All true. The face plate looks right, eg, 'pull deep,' but that serial # would be lowest I've seen for a factory IIC+.
I'm no gut shot expert but it definitely looks different than mine, specifically the empty space over the OT.
If it's legit, the price is about right for a 60 watt w/o reverb.
Owned both, both are great, I sold the Axe and kept the Kemper. Hard to go wrong with either but I definitely love the Kemper. I was just thinking the other day that I should sell my IIC+ because the KPA sounds so good.
What question did the OP need to ask anyway to unravel this charade pre-sale? The ad was a lie.
As if asking a second time if the amp was a Cameron would have yielded a different response; 'well, since you asked... yes, I am trying to scam you.'
I was going to say something snarky about your strong first post to try and lighten the mood, but then I noticed your dick sig. Obviously George kicked sand in your vagina at some point on metroamp.
Good luck George, I hope you can recover your site.
You can't go wrong with either. If you'd prefer to create something from nothing, go AxeFx. If you want to start with an existing tone and work incrementally, go Kemper. The KPA effects set is growing with each release, but the Axe effects are more mature. Axe has the integrated pedal board...
That could be a blue, I've seen blues where the stripe faded to a similar greenish color. The serial # would help identify - exceptions notwithstanding, there are commonly excepted serial number ranges for each stripe.
If you don't like any of the newer Marshalls (YJM, RR, JVM, AFD), wouldn't you say that you just don't like those Marshalls? It's cool, it's your preference; does it have to mean anything more than that?
The only bad amps are the ones that don't work. Everything else is taste. If Marshall is...
Pick one up, you won't be disappointed. You can find them all day long for < $1000, combos included. My red is a combo and has the EVM-12L speaker, which sounds great.
The IIIs are underrated amps, for sure.
Blue has a more aggressive preamp section and a power section modeled on the IIC+; supposed to be the most aggressive of all the stripes.
I love my red stripe, never tried a blue. My red's gain tones are very close to my IIC+.
