5G9 Tremolux scratch build comes to life.

[Alby]

Finally finished, I did this one completely from scratch. Lots of extra work but in the end well worth it.

Sounds great. Here are some pic.

ooOOOoo, the wooden wedge for the footswitch is a nice idea! I bought a little aluminum project box. I think I like your idea better.

Thanks for the nice comments, it was a big project but well worth it in the end, and it was alot of fun too.
I don't know how to record mp3 files but once I am up to speed with the amp settings I will do a video on You Tube, keeping in mind I am no Jimmy or Chet.

The footswitch is a close copy of the original Fender one from the era, there was also another shape they made that was thicker. I managed to do this one with lots of help from someone on another forum who graciously disected one of his so I could see what makes it go.

The amp sounds great, I have a 1960 Jensen P12R in it right now. It sounds like a tweed Deluxe but tighter and louder. And as a bonus the original size cab is just the right hight for sitting on while playing.
