‘62 Reissue Standel 20J12 15-watt, 1x12” Hand-wired All Tube Amplifier

The 20J12 is a reissue of the coveted ‘62 20J12, driven by a pair of cathode biased EL84’s, as original. A 1×12” combo, with gain adding Treble and Bass controls and two separate channels – one voiced for single coils, the other for humbuckers - this is a sound and look that stands apart from the crowd.

The 20J12 was Standel’s answer to the Fender Deluxe, and delivers the unique Standel circuitry and sound in a conventionally tubed, lightweight package; rich cleans that chime and twang and when turned up it overdrives smoothly, with that distinctive EL84 bite.

With its brushed aluminum metal photo faceplate, an original feature, the 20J12 offers a studio quiet noise floor and volume that belies its size. The original Standel catalog referred to the 20J12 as an “outstanding amplifier in its class” and you’ll agree – with its proprietary Standel designed cascode tube phase inverter, there is a detail and clarity not found in amps of this era – making it perfect for rock, surf, jazz, jangle-pop, indie rock, country and of course the roots Americana to which Standel is indelibly linked.

Of the 200 or so originals made, they seldom change hands; Now the 20J12 is available again after 60 years. It’s perfect for standard guitar or low volume lap steel guitar; a grab and go, pedal friendly platform for small venues, studios, and your favorite music room.
