Quite honestly I've never heard of this amp......

Standel amps go back to the 60s. Maybe you're not old enough

That's by sure! But I know what a Burst is even if it was
10 years before my birth.... -
They were popular enough for a band to name themselves after the amp.
"Dirty Water" was a really big garage band hit song

Yep, I remember it very well. Being from Florida, and attending college in Maine, my friends there from the Boston area were surprised I knew that song. They thought it was a local phenom ...

I remember those amps well. The other guitar player, in the first bar gigging band (Florida, circa 64) I played with, used one.

I started playin at "Nort's Vanguard Lounge" in Cocoa Beach after my 14th birthday in Sept of 64. I was from New Smyrna so it was quite a drive. Well I still couldn't drive so i guess It was a long ride. Back then only needed a notorized letter of permission from your parents and you couldn't sit at aa table with alchohol. By the way Nort's was a pretty famous Topless GoGo bar in Coacoa Beach

Doug Aldrich was (possibly still is) using a modified Standel. Here is a link with a lengthy description of Doug's gear, about halfway down is a pic of his amps with the Standel on top. Also a link to modern-day Standels that are currently available. Doug has a killer tone. While it's not all Standel I agree that some Standel profiles would be a great addition.

Wes Montgomery used Standel as well as Eric Johnson who acquired one after an interview. See the link and go to the last EJ's photo. I've got very curious about this amp when I first read the article but thought then that maybe in my dreams I could hear it. Now with Kemper that might become a reality and that is simply amazing! Will somebody kindly please profile and share?
