This is my second completed Trinity kit. It was fun to build and even more fun to play. Two thumbs up for Trinity amp kits.

The goods...


Hardware mounted...


Heater wiring complete...


Just a few connections to go....


Done!


All systems go...


And a nice Padauk and Cocobolo cabinet to finish things off...

That cabinet looks killer

The amp isn't too bad either Even added the relay for footswitching the OD

Successful is hardly the word. More like spectacular! The wiring is very tidy and the cabinet is a work of art. I bet it sounds amazing too.
Did you build the cabinet yourself?

Nice build. What made you decide to wire under the board?
Cab is amazing. Awesome wood. Only thing I would have added was some top venting. I use the same KT66 tubes and they generate a fair amount of heat.

Thanks Stephen, Mitch and Roadstar! Yes, I built the cab myself. I debated adding vents for the large tubes, but I wanted to keep the top clear. I built the cab with a little extra height, and the back is fully open, so I'm hoping there is enough ventilation and that the heat won't affect the finish on the top. We'll see. I went with the below board connections just for a cleaner look inside.

Great job on the cabinet. I made a padauk cabinet for my TC-15. I experimented with a couple of solid wood front panels for it. I tried teak and padauk but never liked the look. I didn't think to try a darker wood with a light border. The cocobolo front panel with the white border on yours really sets it off.

I ended up just making a black front panel with a large vent for mine. There's a post on this forum about it if you want to have a look. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3489

Running the wires under the board definitely looks neater. It's the way the original Hiwatts were done, too.

Congratulations again on a job well done. I hope you enjoy the amp for a long time.

Your cabinet looks great Mitch! I like the way you vented it and added the lettering. I'd like to try a TC-15 some day. I need something Voxy to complete the stable.
I had a hard time finding wood that complimented the padauk also. I was originally going to use wenge, but I stumbled across that piece of cocobolo in the lumber yard and the coloring seemed to work pretty well. Expensive stuff though! I decided to stretch the investment and resawed the front piece to 3/8" and laminated it to a piece of maple for mounting. That left me with enough cocobolo for a couple of guitar fretboards.
