Trinity Tweed Kit

Details

The Trinity Amps Tweed Amp is based on the original Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe. For rock, country or blues players who want a moderately powered amp they can crank up on a small to medium sized gig or in the studio, the Trinity Amps Tweed may be the amp for you. The fat, snappy guitar tones heard on many recordings, from Memphis to Abbey Road, were made using the Tweed. This is not a Marshall Les Paul EL84 sound, but it is familiar if you’ve heard anything recorded in the 60’s or 70’s. The Tweed produces about 15 loud watts into 8 Ohms using two 6V6 output tubes and is housed in a classic Tweed cabinet. The circuit is based on the original Fender 5E3 Tweed Deluxe.

To develop our version of this famous amp, we improved the layout, grounding, isolated the input jacks and therefore reduced noise level. We then had Heyboer make us custom transformers, again to our specifications. The Power Transformer is improved as well with high current capacity and a ground wire for the heaters to reduce noise. The OT is the Fender #108 design with heavier gauge wire for reliability, 8 and 4 ohm speaker support and again we used old grade steel to our spec. The redesign also includes a standby switch which is a useful departure from the original.

Features

What differentiates our kits from others is part quality, fit, documentation and support. This is a kit with Components, Custom Heyboer transformers and vintage chrome chassis printed on both front and rear.  Tubes Not Included. We supply quality parts. Switchcraft Jacks; Carling Switches; Belton tube sockets; Carbon Comp resistors; Orange drop type capacitors; 22 gauge General cable hook-up wire; pre-twisted heater wire; Belden coax cable; Thick 1/8″ GP03 eyelet board material, not the thinner eyelet board stuff. The chrome stainless-steel chassis with printed white lettering on front and rear looks pretty well stock from the outside but it’s built old school and looks and sounds vintage Deluxe!

Also included  is our custom built Heyboer transformer set. The Power Transformer is a High Current design and the OT is based on the Original Fender #108 design with 8  ohm speaker tap.
