    5G9 Tremolux scratch build comes to life.

    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.

      Looks professional. Great work.
      I would be interested how it sounds too.

        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.
