Well, it sure looks cool, but what does it >sound< like? Seems like it must be pretty twangy, yes? Some sound clips would be nice…

How about some history info on the Standel transistor amps?
There seemed to be so many models – what were they? 4-12, 2-12, 1-15, bass, etc. I've got one with a single 15in. JBL that is loud and clean, and heavy as heck!! Don't they have "potted" circuit modules? Seems like a pain for repair – what happens when the caps inevitably go bad?

Who used them? I think I recall seeing The Association with them (and Hagstrom guitars!) Anybody else?

thanks!
