Legend!
Saw these in the II wish list, but not here.

The 7591/7868 is a gnarly little tube with a nice blend of EL84 grid sensitivity and a more 6V6-like tonal chatacter due to being a beam power type instead of a true pentode.

I have a '66 Gemini I, and it is heavy. A digital one would be a lot lighter.... :cool:

It's got a wonderful bluesy yowl when played loud.

Necro bump, but I'd second this... I've got a '66 Gemini II and it has such a warm, unique tone. Can get rather surfy with it, too, if that's your thing (it's not mine), but it absolutely does a wonderful bluesy yowl when it's wound up a bit. Great amp! I've got a '60 Jet, too, and that's just a little screamer. Perfect amp for those overloud blues. Would love to have either or both of these in the AFX someday
