Got a coin handy?

I'd say it's a toss-up either way.

The Rockpro uses a 12AX7 tube at stage one for both gain and saturation while the Stage 112 uses Fender's proprietary "Dyna-Touch" technology to accomplish the same task. Both sound pretty good (I own a Stage 100 DSP, a not-too-distant relative of the basic Stage 112 platform).

Assuming identical prices, buy the one that has the least cosmetic wear-and-tear.

I never concealed, obfuscated, or camouflaged that fact.

Well as long as you didn't conceal, obfuscate, or camouflage that fact, I guess the Luddite Society has accepted you as you are! :D

Have a good evening.

SS amps. A bit like sex. Everybody seems to do it in the in the privacy of their boudoirs, but not many admit to it. Clould it be SS amps are sexy?

Ciao,
Johnny.

there is a difference between a boudoir and an outhouse. some play in a boudoir, looks like some prefer playing in an outhouse. to each his own.

Is that what I said? I thought I was saying that your analogy was weak and not well thought-out (for example, most men don't keep their sexual exploits a secret but brag about them) and that your endless defense of solid state circuits is getting stretched kind of thin, but I guess I was actually making some kind of statement about my own musicianship. Man, I need to learn to write better.

Or you could learn to lighten up, Francis.
