It looks sooooo cool! It's tiny, looks like a lunch box almost. I have the 1x10 speaker cabinet too. It has a Ragin' Cajun in it. With the GEM on top, it looks classy I tell ya!

I will probably post a video on the weekend of me testing the amp. First impressions are very good indeed. It has many options for shaping the tone, and it's a killer tube amp for practice and recording. I got some really nice, sparkly EL84 tone with my Suhr and the GEM today... More details to come....

Very cool. Can't wait to hear/see clips. :AOK

The 6AC10 preamp tube looks interesting as well.

I've always heard those guys are Smurfophiles.

What do you do with .4 watts? Is that even a sound?

Oh yeah, 0.4 watts is a deafening roar, if you're a Smurfette. :) ;)

Great news, Robert! I know you had mentioned ordering one in a thread some months back. I think the ETA was August at that time. Finally, eh! And, I'm sure, well worth the wait! :drool

I know of another fretter who has one coming, so be on the lookout for another GEM announcement! (Not me, unfortunately.)
