The "Cascade"

The "Cascade" is a clone of the 1953 Standel 25L15, taken from the original hand drawn Bob Crooks schematics. It is a 25 watt, cathode biased, true Class A amplifier. The amps is housed in a more familiar tweed style design, with a more conventional layout. It has two channels, Normal and Bright (with notch filter), and four inputs (1. Hi and 2. Low). With Treble, Bass, and Presence. But that is where the similarity to a Fender end. This a truly refined sounding amplifier, and the changes I've made do not affect tone, noise, or the original circuitry. It is a truly loud 25 watts, very clean up until 9-10 on the volume. The Weber Neo-Mag speaker is a lightweight recreation of the original Lansong JBL, and truly sounds the part. I use all top quality components - Sprague or Illinois Caps, Mallory Caps, Carbon Composition resistors (metal film on request), JJ tubes, solid core cloth wire. Built using JAN military spec - which means it takes a lot of time, but the result is worth it.

The amp will be custom made for you, with your name on the tube chart. You can select any color of knobs, cabinet coverings, grillcloths, transformers (EU 220/240 volt readily available), and even tubes (807's, EL84's, etc) and components. Having the amp housed in a tweed cabinet loses nothing of the original mojo, just the look. The price: half what a reissue Standel goes for.
