which stripe mark III sounds the closest to a c+?

[Boogiewan Kenobi]

The Red is really the closest practically speaking to a IIC+

As mentioned, the subtle wiring specifics of the Green make it "electronically" akin to the IIC+.

Having had them all, I would say the Red wins.

So, if the red stripe is the closest and since you have all these amps, what differences in tone do you notice between the red stripe and the IIC+?

By the way, I love your site.
