[user 10300]

hi people, happy new year first of all ~

on both sides of the chassis it is written "XPSSRG"

does anybody here know what exactly these stand for ?

XP = export, right ?

SS could mean Super Sixty (60 watter?)
RG = Reverb and Graphic EQ.

The preamp board should have printed on it either "SP11A", "RP10" or "RP11A". This board was used in the IIC and C+. To test for a C+ you could perform the "Loop Test" per this guide (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+."
