IIC+ Coliseum GUT SHOTS!!!

[Octavarius]

Ok, I got some gut shots of a IIC+ Coliseum... not mine. Just thought you might like to see them. By the way, what's up with the third jack underneath the chassis?

 

[Boogiebabies]

That's not a gut shot, it's a teaser.

Looks like that tranny would barely fit in a head.

That's not a gut shot, it's a teaser.

True enough :lol:

 

[Mrmot]

Holy ****, those trannies are HUGE

 

[Russ]

I bet it weighs a metric ton.

 

[Elpelotero]

i know it's been said, but THAT'S A HUGE B*TCH!!!

Why does it have six preamptubes. My markIII coliseum only has five. Or am I seeing something there isn't

Does your mark 3 have reverb?

 

[MKIII]

....and who said size doesn't matter? :roll:

I just bought this sucker -it kills animals..not just small ones-guy in Birmingham was reportedly using it as his bass head-Joey B is coming by today to inspect 8)

 

[Octavarius]

You lucky *******...

 

[lesterpaul]

yes..but must thank you for posting those pics...joey was able to decipher that the carpet in your posted pics matched those in the auction..so we knew that was the amp-no one bid and I live 70 miles away-took a chance,but those pics helped solidify my thoughts on it-he told me he was sorry he did not post better pics...I said "NO!you did GREAT..best auction I had ever seen!!"there is one more of these in the Birmingham,Al area-the guy wanted to buy this one and use BOTH in his rig....ouch

 

[Octavarius]

Glad I was able to help.

Yeah, Joey actually contacted me about those pics, and I confirmed the + mark and Mike B.'s initials as well as the serial number. (I asked the seller a few weeks ago about some additional pics)

Congrats, man!

 

[lesterpaul]

thanks_I was getting ready to do battle for the head on ebay right now,and this was sort of a last minute deal-I certainy thought it was going to go for more than I could afford,so I turned my attention to the other one-when Joey and gts informed me about this one,and Phyrexia told he he had seen it,I figured why not?thanks,my Board brothers!!

Yes it has reverb and I think it's simul class too

Hmmm, four 6l6's (outer slots, 1 & 2 and 5 & 6) and two el34's (inner slots: 3 & 4), normally.

this amp has the limit circuit-

 

[timv]

the extra preamp tube has to do with the driver/phase inverter circuit they used in the older coliseums. The mark 2 coliseums used a 6FQ7 aka 6CG7 as the phase inverter and there is an extra 12AT7 (mine has a 12AX7) as a buffer tube before it. I think this was supposed to provide more drive for the power tubes for more clean power. The mark 3 coliseums have a typical single tube phase inverter driver set up so one less tube. Here is a pretty good write up of it http://homepage.mac.com/mesaboogie/IIBHead.html
