Title: ADR Gemini Compact comp: Worth keeping?
Post by: vansinn on July 24, 2016, 10:13:38 AM

I have a 70's ADR Gemini Compact dual-channel compressor/limiter.
Haven't used if for ages, but remember it as somewhat interesting and fairly low noise, at least with a guitar rig.
Worth keeping?

Same goes for an old Shure Professional Microphone Mixer - 4 mics in, mono out. Has a real needle meter! Battery checker too!
Worth?

Hey Van I checked it out man.  I'll be honest I never knew Gemini did stuff for guitar, I only know them as a maker of things for DJ types.

The compressor looked cool, but I guess you need to ask yourself, do you like it enough to keep?  It's kind of a rare bird.  I'd hang onto it if I was you and providing you had a use for it.

Yeah, it's one of those things.. keep it for another 15 years, or sell and regret in 7 month.
One thing is that I remember it as quite interesting, another is that I'd need to do a proper test setup to really check it out, and I do not currently have this option.
I had of course hoped someone might have some experience with it, but alas alack, we can't all know it all.. ;)
It'll probably end up on the OnSale list. Oh well..
