We are making our Tweed 5E3 Deluxe amp available as a kit. The price is
$445 USD Everything is included except speaker and cabinet.
We are now shipping the Tweed kit with a significantly overrated power transformer so it runs cooler and the Output Transformer has BOTH 8 AND 4 ohm taps so you can now safely connect up an 8 ohm extension cabinet. Shipping not included. $40 shipping in North America. Canadian Customers pay applicable sales tax.The chrome chassis is made in Canada using our artwork. We eliminated the ground switch and labeled it a Standby switch. The chassis is tapped to fit the tube mounting screws and jack mounting holes are punched to fit the supplied insulating shoulder washers. Our grounding scheme is proven to be better and quieter than the original and other designs. In addition, we designed a proper way to mount the eyelet board and had holes punched in the chassis to suit.
Transformers are key to the sound of an amp. Ours are made by Heyboer in the USA exclusively for Trinity Amps using our design specifications. Like all Trinity transformers, these are heavy duty, well built and intended to last a life-time - unlike some lower cost products. The Power Transformer delivers 400 VDC B+ with Sovtek 5Y3 or 360 VDC B+ with JJ in this application. The 6.3 V is center tapped so no awkward grounding resistors are required - another improvement. The output transformer has heavier guage windings and is based on the Fender #108 design now with 4 AND 8 ohm taps..
