It's taking all my willpower to not run downtown Toronto and pick up a Trinity amps 18 watt head kit (with transformers) for only $249! Without iron those things are usually $360.

They also have an un-opened Triboost kit for $40.

Help me with my willpower (or convince me of how awesome the deal is...ha).

Well, I'll let DVM speak for himself but I think he bought a kick ass amp from them recently or not too long ago that he loved if I recall right.

Does that help?

Ha! Depends on what you mean by 'help.'

I wonder if this is an older version of the 18 watt kit, as I don't see the same amount of holes in the chassis (it is a really small, blurry photo though).

$249 for an 18-watt kit is pretty damn good.

You can't afford not to buy that kit! Go now!

Ok, someone play devils' advocate here.

Why so cheap?

It looks like it's definitely an older version of the kit, as it only has 3 controls: volume, master volume & tone.

The newer ones appear to have dual channels and tremolo, etc.

Anyone know a history of these guys?

Actually, upon further inspection, I think they've mis-labelled it, as it looks more like a Trinity 5E3 kit than an 18 watt. For example, here's the one for sale:



And here's the 5E3 on the Trinity forum:




They sell those for $410+tax & $25 shipping, so it's not *as* good a deal, but at $249+tax it's still not bad.

Slightly less tempting though.
