Love the Chrome Chassis Rectos. Wonder if they'll be making Triples too? I'd grab one for shits and giggles. Add it to the other 3 Rectos in the arsenal.

@Mr. Chainsaw and @hellzington agree with you both. This seems out of alignment with what I've heard. If it were a limited run it would probably cost ~$5k+. The 2 Channel Dual Rectifier Reissue seems to back this limited run rumor. The mark up in production for a chrome chassis Rectifier...

Tube guy here too. Have had every iteration of Fractal Audio's AxeFx and own quite a few higher-end amps. Was playing Fractal's for quite a few years, but then switched back to tube because I missed the "in the room" experience. They hit on an interesting niche for home players by adding the...

I've owned both a Red Stripe and 2 No Stripes w/ 105pt's. They do sound different from each other. The No Stripes are a little more raw sounding and Rhythm 2 sounds more like a cranked Blackface. The Red Stripe out of the box sounds a little closer to a IIC+, but the top end was a little more...

Listed on CL so not sure how legit, but the price is right if you're in the Baltimore area and looking for a JP2C. Mesa Boogie JP-2C Limited Edition Head - $2,000 (DC) Used but like new Mesa Boogie JP-2C Limited Edition head. 3 channels, 2 graphic eq’s, reverb, midi. 5 12AX7 preamp tubes...

100% agree with @Tone Monster . I prefer the +/++ mod on all the IIC+, IIC's I've owned. They should come stock with it, for the amount of dough they'll probably charge for them.

Haven’t tried a Coliseum, but any members have experience with a Mark Coliseum vs slaved Mark into a Strategy 400? Supposedly the 400 has a similar (not exact) power section.

Can't think of a person more deserving of that title than Mike. Just an all around good guy with a passion for the business. It'll be a sad and happy day when he decides to hang up his soldering iron. Hopefully Gibson realizes what made Mesa Boogie so successful and sticks to hiring good...

It wouldn't be too surprising if they released a Limited-Run IIC+ reissue ($$$). Perhaps one associated with an artist, but maybe not. Kind of like what they did with the King Snake. It's a Mark I with tweaks and different PCB layout/construction. As far as the IIC+ goes, the transformers...

Schumacher makes their transformers in Mexico. Classic Tone made their transformers in the USA. A large majority of Boutique Amp Manufacturers used Classic Tone transformers. They were well known for their quality and price point. Unfortunately the pandmic caused Classic Tone to go out of...

3 Ch. Triple Rectifier Solo Head for $550 San Diego, CA area https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/338733165698391/?mibextid=HHaHfI

The new Shuguangs sound warmer, compared to the old square foil getters. I re-tubed my JP-2C with them. At $16 a tube, they're priced right.

Mesa Boogie Halfback Cabinet c90 & evm12L for $300. Not a bad price and it looks clean. Just missing its Mesa/Boogie logo. Located in Fresno, CA https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/441654858213215

@GJgo are the PT (190555) and OT (0160322) the same transformers in the IIB Coliseum?

This comment resonates with my experience. Between my 2 Duals (Rev E & F) and my Triple G-->C, I can throw a good boost in front of any of them and use a PEQ in the loop to slightly boost the overall preamp signal and bring out a little more of the frequencies I want with good results. As for...

I wouldn't put much stock in the whole F vs G debate. According to Mike B there weren't many changes between E, F and G. The Revisions which break from that are C & D due to the PCB. The Rev C mod is cool but isn't 100% to C specs & kills the clean channel. The earlier comment about...

@cobrahead1030 good choice. Scott has sold me 2 headshells in the past. Prices are fair and the fit & finish are excellent. Plus Scott is a pleasure to work with. Last one I bought from him is housing a Mark 3+ DRG No Stripe w/ 105pt.

The IVa is a beast of an amp. I always find myself gravitating towards it or my IIC+/++'s when I have an itch to play a Mark. BTW asked Mike about the IVb transitional model. He said there are only 2 IV circuits A & B. The whole transitional model can be chalked up to using leftover...

A 3+ Red Stripe will get you close enough. I own IIC+/++'s in S,D,& H configurations and a 3+ Red Stripe HRG. The difference is in the low mids. The IIC+/++'s seem to breath a little easier (aka IIC+ bounce). The stock III's are a little more stiff and have hairy top ends. The 3+ mod...

Burton Era hands down.
