Anybody have one/played one? You like? I'm guessing it could keep up in a band setting, especially with KT66's. Thinking about unloading my classic 30 to partially fund the kit version.

I did have one(the pic in the OP might actually be my very amp) and it was a phenomenal amp in all regards. In fact, the only reason I sold it was because the guy I bought it from(who was also built it from the kit) really wanted to buy it back and at the time I also had a Reeves Custom 50 so I helped him out and sent it home. The thing I loved most about the amp was that it had both the DR circuits and the OL series circuits in the same amp. Everyone loves those DR cleans and kerrang when it overdrives but I'm also a sucker for the crunchier OL tones. Not crazy high gain on the lead side by any means but really thick and crunchy, like a great Marshall Hiwatt fuck baby. Killer MV too.

I've heard the 6v6s were unbeatable for cleans in there though.
might want to PM KCtigerchief from the amp forum. He built one a while ago and has lots to say about it.

I play with a LOUD drummer, so depending on what you play it may work for you. If you're looking at a Triwatt though their selling point is mainly being a lower wattage DR504, if you want headroom I'd just get one of the VHR kits for a 50 watter. The Triwatt DR channel sounded just like a lower wattage version of my Reeves, it was great. Again, my opinion may be skewed regarding headroom seeing as how I now play a Hiwatt 100 and am used to V4's and the like.
Yeah, I would have thought it had more headroom than that.
Oh man, if you're able to play your LP through a Tiny Terror and be good to go then you'll be A-OK good sir. I'm sure you'd be fine with the 6v6s but if that doesn't do it I have no doubt in my mind that the KT-66s will. If I remember correctly the 66s put it up around 40 watts. In regards to the differing kits, it is seriously handy to have the OL and DR tones in one amp. It is one of the reasons that I will once again own a Triwatt at some point.
Ceriatone will cost you at least $175 just to ship it here. :cop:
Thanks for all the replies. As for as the headroom concern, I play a Classic 30 (30 watts, 1x12) and a Tiny Terror (15 watts, 2x12) with my drummer and still get a clean sound with my LP. I'm guessing the Triwatt will be able to deliver clean as well. As far as the kits - VHR no long offers kits, sad. Ceriatone has two Hiwatt clones - the 103 and 504 (and a 504 OL, which I'm not interested in). The 103 (the 100 watter) is the same price as the Triwatt, $600, which includes all the parts, chassis, plates and transformers, and no tubes. Same price as the Triwatt, more power. The Ceriatone 504 is only $530 for everything except tubes. What is a boy to do.
