As many of you guys know, I sold off all my other amps soon after I was struck by the Trinity bug almost three years ago (and now I play my 18 sIII, my TC15 and T15, and Triwatt excusively). I was up untill then playing a Fender DRRI, Orange rocker 30 and Marshall JCM900.
Last night I gigged with one of the bands I play in, and myself and the other guitarist decided to bring only our Teles (standard single coil Tele pups). I was playing my Triwatt, and have a few high gain OD pedals I also use (plexitube and fulltone OCD). He uses his Rocker 50 head&cab.
Here is the thing... my amp, even with the OD set at half and with my OD pedals on, is near whisper quiet with me standing only a few feet in front of the amp!
My buddy, with the Orange R50 was SO noisy, even on the "clean" channel it was disgusting. Seriously, the noise was almost unbearable and I am hoping for tonight's gig he either brings a HB equipped guitar, or his TC15 or both
I still am amazed at HOW QUIET these hand built/wired amps are, and you sort of forget until you play with someone using something else. I forgot how noisy my old amps were as well.
