Can anyone help me determine what amp this is?
It's supposed to be a Marshall circuit..

2 EL84's, bunch of 12AX7's, pot layout, suggests this is a TMB 18 Watt.
Channel one would be just Volume and Tone. Channel two would be Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass.
Transformer looks to be the appropriate voltage.
I did not look at the component layout.
It seems to have an extra 12AX7. Maybe it has the tremolo, too?
Rectifier is wrong. That looks like an octal, maybe GZ34? To be proper, it should have a 6CA4/EZ81. I can't imagine this would affect the tone.

It's a Trinity TC-15, which is a 15 watt version of a Matchless DC-30.

heh yeah I'd like to take a look at that. The TC-15 was my gateway drug into the world of amp building... my first ever build! Great sounding amp too.
