Standel introduced solid state amps two years before Fender and Ampeg did. I had a 1960s Standel Artist when I started playing steel back in 1970. It wasn't much of an amp for steel guitar though. Too much early breakup and not enough clarity. I got a Peavey Session 400 in the mid-70s and it absolutely blew away the Standel. Solid state Standels sell for under $500 today. But tube Standels from the 1950s sell for up to $5K!

I was wondering how the Reverbolux worked without springs or tape. A little googling shows that it's one of those "oil can" delays, using the same Tel-Ray can that the Morley units used. Pretty wild concept for a guitar effect. I've never heard one live. The one in this video appears to be broken as the knobs don't have any effect.

Buddy used these at a time I believe. They are brilliant, spacious, breathy....

i also have a Custom XV without reverb and tremolo. If I ever find one that does I'll buy it in a second! Best amp I've ever owned.

A 25L15 from the 50s will probably run you upwards of 10-15k if you can find one...

I have a '65 Standel Imperial XII speaker cabinet with a pair of JBL's that I play though at home.Unfortunately I don't have the amp head. I use it with eather a Peavey XR 680 PA head or a Sunn 200S. I found it in the basement of the music store I used to manage that back in the day, was a Standel dealer.What a great sounding cab!!!
