I wanted something different looking for the TC-15 and I wanted it to be compact.
Head is 22" X 8" X 8" ; 3/4" baltic birch; Mesa wrinkle tolex; Black chicken head knobs*; silver braid piping; dog bone style handle; metal corners; black metal grill; inside botom aluminum RF shield.
* White Chicken Head Knobs are the normally supplied colour but I wanted to see what a "Stealth" model might look like!

Here is the result:

Trinity TC-15 Front View

Trinity TC-15 Rear View

I like the look of this one, coco! Goth!

I can't help but wonder: What if the text and knob indicator paint were glow in the dark? Perhaps a eerie orange?

Am I too Techno? Given the gain, this could be used by NIN (Nine Inch Nails)!

John.

Oh,
I see what you did. The amp has the black with silver piping to match the faceplate

Sweet. Great idea

Kind of hard to see the silver piping in a pic. Looks good up close & personal though!

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments!! It's starting to grow on me as it sits atop the stack! Now it needs a matching 112 extension cab.

I had a customer drop Sunday AM by for an installation and while I installed, he played and it sounded just great. He played some cool Sunday morning jazzy stuff on his Vintage 60's, gold, Les Paul with P90s, until I said, "You know, it's OK to turn it up to max if you want." He made that TC15 Rock & Roll!! I think there may be a new fan! He commented on how versatile the Tone control was. When he switched to the EF86 channel (1), he forgot that the Master Vol & Cut worked on that channel as well. I reminded him and all I heard him say was 'jeez' as he cranked the dials and wound it out again.

What a lovely morning that was!

The more I look at it the more I think.....what a beautiful head! crap. I am still trying to come to terms with my 18 watt plexi envy I don't (do) need this.

Hey Larry.

I know your pain, but I am planning to rub some TC-15 salve on my itch!

Very nice ... and the clips sound great!

Thanks jd. No pics yet. Cab is built, just not Tolexed / finished. Customers come first but next chance I get I'll do it. It will match the TC-15 in the picture.

Stephen your builds always look stellar.
I was wondering have you ever considered hanging the chassis from the top of the head cab?
I only say this because Mark Sampson intentionally did it that way to get the chassis and tubes hot - "apparently" it supposed to sound better that way with el84 getting real hot.

Yes, early designs were that way but I wanted to use as many common parts as I could and since the chassis are now silkscreened on the rear, I went with the upright layout. Of course it could flip it over with new front/rear panels.

Tubes get pretty hot either way.
