Here is a new TRIWATT with 212 Extension cabinet that is shipping out Saturday to Richmond Hill, ON. Lucky Guy, I'd like to keep it for myself! This is the second TRIWATT to come out of our new facility in Brighton.

Nice job!

For a moment I thought I was looking at a gut shot from one of my own builds - except for one small cosmetic detail.

What speakers have you got in that cab?

I am the proud owner of that Triwatt!!

What an incredible amp! I have never played through a vintage Hiwatt, but as a serious classic rock fan, I've had those tones in my head for over 30 years. Suffices to say those tones are all there in the Triwatt! I was looking primarily for the 70's Gilmour and Townshend sounds, and it just NAILS these.

The workmanship is phenomenal as well. I own and have owned a variety of other "boutique" amps, and Trinity is top notch!!!

I am using "BBQ" FC12's in the cabinet. These are modelled on the Fane Crescendo's like Gilmour used in his WEM cabinets. They are punchy, and very smooth, with no treble harshness.

And for those of you who are in the GTA, the beautiful scenic drive to Brighton is half the fun of picking up your Trinity amp!

Sweet!! I'm so glad you like your new Triwatt.

Here's a first clip using this TRIWATT.

I recorded the rhythm for Pink Floyd's Breathe over a backing track with the TRIWATT. I actually doubled the guitar over my original recording which was done on my Deluxe Reverb, so you faintly hear the original rhythm, but the dominant tone is from the TRIWATT. The signal chain was pretty straight forward...

Strat > Uni-Vibe clone > mild Delay > TRIWATT (close mic'd off center with an Audix OM-2 mic into a Boss BR600 digital recorder).

The original rhythm signal chain was:

Tele > Compressor > Phaser > Delay > Deluxe Reverb with mild Tremolo (in combination with the Phaser, it mimics a Uni-Vibe sound pretty closely)

There is a 3 sec silent gap at the beginning of the clip.

A little reverb added in the final mix on the Boss BR600


.. and an update from 'Comfortably Numb'

- Removed the variable blender on the flanger and ran the flanger 100% in the mix
- Dialed back the mids on the TRIWATT
- No post-EQ on the Boss recorder
- A bit of reverb added on the Boss recorder

By the way, this was recorded at very reasonable volume (family asleep upstairs).

Thanks Stephen! I'll start a dedicated thread for this soon...

Some comments on Comfortably Numb...there is some post-EQ on the guitar. You really need to bring up the highs and cut the bass to get that tone, and even still it's not perfect. I'm going to try to dial this in at the amp or with the pedals next time. Also Gilmour splits off part of the signal to a rotating speaker. I may try to simulate this with the uni-vibe clone partially blended into the mix.

Numb2 posted as above. Retake of the first solo

That is sweet, I'm thinking maybe more usable than my Hiwatt as well.
What are BBQ FC12s? Website or?

J

If you're playing at home or in small venues, it will be FAR more usable than a Hiwatt.

BBQ is code for a popular speaker company starting with 'W'. A company by the same name also makes BBQ's...

BBQ...got it, thanks. I'll go check them out.

Is this an open backed or closed back cabinet? I couldn't find any pics of the back.

It can be either! The middle panel on the back of the cab is removable. I run it closed back at home, because I really don't need the extra "surround sound" of the open back.

Thanks !

That wiring job looks pretty nice!! Good job!!
