Vintage Amp comparison: 1961 Standel Amp v 1962 brown fender Vibrolux Amp

[@JasonFerguson1283]

So cool! I've never played through either one of those model amps! Thank you, Paul!

[@realitynuggets6204]

Nice amps! So hard to tell on the vid, but I have the Standel and the presence and punch is something else. Thanks for making this. That Standel is very light for it’s size, too.

Love the Standel,wish my S24 solid state Standel sounded like that! Thanks much for posting.

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Both fantastic but the Standel has a looser warmer broader tone with sparkley springyness( Technical textbook analogies) so to these ears it's "Hip"!

[@robroy4058]

Chet Atkins and Merle Travis used standel.

[@mea321recordlabelandstudio9]

They both have tremolo is what I meant to say at :40, not reverb

[@Barnekkid]

Standel sounds brighter, fender darker. I wouldn't have thought so.

[@1horton3]

The standel definitely has chime, most fenders do too. The 6G11 vibrolux happens to be a dark sounding circuit. The blackface vibrolux regains the chime.

[@mohamedtlass3842]

@@1horton3mine is quite bright so it can vary

[@graxjpg]

fenders of that era were stricken with wide tolerances for components, another brownface vibrolux made that same week might be brighter..
