Well done! Interesting pieces and parts, and exactly the right number of controls.

I'm more curious about that amp, though. What is that?

DangerousR6 says it needs nothing.

Freaking cool!  :icon_thumright:

And yes ... let's hear about amp and cabinet too!  :glasses10:

Thanks Fellas ! That amp is a 'wreck Rocket clone , just like a TW would be with all the right parts , iron and whatnot . I didn't build it it was built by one of the lads at the Amp Garage and the shell was built by a well known cabinet maker Larry Mann aka: distortion. It's stupid stupid loud for a "30 watt" amp  :guitarplayer2:







I also have it's mini-me a friend just finished this shell for a Firefly amp . it's 1.5 watt but still shakes the windows.

Love that dye job!  ccasion14:

I built a Firefly recently too.  I found mine way too mid heavy so I added a marshall tone stack to take care of that.  Did you find this with yours as well?

 

[fretless]

Thanks ! Cool , those are hard to find . No I don't think so it's pretty full sounding . I have noticed I like it better with different tubes . Do you have a 12AU7 in the last slot ?





I didn't build the board or chassis but mine did have the wrong switch in it that I just found and popped in and a broken on/off switch that I just replaced .

 

[crash]

I used an ECC99 for the power tube.  It gives it a little more power output, 1.5W I think.  There was a resistor change to bias that tube properly.  That is the only difference.  Using RCA 12AX7's for the first 2 tubes

Cool little amp ! Does that have a Firefly pcb ? Did you buy that as a kit ? It looks like a Gilmore Jr.  type chassis  which are pretty solid .

 

[crash]

Bought the PCB from somebody on Freestompboxes.  I made the chassis myself.  I used the template for the holes on the top.  You can see the top of mine is similar to yours.  I just moved the transformers over a bit.  The a push-pull pot on the gain knob.

I almost bought a Gilmore Jr, but I thought I would try this first.  I want to build a Trinity Triwatt next.

Love the finish.  ccasion14:

 

[LushTone]

Awesome finish and style of the whole guitar. I like all the details of it.

Thanks guys !  :guitarplayer2:

I'm a bit late, but I really love this build. Has there been a work in progress thread? If not, what kind of stain did you use on the body? Did you use tru-oil both on the body and neck?

I like the Purple heart ties on the head, as opposed to the traditional dovetail Joinery! :headbang1:
