I noticed from His latest posting that Robbo has a Gemini III on his pedalboard. I used to have one and regret selling it now. I've tried every way I can go get in touch with the man who designed and made it. He is a member here, but has not been seen for years. I know he suffered the tragic loss of his wife and this hit him hard. His i.d. was David JM.

I have found someone who would be prepared to make these again, and arrive at a financial arrangement, but with no contact info, nothing can be achieved.

So... anyone know where he can be found? And/or, does anyone have one for sale?

Yes indeed the Gemini III is a very useful piece of kit for getting the tone close to some of those early Hank sounds. I bought mine from a gentleman on this site a few years ago and recently decided to build a pedal board and include it in the line up, I should have done this years ago. I haven't had a look inside but my guess is that it is a three stage filter that is switchable. The other options were the Ariab from Roberto and the Cutting Edge from Charlie Hall, but of the three I found, the Gemini III is the most rewarding.

There was also the "PB Box" designed by Patrice Bastien, but it was far more expensive, and he has long stopped making them.

Hi Dave...cant remember the last time someone called me a gentleman

I have a Gemini 111. I’m very pleased with it. Currently I’m using it with a Tech 21 Liverpool (and HCSE). I have the Boss. Katana head amp with all the variations of the Tone Studio - however I’m very pleased with the sound I’m getting now.
It would be great if the Gemini could be produced once more.

I had one and sold it on.
It was good, but only powered by battery.

I have this in my board.
Made in USA

Though suggested by a non UK member, take a look anyway.

So why is the battery a problem ? Mine has been in there for over three years and sill working.

I am sorry
