According to the Website the EX is 45 watts and the JR is supposed to be 1/2 power. To me this would be 20 watts.
Anyone chime in here?
Also, any of you guys have a Z-28 to compair volumes to?

Yeah, theres definitely some confusion on this. I believe the Doc has said it's 15 watts, but the web page sure does say "half the power" of the ES, which would be 22.5 watts. There's no way it's 22.5 - I don't think it's as loud as my Maz Jr, so I believe the 15 watt claim.

Actually with the 3db boost on the RxJr into a 1x12 Gold and the Z28 into the same Gold, to me the RxJr sounded slightly louder in a clean way. After a certain level the gain gets in way in comparing. But it's apples and oranges once the tubes start to do it.
I have a db meter. I think there is a scientific way to actually measure them... something about having the same amount of voltage to the speaker then taking a db measurement or doing some math?? If anybody could steer me to do it right and if I have the right meters I'd be happy to run some tests.
Yes, Dr. Z did call it 15 watts.

It's a loud 15 watts and it's that 5Y3 that makes the big difference, brings it a little lower than the Maz Jr's 5AR4 powered loud 18 watts... but that 5Y3 also made it Perrrrrfect. ;D RX ES also uses the 5AR4, so I think here is where the slight volume discrepancy exists between the RX JS and the RX ES...

I pit a 5AR4 in mine and it is certainly in the ball park of Maz Jr and Z28, perhaps louder with OD on and Hi Imput.
Took it up for Millsap to try and his comment was “you could play an outdoor gig with this“.
It is plenty amp for any gig anywhere.

I'm asking because it sound like it would be a nice flip side to the Z-28. Like a instant one tap into super saturation. Basicly setting it maxed out with boost on and master set to match the Z-28
