I recently bought a 5E3 kit from Trinity. What a great kit. The documentation was first rate. I did the build with absolutely no issues. I then made a few mods (rectifier back-up diodes, negative feed back w/ foot switch, .022uF coupling capacitors). I am so happy with the amp. It has a great sound. The negative feedback mod makes it very flexible.

Welcome to the forum. Great job with the build! It's always good when it works the first time. Did you build the cabinet, too? It looks good with the dark wood trim at the top and bottom. What speaker did you use?

Thanks. I couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out. It was my first build. I did not make the cabinet. I purchased it from tubeampcabinets.com. The speaker is a 25 watt 8 ohm Bluedog with lite doping from "BBQ".

I am not sure why my post is reading BBQ. I typed in "BBQ".
