Just finished my TC-15 build and it sounds amazing! Still need to do some voltage checks, but I am very happy with the tone! I will be starting work on a head cabinet for it soon!

Very nice build. Neat and tidy! Since its one of the first 'new' TD15s, we're really glad it worked .
Thanks for sharing your build. Any feedback is appreciated!

I took pics of the entire process, and the amp sounds amazing. I realize this is the new board, and it lays out beautifully! I will post up more pics and some feedback soon....thanks for putting together such a great product!

Good evening all! Here are some pictures I took as I built the TC-15 amp kit. I will probably take a few post over the next couple of evenings as there are a lot of pics.

First off, I grouped everything together and took inventory!

Next up was heater wiring. I have never used solid core wire but really like the way it stays put once it is soldered. Makes lead dress much easier!

One of the biggest challenges for me was the contour switch. Really wanted this to look and function correctly!

Next was the line cord, fuse holder, power/standby/ and PT!

Final set of pictures. the build went together really well. The instructions were great. If I had to ask for anything, it would be a few more inches of shielded cable! There was enough in the kit but not enough if you made a mistake!

Wow, that's a great looking build. I thought I did a neat job on the TC-15 I built, but you've shown us a thing or two! I like the new black turret board.

What would be a good head cabinet for this model? when I built my T18 I ended up using a small mojo tone marshall head box. I like the look of the creme head cab on your website, guess I could order one from a supplier here int the states.

I don't think any other company builds a stock cab that looks like ours, but you can get one custom made or get it from us.
It would fit into the same cab as the 18 watt so that's an option I guess.
