Red Knobs?? 2 John Stokes

Casey4s	Red Knobs?? 2 John Stokes Hi John, I'm sorta new here and I already respect your opinion on many issues. So let me just ask, Why the distain for the red knobbers? I got a Super 112 in a "Horse Trade" a few years ago, in mint condition, still had the hang tags as a matter of fact. It is by no means a "classic", but it dosen't seem all that bad. My pet peeve is that the hang tags say "all tube power and preamp" Well, the reverb is solid state driven, and last time I checked I thought that was part of the preamp. AND I hate PCBs, and this is a real pain in the ass to work on. OK, that's my complaints, why do you dislike them so much? Thanks for your time, Casey4s
