Very cool 👍🏽

Thanks for the info, considering this kit?

Somebody needs to take an oscilloscope and check the differences between cheap and expensive pickups.

That is cool

beautiful job with the build Camel Toe- but no demonstration??wtf

Nice tone! I like the riffs too! Could you show us how to play it?

I’ve built two Trinity amp kits. The Triwatt and their 18 watt SIII. Trinity’s customer support, quality of parts and documentation are second to none. I’ve also built the Tube Depot 5e3 and their 18 watt Marshall style amp and modded it with a filter choke and switchable solid state/ tube rectifier. The Tube Depot 5e3 is a PCB design. The board is great. Thick, Double sided, plated through holes and wide traces. I just mounted it in a hard cab and gave it to my son, so now I’m looking at the Trinity 5e3.

Tip for soldering to the back of the pots. Crank your iron heat up. You won’t need to leave it on the joint long before the solder flows. Damage to pots usually happens because of the length of time you apply heat. Also, scratch up the back of the pot at the point where you are going to solder.

Scopes are invaluable for the bench. They can be fun too! Endless things you can do with a scope. For amps if you dont need it for debug you can use it to figure output wattage.

I’ve built 6 amp kits from another manufacturer and have a couple of questions: Is this a Tube Depot kit with a Mojotone cabinet? Are the trannys Heyboer?

Hate it when people run an OCD in the HP mode. HP is turning the OCD into a distortion pedal. LP mode is where it shines and 90% of videos never show the LP mode. Which is crystal clear OD. Ive used one just as a clean boost. Nothing has replaced it. Too bad.

Try swapping some speakers. Huge tone shifts in speakers

Can you change the wave form

Great video, but I have to ask, what Rush song is that music loop from? It sounds like it could be Grace Under Pressure/Power Windows/Hold Your Fire era but I'm just not sure. It's killin' me!

I could use this to set up pole height/pickup height to optimum?

I'm going to do a tmb scratch build. This will be a nice reference. Is this the tremolo or tmb ?

Nice build... I was toying with one of the Mojotone Princeton Reverb kits. Phil

Nice video and well done. What version of the OCD do you have? Thanks. Phil NYC / Jersey Shore Area

does its other license option already installed right out of the box?

hi, this amp will sound great with mullard i63 tubes at least at v1,i have a 1974x from 2005

I’m looking hard at this amp myself. Did you ever get a strat sound you liked? I think Its more of a Vox sound vs fender and that could be the reason the sound is hard to dial in.

There is a budget company that has Strats, Teles and LP copies, Bad Cat guitars. Would be poetic to play a Bad Cat guitar through a Bad Cat amp.

+++congratulations this was so cool+++

chip qwik tacky flux and wick for reworking, solder suckers suck... and make your life easy, get a solder pot for tin'n...

I want to think that Bill Lawrence invented the humbucker pickup? My son and lady friend(at the time) worked for him in Mt. Juliet Tenn....Lady friend later worked for Gibson Guitar in Nashville...Maybe in the 1980's...?

Is this the amp that is currently up for sale on reverb?

The only knob I use on my ts9 is the level which is on full tilt, drive and gone are on 0

Nice i m building a deluxe reverb

Both pedals change the sound of the amplifier. The OCD adds a lot of bass, the ibanez tubescreamer does the opposite: it cuts the lows and adds a lot of mids, so it's absolutely not transparent. If you don't want the sound of your amp to be changed, you need to use other overdrives. I would recommend you to try the Nobels odr-1.

I run the ts9 into the ocd

This was interesting and informative. I would like to see the comparison between a humbucker and bridge+middle strat pickups.

Man it sounds beautiful!.. Can't imagine La Grange with the tone around 2:42...

Phillips Amps rock.

It would sound better with a real guitar

This the first time in a music related video I have watched that anyone respected the quality of parts being used and not going the cheap route. Good going.

Appreciate the video...it's been helping me get through my first build the last couple of days

I'm planning to do my first amp build using the 5E3 circuit. Which kit would you suggest - Mojotones, Trinity or Stewmac? I was an electronics technician in the Navy 30 years ago, so not totally new to soldering or reading schematics. Nice job BTW!

Why you trying to get heavy overdrive/distortion (OCD) in HP mode to sound similar to overdrive (TS9)? Each of this pedals do specific jobs separately and can be stack nicely to work together.

The OCD on the switch set to LP might be more of a fair comparison to the TS-9

Ocd - Marshall - Les Paul. That's All!

save data,,, use fft of scope too

Do the channels work together like a deluxe? Not jumping the channels but if you’re in the normal and you crank the other channels volume does it alter the normal channel tone?

keen

Can anyone please tell me...will this amp will blow out my family's ears if I practice in another room while they're trying to watch TV, like say in the next room over?

1:55 The period is 111 hurts.

Nice work and thanks for the tip about the Cliff jacks. I expect Mojo to ship this kit to me shortly. I’ve already ordered better tube sockets, looks like I need input and output jacks and grommets for V1 too. I am going with a ground scheme like Allen and Psionic, to chassis points rather that the pot ground bus for a lower noise floor. I’ve built a 5E3 kit and still use to after 20 years- and you’re right, it’s a fun build and a great amp to have.

Great amp. Bought a used one after trying many amps over the years and this one is still in my practice room.

i absolutely love my OCD its a beast ! i love that it is a thick overdrive and i prefer that to a metal sounding distortion pedal. for my lighter gain i used a Suhr Shiba Drive...very smooth !

What seasoning did you use ?
