Trinity Triton Amp – Sold Out

Details

This sweet little 5 watt amp is based on the earliest 50s Fender Champs and Gibsons and produces a warm, growly
Chicago Blues tone in a grab-and-go package. The design incorporates a Tone Control which can be bypassed as desired so it is perfect for small gigs and recording. With the 6L6 switched in, it can easily handle larger venues.

It is Excellent with Guitars and Harps alike and takes pedals well. It goes from sparkling clean to brown and creamy distortion. Incredible sensitivity to attack, very nice distortion when you turn it up or use the Hi input jack. It may be a little cleaner sounding than the later, 12AX7 based Champs but with the 6L6 option that the originals didn’t offer, it can seriously bark in the larger venues!

For Harp players, Harpdog Brown played several  Harps, live, through it and said it was incredible! Very beefy, noticeably better than some other amps he’s played. It is his go-to amp now!

Ya can't compare this with anything new on the market, in Canada or anywhere in the world, in my humble opinion.

Overall, an excellent harp amp and a great blues guitar amp. Chicago Blues and  classic rock (e.g. Neil Young or Stones) are well within the realm of possibility.

“Triton, the son or Poseidon, special attribute was a twisted conch shell, on which he blew like a trumpet to calm or raise the waves. Its sound was such a cacophony, that when loudly blown, it put the giants to flight, who imagined it to be the roar of a dark wild beast.”

Triton is a good name for this little amp!

Features

True to the era, all octal tubes were used in this Single Channel amp. The circuit is extraordinarily simple, using one New Old Stock (NOS) 6SJ7 pentode in the preamplifier section to provide a single stage of voltage amplification, one 6V6 beam power pentode in the power amplifier section, a 5Y3 tube rectifier tube and a single volume knob with a by-passable tone control for those who want the raw energy.
We added a bias switch so players can use a 6L6 and also a 4/8 ohm output switch used with our custom made Heyboer output transformer.

It comes housed in an Old-School 40s-50s TV front style lacquered Tweed covered cabinet and uses an 8″ Tone Tubby AlNiCo hemp cone speaker.
