New amp kit day!

Got this kit on the weekend, all the way from Trinity amps in Canada. Info and build updates to follow.

cool, those trinity kits are great value, good rep too

[GrantB]

BG, was your kit a Fender clone? Sorry, can't remember what amp it was, but was wondering whether you installed a master volume in it? Cheers

And sorry handlfras - looks cool! Keep us posted.

Nah the only kit I've done was the Weber 36 Watter, no master vol. I've done 3 fender tweed scratchbuilds now, nothing with a MV though.

Quick specs:

Two tube, singled ended, Fender Champ-ish circuit
Rotary switch allows output tube-swapping - 6v6 or 6l6 or EL34
Heyboer Trannies
Volume, Bass, Treble, Master and Level control (VRM)
The bass pot is push/pull - thin/fat
The volume pot is push/pull - tweed/'tude (marshall-inspired higher gain mode)

Should give a wide range of tones, all in a small head cab for not much more than $600. I'm stoked.

Ah, thanks...I knew you'd done some Fender style kits. I know the tweed thing usually breaks up early but have you considered a VVR or something? I'm grabbing one for the sooty/braden Prinzetone and wondered if you wanted one added to your order. I just find the Fender stuff to loud to get the break up I want. Even my single end Champ is too loud (admittedly the speakers aren't helping things).

Nah the vibrolux is fine as it is, I tend to run it clean and push it a bit with od pedal if needed besides it has a single 10 alnico and I like a bit of volume. I've run it as a dual amp with a small boogie before for the dirt, that worked out well and I've another boogie in the post

[GrantB]

yeah. obviously I meant "add it to my order"...but you sound sorted. That 10" will cut the volume back a bit. Looking forward to getting to two P10R's from the Prinzetone.

I'm kinda interested in one for my Vibrolux (the green one) but I doubt it'll fit in the chassis. How much space would I need?

It's already pretty packed in there - those Tweed-style chassis aren't great for extra space ... could look at moving the main and screen filter to the other side of the chassis I guess. Would you want the pot on the control panel?

[Hot_Grits]

That'll be a nice amp, I predict. Onya.

Sounds like it should go in the too hard basket I reckon. It ain't broke really.

[Bg]

yeah thats about the size of it. Next build I'll make my chassis bigger and think about it. meh, no I won't, I'll just crank the beejesus out of it and fit a ppmv if I need it.

[GrantB]

A little steel L shaped bracket on the rear of a head, set back from the rear panel, shouldn't be too hard to sort, assuming I can make it safe (a few volts through that circuit )...the Ceriatone chassis are tight also.

So what are the specs of this Trinity build [please?
