Mezzabarba Trinity

[dead-pan]

Incase anyone is wondering, this amp is amazing.

All 3 channels can do an amazing amount of tones.

It is somewhat of a SLO'd up Marshall but has a great American clean channel that can be pushed to AC DC.

Channel 3 does great high gain.

Takes boosts well but doesn't need them. There is a built in boost though it seems this is additional tube gain.

The Feedback dial on the back is very useful for setting the overall tone of the amp.

How about some clips?

mezzabarba makes killer amps!

 

[Monkey Man]

G'day, Tim!

Good to see you bro'.

 

[dead-pan]

Hey Monkey! Hope all is well!

All the clips I had so far were recorded with the Kemper.

If you can tolerate some random riffing I just recorded this, channel 2 with the boost and bright switch engaged.

Tight and crunchy...I like it. Sounds like an amp I'd dig

Of all the amp companies I am sad I missed at NAMM, these guys and Omega Ampworks are the ones I am kicking myself in the ass over.

Sounds terrible as usual, Tim.

I knew you would love it Monkey.

Here is one done with a Kemper profile:

Maybe not everyone's music but for me the tone is good.

It's a bummer they had to put the master volumes on the back panel. I guess for some this is a set and forget thing, but for me it could really be a deal breaker. That and $4200 lol. Nothing against Mezzabarba, and I'd love to try one some time.

Controls on the back are awkward for sure. Not something I ever like. I am glad they are available however rather than a set value as many amps. The Master on the Trinity is a different beast from other amps. It does seem to drive the tubes slightly more but it drastically changes the sensitivity of the volumes on the front. Seems like a dual stage master (or master trim?) as turning up the volumes on the front effects the power drive. I find the masters on the back are best at 1 - 3 depending on style of music.

My PT100 has controls on the back also, though on the upper side of the amp which makes it easier to get to. With the Trinity I find myself going from the side to access them.

Speaking of the PT100, the Feedback control has a different effect than Trinity's Feedback Control. The PT100 Feedback really effects the feel while Trinity seems to effect more the sound with some feel. I need to experiment more with it but this is my initial impression.

 

[Monkey Man]

LOL Yes, I always love your tones, Tim.

That Mezzabarba Trinity Ch2 clip is the bomb, man. So tight, "phase-free", great attack emphasis... all-in-all, a killer mix-cutter, I reckon.

The Serentiy 3 MV30 15e lacks the attack prominence of the former, but still has plenty of mid-range cut-through and appropriate "meat".

Great stuff, man.

I've been looking into this amp for a while, how is it for metal? Also how is dynamics?

 

[kurtsstuff2003]

This amp is my next purchase...when?? I have no idea...lol!

What style of metal specifically? I can try to record a short clip.

The feel and dynamics are great. Very SLO like in that regard.

I recently got a Trinity and overall love it. But have you had any issues with louder than usual hum on channel 3? Obviously i know it’s a given with high gain amps like this, but this thing has a hum that is much louder than I’d expect

 

[JerEvil]

Man I got the Nirvana in for some demos and it smokes! Would LOVE to play the Trinity.

Sorry for the necro on this; dead, do you still have the Trinity? Eric Steckel's tone got me really interested in this amp.
