg Gemini 2. A very nice sounding tremolo.
yes the Gemini 2 tremolo circuit is identical to the G12. I think the only difference between the two models is that the gemini 2 is fixed bias, closer to 35 watts rather than cathode bias and 22 watts. might be a few other minor differences but I can't recall off hand.
Doesnt the GV-22 just have a 30uf for the reservoir cap?
I know the G12 has a 70 or 80uf as does the gemini 2
