I have always been a fan of the Gemini 1 but it isn't very small,
The gu-12 is about as small as they come aside from the jets. They are similar in actual power, (same with Gemini 1 too). But the small cab on the jet makes it sound more boxy.
The Gemini 1 isn't that heavy either. Similar or slightly lighter than a deluxe reverb.
The original reverberocket is a great size, but it doesn't have quite the same sound as the G-12 or gu-12
Doe you want reverb and trem? If the effects aren't a big deal the mercury is a nice choice.

What I'm looking for is something i can just pick up and go with to a jam or small gig and not make two trips to the car. I would love a GU-12 but man those things are pricey right now. I was looking at a jet j12d or something because those look compact. could those keep up with a drummer and bass? how are they with pedals? I seem to recall someone saying thats what the gu-12 is based off the old jets. I would like something with reverb but thats not a deal breaker. I usually dime all ampeg tone controls, so something with just a tone knob wouldn't bother me either. I was also considering a traynor ygm-3. Does anyone have a recommendation of something I should be keeping an eye out for? even outside of the ampeg line? Thanks
