Triiiumvirate Build Completed

TRIIIUMVIRATE

Wrapped up my VFE-Triumvirate build this weekend. Having carefully pre-measured every component before committing it to solder, I didn't stop at the "rock it before you box it" step and proceeded directly to the "finish the enclosure, stuff it and fire it up" phase.

I was more pleased with what it does than surprised that it worked when I first fired it up. (I pre-measured all components before committing them to solder.) A 3-band distortion with this much control amongst the 3 separate bands is awesome! I excised no mods as the default build is a beautiful concept all by itself.


Really pleased with how the Gorva C65 enclosure takes waterslide decals. Then after two generous coats of Duplo rattle-can clear, a dozen light coats of MinWax make for decent protection.



The gutshot . . . .


I really wanted all 3 jacks top-mounted, so I had to get a little creative mounting them. I lost count how many times I measured the components and their respective relative distances and spacing. Got it down to 1mm tolerances. Still, I had to shave one of the jacks and its lock-washer.


Checking dimensions and PCB layout. Here's the component side of the boards.


Here's a shot of the solder side of the Triumvirate boards.

Thanks for taking a peek!

That looks incredible, and so clean in and out.

Super clean build!  I appreciate all the pictures.  I like the idea of labeling the trims with marker, really smart, especially for this project.

Handsome and quality build! Definitely appreciate the thorough documentation as well!

Wow- the level of precision in your assembly is staggering to a new guy like me.
I like the layout of your graphics too- everything is labeled clearly and cogently regardless of the different knob sizes (a personal struggle I face.)
Super nice!

Professional looking build inside and out.   I just know I would screw up the drilling on this project.

Damn fine job on the build inside and out.  I like the attention to detail on graphics, drawing attention to the 3-band aspect, and even the stomp nut is perfectly aligned.

Thank you all! The kind comments are very much appreciated.
