Lead 2 has a lower mid-point and is favored by Andy Wood as his preferred tone for his signature singing leads. Lead 1 has a nice solid and tight mid voicing that is great for rhythms and leads alike. The Lead 1, Lead 2, and Lead 1 “Andy Wood” (aka Lead 3) voicings from the Colossus are all available via the Voice switch. Our Lead channel aims to give you one of the most unique, round, warm, yet extremely usable and cutting high gain tones available. We also include three tone shaping switches for adjusting the response, voicing, and brightness of this channel for a total of 8 distinct clean tones. With the included Gain control on the clean channel, one can also dial in a very cool vintage style distortion. Where most other high gains amps seem to include a clean channel out of necessity rather than desire, the Gemini 100 has a no-compromises clean channel with its own dedicated preamp tube voiced specifically for huge headroom and sparkling cleans. This channel produces a wonderfully warm tone that aims to be the best of any channel switching amplifier. In addition, the Lead channel features a Gain 2 control which is utilized in Modes 3/4 as a boost/cut to Gain 1. The Gemini 100 amplifier consists of two channels, each with its own gain, 3-band EQ, multiple individually switchable modes, and level controls. A transparent, yet fully MIDI bypass-able, effects loop couples the versatile preamp to the power section.

Built-in to this compact head is a 100W (or 50W) power section capable of running a number of different power tubes. With these tone shaping options you’re left with a 2-channel amp that can get your through the most diverse gigs with ease.

To illustrate, the Clean channel offers up to 8 recall-able tones, and Lead has 96 permutations. It features an unprecedented amount of programmable modes and features on each of its 2 channels. Based on the same next-generation tone shaping controls built-in to the Artemis, we aimed to design the most versatile 2-channel amplifier available. The Gemini 100 amplifier aims to fulfill the need for a smaller version of the Colossus.
