Ken
I have an original 25L15 from '56, as well as an 80L15 from 1959, but I don't know how to schematicize these things. If you ever make it out to Austin TX, you can certainly take a close look and do your own browsing around the guts of these things. _________________ My rig: Infinity and Telonics.

Ken, follow that Hoffman board Standell thread.
Better yet join the board and contribute.
You would be a valuble member there.
And few other SGF members are therte too.
Jim Mitchel and Bill Creller for examples.
And if you do nothing,
read EVERYTHING ' PRR ' writes,
this guy knows more about tube electronics
than anybody I have ever encountered. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

Wow, red the Hoffman thread lat night. That is a superb discussion and a great education on tube amp design as well.
Herb, next time I get remotely near you I would love to sit down and take a look and listen to that amp. I have never had the pleasure of playing through one. It must be a real treat!! |

Search anything PRR has written in the last month.
The guy is encyclopedic on tube amps.
There are some really great amp desiging ideas
and discussions and trouble shooting on the fly.
And a very respectful bunch too.
Been spending a LOT of time there lately. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

Looks cool and one of the cleaner schematics that
I have seen pertaining to Standels. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

That schematic looks like a 60's Fender, with some small changes, and different output tubes. Is it supposed to be a Standel? |

I suspect Ted W. was making an Standel sounding amp,
with/for modern parts availability,
rather than a spot on clone.
Cool file on the Willamson too! Thanks Jussi. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

I forgot to mention; Weber will have a 25L15 clone kit, as well as the '807' or 'Gaylon' (the name seems undecided as of yet) which will be a 60 watt version tweaked specifically for pedal steel. That's what the above linked schematic is for. |

Obviously not a Standel clone, or anything close to it, really just a BF Fender amp, including the reverb and trem circuits. Different output tubes, and a variable 1st stage gain, but that's about it. Don't imagine it sounds anything like a tube Standel. I'm sure it sounds great, like a BF Fender should!..Jerry |

The schematic previously posted is all wrong. I would suspect that the following is closer. Looking at the tone stack, it looks correct for all the late 50's or early 60's controls. Some of their amps had the mid(Contour) control and others did not. Ones without Contour is just a straight wire in place of pot. Hope this helps out:

Very interesting circuit. Clever use of inductors, and I'm liking that cap (low pass filter) across the plate resistor at the stage before the phase inverter. Cool stuff.
I was wondering because that Gaylon circuit is VERY Fender-like, but with some super cool tweaks, like the parallel triode input stage (ala Matchless), as well as a few other neat ideas. Were those Ted's designs, or someone else at his place?

L1 C20 C21 are all quite interesting.
Cool amp for sure.
I can find an 807 in Bangkok too. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

With all due humility and respect, I suggest you contact TA at Weber website as Ted Weber passed away on 14 AUG 2009. May he rest in peace(for those of you who didnt know) We lost a great man in Ted.

Oh that is so sad to hear. I did speak with Ted a few times and he was very nice and very helpful.
I knew he was ill, but didn't know it was so far gone.
RIP Ted Weber.
Maybe he should be put in Gone Home now.
As a steel player I played through Ted's speakers many times. _________________ DLD, Chili farmer. Plus bananas and papaya too.

Hmmmmm,,, based on a Williamson? I have a Williamson stashed away. Uses 6550s I think. Maybe instead of ebaying it, I should build the appropriate pre amp,,,,,,,,,? |

I could swear I saw the kit on the Weber site a month or so ago, but now it doesn't seem to be up there. Ditto for his "Gaylon" PSG amp, a TV front '52 bass amp, and a few other things. Perhaps his production is delayed due to parts fabrication problems? |

John, these kits weren't ready to ship yet, but were very close at the time of Ted's death. I spoke to C.J. at Weber on Thursday, and he said that they're going to concentrate on maintaining the current business needs for now. Any new designs are going to be put on hold for the time being. |
