Ibanez Jemini Steve Vai Signature Distortion Overdrive Pedal – Pre-Owned
A discontinued, collectible dual-channel dirt box that puts Steve Vai's signature overdrive and distortion tones under one striking, swirl-finished lid.

Is This the Right Pedal for You?
The Jemini is a special one, and it's aimed squarely at players who want two flavors of dirt without stacking two separate boxes on their board. It packs an independent overdrive channel and an independent distortion channel into a single enclosure, each with its own drive, tone, and level, so you can set a smoother push for rhythm on one side and a thicker, more aggressive voice for leads on the other. If you're a Steve Vai fan, a collector, or a tone-chaser who appreciates gear that's no longer made, this pre-owned Jemini is a genuinely fun find. It's also a practical choice for gigging players who want fast, footswitchable access to two distinct drive sounds and a look that's impossible to miss on a dark stage.

Key Highlights

Two independent channels: one overdrive, one distortion, each with dedicated drive, tone, and level
Illuminated controls glow red or green so you can see your settings on a dark stage
Bright/Save switch adjusts LED intensity for daytime visibility or battery conservation
Rigid zinc die-cast enclosure built to survive life on the road
Signature multicolor swirl finish inspired by Vai's JEM guitars
Discontinued and increasingly collectible

Why You'll Love It

Features
Two separate distortion circuits live in one rigid zinc die-cast case, each with independent drive, tone, and level controls. A Bright/Save switch sets the LED brightness, and the pedal runs on a 9V battery or an AC adapter.

Advantages
Having overdrive and distortion side by side means you can footswitch between two voiced-in sounds instead of tweaking one pedal mid-song. The lit controls make your settings easy to read, and the tough enclosure holds up to real gigging.

Benefits
You get two go-to drive tones and a smaller footprint on your board. As a discontinued signature piece, it also carries collector appeal that a current production pedal simply can't match.

Great Fit For

Players who want separate overdrive and distortion sounds in one box
Steve Vai fans and signature-gear collectors
Gigging guitarists who need quick, footswitchable tone changes
Tone-chasers hunting for discontinued, hard-to-find pedals
Anyone who wants a board centerpiece that stands out visually

Sound & Use Case
The Jemini's two channels give you a versatile pair of drive voices. The overdrive side leans smoother and more open, ideal for pushing an amp or adding grit to rhythm work, while the distortion side delivers thicker, more saturated gain that suits leads and heavier passages. Each side stands on its own, so you dial them in independently and stomp between them as the song calls for it. The glowing red and green controls aren't just for looks, either; they make your settings readable in low light, which is a real advantage on stage.

Pedals like this don't come through the door every day, and that's exactly why we get excited when one does. The Jemini has that rare mix of real usefulness and collector cool: two great drive tones in one wild-looking box that Ibanez hasn't made in years. Since it's pre-owned, we're glad to walk you through its exact condition and what's included before you commit.
