Don't forget the Triwatt is basically a vintage Hiwatt in a small box format. Then look at how many famous Hiwatt players, past or present, have ever used an FX loop. I guess there has to be one somewhere.....

So it's not exactly something that there's much of a big demand for, especially given the fact that Hiwatt amps are so renowned for having very pedal friendly preamps.
However, if you want to have an FX loop, that's fine too.

However, there's not a great deal of space inside the chassis for extra PCBs. That Metroamps FX loop is specifically designed for Marshalls, so I'm not so sure how well it work in a Hiwatt, which is designed very differently. It would however be pretty simple to insert a series FX loop in the vicinity of the Triwatt's MV control. The nice thing is that the Hiwatt design has an extra gain stage after the MV which can provide the recovery.
We've also done series FX loops with other Trinity amps on customer special order. But the requests have been very few and far between.
Thanks for the response Zaphod!
I do realize most of the big Hiwatt guys back in the day just ran all of their pedals in front. But I'm pretty anal about my delay being after the pre-amp

Not really sure why, and I'm sure it's way different on a Hiwatt. I'll probably get it built and play around with it and see if i think it even needs a loop.
Interesting points on the Gainstage after the MV...That would make recovery much easier.
I'm really hoping this thing comes in soon, I'm chomping at the bit to get started!
