Well, it used to be mine. I bought it from Daddy's Junky Music's "Rock Auction" in the mid '90s for $400, and sold it on eBay about six years ago (I think I got about $800 for it).

Apparently the asking price has gone up!

It really is a killer head, the best (and loudest) clean tone I've heard. It's Simulclass (should have EL34s in the inner two sockets), graphic, no reverb. I added the R2 master.

.... if I may ask (as I might be interested). the seller says the R2 volume was added by Mesa Boogie. you say that you added it. which is correct ? also how come it has a 22xxx and not a Kxxx serial if its a coliseum ?

I added it.

Apparently the KXXX serials only pertain to the Mark II amps.

I also added 1-ohm precision resistors on the cathodes of the power tube sockets so bias could be easily measured.

so why did you sell it?
