It's a Sorado which according to http://www.richbriere.com/Sunn_Shack_2.htm is basically a 200s. It says your Spectrum II is more like a 100s. They are both really similar but I think the Sorado was more for bass and the Spectrum II was more for guitar.

More Sunn love! 80s Sunn Enforcer and 70s Sunn 4x12. Brings the fuzzed out doom without any pedals! Orange Rockerverb 100 and PPC412. Twins of Evil. Also, my Sunn Beta Lead 2x12 combo for home jamming! Loudest bedroom amp on the planet! I love my amps!

The Sunn amps all sound different - we have several different eras represented here. My Enforcer is super gnarly sounding, similar to a Matamp with a natural fuzz tone. Sounds nothing like they advertised it be, thus why in 1984 they were such failures - nobody wanted that tone in those days! Was supposed to have one channel that sounded like a Marshall JCM and the other like a Fender Twin and accomplishes neither very well. It sounds more like a Matamp GTO. They made less than 150 of them over a 4 year period and believe me, I want another! Here is kind of a poor representation of the tone - we were testing an iphone video and got a few seconds of random crap playing. Guitar is out of tune as hell and the volume is way down, needs that volume up around 7 to really cook those tubes. NO pedals here and tuned to drop C.
Its really bassy. My Orange is really dark but has a lot more mids and is a bit more modern sounding, although I do get killer fuzzed out tone at about 8!

My Spectrum II had amazing clean tones up to about noon where it starts getting more and more aggressive baking tube breakup up to about 3 o'clock. I'm scared to push it further.
Spectrum II has 2 KT88 power tubes and puts out about 50 watts.

I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.
Nice mics! I use a v1 CAD E-100 on bass cabs with great success.

My Coliseum 880 is a raging wooly beast, and yet, I often forget it's solid state. The distortion switch enters it into trashy hardcore punk territory even when played through 15"s.
Basically, there's a different Sunn for every kind of player. Even you, Tuffteef!
