Hey Guys I picked up the soon to be mine RXjr rig today from the local shop (they lent it to me for the week, and I'm pretty sure it ain't going back) . The all Red Head with matching 2X12 Celestion Blue loaded Cab with Tan Grill sounds as good as it looks (pic's to follow soon). I can't believe how good it sounds by itself and then I hooked up the Maz Jr and played them together, Oh Boy unreal! I know I haven't found the best settings yet but I am having a blast putting it through it's paces, I spent about 5 hours with her all alone today, can't wait to dial her in fully. Too much fun!

Just a suggestion...... If it doesn't tick anyone off, dime the master and let the power tubes do their thing (if you haven't already). That'll get it really singing. With a set of blues, you definately won't be giving it back!! I'd imagine the maz jr is liking the blues too. Congrats.

Yeah, if your playing a tele or other low output pickup you will find diming the master and rolling up the volume untill you get the desired grit quite nice. Also do so without the boost on. You'll want that for leads. I drove mine over to a guitar tech friend of mine so he could try it out before he had surgery on his hand. He's a clean twangy blues type of guy. Let's just say he was very surprised and I think it's been a while sense he grabbed a note by the balls through amp that was just wide open. The smile on his face was a dead give away. Even the lady that runs the shop had to come over and check it out proclaiming amazing tone from clean to scream. It was a 25 min demo. Yeah, it's a nice amp. DAVE

what they said... with the master dimmed or off this amp really sings and really opens up. it's pretty safe to say that that amp isn't going back to the dealer

Beautiful lookin' gear there! I have "extension cab" envy... ;D The two of them (MAZ Jr and RXJr) run simultaneously in stereo sound absolutely amazing.

Thanks, I agree totally, the two compliment each other very nicely, and the variety of extension cabs is very cool as each changes the sound of the amp in their own way. The Rx sounds really good with the Z-Best (It's fully broken in) not that it don't sound good with the 2X12 open back but I can't wait for the Blues to open up when they finally get broken in.

I will most likely need to get a Ghia or StangRay head to sit on the empty cabinet to fully complete the look, I sure someone will agree with me on that one.

You done better than good. That's a great lookin' set up...
With the C-Blues and the Z-Best you'll get all sorts of personalities outta that head.
(nice floor too!)

(nice floor too!)Thanks Bluz, I have a single 12 Avatar in Blond that's not in the pic (didn't seem right with all the reds) that I can use to get some additional sounds with as well. I may just have to trade that cab in for a Red Convertible. BTW Thanks for the compliment on the floor, I installed that myself, I did 3 other rooms the same weekend so it matches throughout.
