You know… This is actually a great question. And if I’m 100% honest, this is kind of how gear always works out for me. I go through extended dry spells where I really don’t get anything, and then a bunch of deals just kind of fall in my lap or work themselves out. So it’s kind of like Christmas happens a couple times a year for me.Do you feel you are able to still enjoy new amps when you have stretches of rapid fire NADs? Or is it more satisfying when you've gone some time without a new one?
Another insane bro deal from my guy Jarrod at Tone Wars. $1200 shipped for this guy so I could NOT say “no”… should be here next week.
I think I’m going to swap the tubes for 2xKT88 and 4x6L6. Currently it’s mixed 6L6 and EL34.

Well we enjoy seeing them roll inYou know… This is actually a great question. And if I’m 100% honest, this is kind of how gear always works out for me.

So it’s kind of like Christmas happens a couple times a year for me.
Also, I can truly say that everything that I’ve gotten in recently have been amps I’ve been looking to get for a long time. So I guess you could say it makes a doubly satisfying? Especially since it’s kind of been my mission to get things that are not tonally redundant in my stable.
I definitely would say it also has to do with the “poor kid growing up on welfare“ in me that every time I walk into my little home studio, or gear room I’m just absolutely tickled about the collection I put together. For one, I’ve literally never paid close to new price for any of the stuff I have, and the fact that I guess I am fortunate to have been able to hop on all the deals that I have. I certainly don’t take it for granted!
They’ll put a chip in my brain to understand how to use it! Lol.It's beautiful. I am sure it will sound good also. Looks like aliens gave it to us humans as a welcome gift after visiting earth for the first time.
Thanks man! Honestly I love seeing people get new gear. I get excited for them as well.Well we enjoy seeing them roll inseems like an excellent mindset!

It's a similar type of deal to say a Mesa Mark V. The Triamp just goes even further when it has separate gain/EQ/ch vol controls for 6 channels in total, plus the tube set options.This is what happens when a builder has too many ideas at once.
Where do you start man?![]()
Yah these amps are way more than I’ll ever need or imagine needing. It’s because I stay in a specific lane and don’t need much. I play my DSL, 5150’s, and really any 2 channel/voicing or more amp as a one channel. Like my Plexis or JMP 2203. Roll off for cleans. I’m only going as far as Hard rock saturation wise. So easy to do.It's a similar type of deal to say a Mesa Mark V. The Triamp just goes even further when it has separate gain/EQ/ch vol controls for 6 channels in total, plus the tube set options.
I think I've tried the Triamp Mk1 or Mk2 but only at low volume and I honestly didn't like it much like that. Plus an amp this complex would take you some time to really explore. The highest gain stuff seems kinda Recto-ish which has never been my thing.
I have a Triamp Mark 2 and I’ve got to say that it’s everything I’d hoped my Dual Recifier would have been. Actually great clean channel, actual Marshall tones, and the high gain tones sound amazing and have actual dynamics.It's a similar type of deal to say a Mesa Mark V.

I think OP bought it from him? The pics appear to be before it shipped out.It is you!
Love your show!
