eljay Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Hey, all! This guy has been a-building for over a year. Divorce and other life stuff, with the attendant cash flow impacts, forced a delay in finishing up. But, finally! I wanted a vox type amp to round out my gear. Found a kool kit made by Trinity Amps in Canada (eh). Asked my friend Jim Nickelson at Li'l Dawg Amps if he would build the kit for me. Got Peter Mather into the mix with a cabinet, polished solid cherry. Received an email telling me it's ready to ship, last evening. Lifted Jim's photos to share with you, here: ef86 preamp tube and weber british series alnico speaker. Pics before it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Now THAT is a stunner! Congratulations, Larry. If it sounds half as good as it looks, you'll be Golden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Loves me the anything VOX. That is one fine looking amplifier. Living Room worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Whoa Baby! That's beautiful. Keep the baby photos, she is going to tan brown over the next few months. Kudos for keeping your cherry natural . Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitArtMan Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sweet! I've heard good things about the trinity amps, and I can personally attest to Peter Mathers cabinet building skills. Looks killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhvoodooman Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Whoa, absolutely killer cabinet there! Trinity makes a fine kit--premium components, well laid out. I built a head version of their 18W TMB, which came out great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 What an amazing build! We need a full review once it arrives and you wipe off all of your drool stains from that fine cherrywood finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Living Room worthy. in fact, she's going in the living room. no space left in the den! i think i'll put a guitar stand with my favorite axe (on any given day) next to an easy chair and make this my go-to spot for a while . . .

eljay Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Can we ask what it cost? ballpark $1600. i could have purchased the trinity build for that price but i like the idea of li'l dawg's tlc going into it and the custom cab appealed to me.
