The 30J15 is a reissue of the ‘62 Artist model, which shares the same circuit as the 20J12 and 30J12, and utilizes the “turbo” tube Standel used in that era, the 7591 (often referred to as a mini EL34) – a rich, hi-fi small bottle tube – a magical combo when paired with the Standel sound.
The 30J15 features 2 channels, Normal and Bright, and shared Treble and Bass controls. It runs in fixed-bias operation, uses heavy-duty transformers and a filter choke to offer a high headroom, twangy Standel clean tone, with smooth clipping and Marshall’esque overdrive when pushed.
This is the big, bright, “wide open” tone one would expect from a Standel. A classic 60s American sound that’s pedal ready for virtually any genre, and with its smooth highs and full midrange, it is the PERFECT amp for period steel guitar and big, twangy guitar tones.
Available as a 1×15” model with Jensen voiced Warehouse G15C Speaker for versatile cleans and smooth overdriven tones, or a JBL D130, if available, can also be installed as an upgrade (please inquire for price/availability).
