Does anyome else have this same combo amp?

I've owned 6 IIC+ and 7 III, all the options, and I will say that the 60s are my favorite to play. They are pissed off!

I have a 60W Red Stripe Export non reverb non GEQ incoming. Plan is to put an old Boss 10 Band GEQ in the loop.

My main amp is a June 84 60W IIC+ SRG- my daily player and favorite amp ever. Also had a 3/85 DRGX, They both went to Mesa for service by MB a some years back. The 60W, gigged its whole life, had only one pot and one cap replaced. A special amp. I hardly play Metallica but thought they both did that well, with the 60W calling that up instantly, and the DRGX not as easy. Made me think Metallica doesn't use export trannies, but I've since just come to understand that tone is more individual Mark amp-dependent than model/spec-dependent. I think there was enough variation between individual amps to make the whole run of Marks a box of chocolates. If you find a good one, keep it, and don't let go. No matter what the names of it is, or what the net thinks of that name.
