Ebay alert: possible unsung IIC+

[scottieL]

Looks to me like there's a + above that cord... but then again, pic is low quality.

Thoughts???

I emailed about it. The serial number is in the 121xx range. It's not a C+ but a great looking amp. Not sure how I would price this one.
It's got the export tranny, 60/100, no reverb or EQ. It does come with a nice flight case.
What would be a fair price for this one?

It could be an upgrade. The loop test would tell for sure. Per the C+ Guide For Dummies: (http://forum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=18184&highlight=mark+iic)

The Loop Test –
1) Plug your guitar into the Effects Return jack
2) Switch to lead mode
3) Turn the Lead Drive and Gain controls with a note ringing.
4) If they have NO effect on the volume and sound you have a+.

Rough price ranges: If it's a IIC, I'd say $900 to $1,200 because of the flight case. If it's an uprade, I'd say $1,800 to $2k. Export models tend to go for more due to overseas bidders, so you coud add a few hundred to these amounts.

Also, the seller lists the 60/100 feature, but the photo of the back looks like the switch hole is plugged up (i.e. no 60/100 feature). :?:

Mesa puts that on the front panel on non-eq versions and the rear with EQ,

No EQ it's a one trick pony, it's all ways better to get EQ more is huge .

A friend of mine has one just like this and it sounds great. He's used it on his last CD. Check it out at http://www.adastraband.com. His is a rack mount and he's owned it since it was new. The amp sounds fantastic in person. His doesn't have EQ or Simul. People get wrapped up in the hype. If it sounds good, it is good.

I saw this one too. I mailed him and he said it did not pass the fx loop test.
