How close is the Cascade to an original Standel 25L15, or the new reissues?”
Cosmetically, the Cascade is not attempting to look like an original. The Cascade is an effort to capture the tone of the originals and its designed on the 25L15 schematic as possible. Lets say its 98% identical to the original schematic. Tone-wise, the Cascade is on par with the reissues and the originals. The reissues arent even that faithful to the originals, so its a bit of a moot point. The 25L15 was, historically, a constantly changing amp all custom built for individual players of different instruments. We have done a lot of research of original Standel schematics to come up with the current design, and done a bit of our own tweaking, without changing to the tone, but to shape it to meet the expectations of each customer.
