mahalo is right!! you’re almost paying that much just to ship a 4x12 to HI so it was a no brainer. it came loaded with 2x warehouse ET-65s and 2x Invaders 50s in an X and after demoing it at the store with a jtm45 and a soldano it passed the test.

i swapped a gh30 in there for a while and it sounded good, but it needs a pair of something matching up top to make it work as i want. so i went back to original.
 
So I'm a dodo brain. The amp is a Simul-class, but its wired all pentode. So, I'm wondering what the difference is from a technical standpoint? Is it the OT or the PT feeds that are different, or ???

I remember studying this sometime ago, but I don't remember...

The greens have a different OT from the previous MKIII’s. It’s optimized for pentode operation. Same one used in the early Mark IV I think.
 
I have a green strip non-simil too, great amp.
I recommend trying out a c30 cap to smooth out a bit of the top end on the lead channel. I put a 1n c30 cap on a switch with the R2 mod and it's excellent.

What about III++?

I've only had one III++, but at least in that case the ++ took it too far and the amp lost its feels. By comparison the three III+ I've had were all my favorite out of the nine IIIs I've had. So, I stopped doing III++.

This Green III+ may be the best Mark I've had in the live (thrash metal) band mix, followed closely by the IVb, and with the IIC+ farther back on the list.

Simul amp OT numbers from my records-
  • IIC+ SC152019B
  • III green 562004
  • IVb 562004
Unfortunately I don't have OT photos of the other blue, red & black stripe Simul amps I've had. Maybe someone else does.

Yup that's right, but since the green stripe was made from about '89 to '97 I think it came with a different OT early in production, then used the same OT as the Mark IV's. So possibly 3 different OT's during it's entire production.

really appreciate your knowledge, comparison clips, and cataloging the different attributes of these amps!
