Last Thursday I took delivery of my Deluxe kit from Trinity. I threw together (literally, in a few hours) a cabinet for it Thursday after work. Yesterday (Saturday) I started putting the kit together just around noon, and by supper time it was ready to fire up!

I forgot to solder one small wire on the tone/volume and after that was fixed, I got to rock out the amp! Amazing tone... just brilliant! Very bluesy and it makes you want to play early rock & roll!

I ran a full build thread on Harmony central, so I wont post all my pics here again, here is the link:

Here are a few photos of my amp. Its my third Trinity (have a sIII and a 15 watter) and I have a TC15 on order..

Andrew's build pics and story are excellent reading for would be Tweed builders. Highly recommended. Very thorough and well illustrated.
Built the Deluxe kit in a day!! Awesome!

This is his 3rd Trinity Amp build and there are another two TC-15s coming up!



The croc-footed dude makes guitars too!!

Hi Andrew, How does the amp sound with the celestion speaker in there?

Well, it sounds "nice"...

I have nothing to compare it to yet. I have only played it with the G12H-30 so far.

Last night Iplayed it for a few hours at our band rehersal. I have to say, when I could turn the volume up a bit it really sounds better than when just cracked open. I was playing my Tele mostly with the bridge pickup (one I wound myself to about 7 1/2K ohm) and in the middle with my neck P90. Very good, useable tones for all the classic rock and stuff we play, along with some stuff like Neil Young, The T HIp, etc.

I find it doesnt like to take all my pedals quite like the 15 watter - probably becuase of the fact the 15 stays very clean for much louder. But I was using my TS808 for my OD, and a BYOC 5 knob compressor and a Boss chorus and it was very good with those.

The amp has a ton of compression itself or so it seems.

ANyhow, it is a completely different animal than the 18 and 15 and that makes me happy, because I was looking for something different.

As you know it takes a long time to get used to the capabilities of a new amp and I am excited to try out some different speakers, different guitars, etc with it.

Got to go back to work now!

Thanks for putting the build thread together, Andrew. I'm seriously considering a Trinity Deluxe kit for my next build. Your pictures and commentary are very helpful. Nice job!

Andrew, You really should try it with the Tone Tubby 8 ohm Alnico since you have one. Big difference. I really dont think much can touch that speaker.

bradovka sent me an article from The Tone Quest Report that says Neil Young uses Jensen C12N's with a special vintage ribbed cone.

I love the Jensen P12Q in mine.

S'all good, baby!!!

Cool article. Good read. Think the tone bypass might be worth a try too!

Hi everyone. What a wonderful thread! I just joined the forum last night. Yesterday I picked up my deluxe kit from Stephen. I read through the manual and then got on the forums. This thread is quite helpful. This will be my second build (my previous a GDS 18watt trem circuit). I look forward to getting starting.

Hello and welcome. Andrew does a great job of documenting his builds and he can whip up a deluxe overnight!
