John, that's partly why I used the koa faceplate 
Brad, did you ever get to see the amp with the ziricote you sent me? I used it for the faceplate.
Mattia, I'd definitely go with a head. I've been thinking about converting my variation of that amp into a head this summer. I'm excited that you're building it! The only modification I've made on mine is a 500p treble capacitor. If I remember, I think their version uses a 220p? The 500p really tightened it up for me. I created a thread on the Trinity forum noting the differences in the preamp between the Lightning and the JTM AC30's from the 60's. I'm going to make those changes this summer, too. Their forum is so great. I think you're going to love this!
That amp was based on a Dumble ODS. It's essentially a refined Fender. Very very touch sensitive, fast sound, extremely clear. Larry Carlton and Ruben Ford are famous for them. Stevie Ray Vaughn used a Dumble as well. I learned about them from Kevin Gallagher. The tone stack is my own variation. On the cathodes, I used the capacitor and resistor values that Fender used on their amps.
