HEY, QUESTION TO ANYONE WHO MAY KNOW, I JUST ORDERED A RX ES AND I GOT THE NEW FOOTSWITCH OPTION.... I WAS WONDERING IF IT STILL HAS A TOGGLE SWITCH ON THE FRONT OF THE AMP TO MANUALLY ENGAGE THE EXPAND OR IS THERE A LIGHT IN IT'S PLACE TO LET YOU KNOW IF THE FOOTSWITCH IS ENGAGED OR WHAT??? I WAS HOPING THE TOGGLE IS STILL THERE CAUSE I HAVE AN OLD RX AND I JUST LEAVE THE EXPAND ON ALL THE TIME.... IF I DECIDE TO LEAVE THE EXPAND ON THE RX ES, I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO PLUG THE FOOTSWITCH IN BUT WANTED THE FOOTSWITCH OPTION JUST IN CASE I DECIDED TO USE IT...I'D HAVE IT? THANKS

THANKS Well I think you can have your cake and eat it too. just get a right angle speaker 1/4 " jack or a Fender style round replica. Solder a small wire from barrel to tip to short the jack. When you insert it will act like a toggle and engage OverDose. DR.Z

Please don't take offense but all capitals is harder to read.
You're a lucky dog to have a Prescription coming! I think the footswitch is a great idea, a fixed boost. I play jump blues and jazz and it would be great to kick that in for the blues stuff. I might have get a Z 2 x 10 cab and start collecting different Z heads. The prescription would be first.

I mostly leave the overdose on and clean up with the guitar volume. Between the guitars 5 and max you'll find many shades of drive, especially with the amp vol at 3:00. For the really clean tones the pedal is handy to turn the overdose off. As much as I loved the RC Booster with my Z28, it really isn't necessary with the RxES.
I've spent many times onstage kneeling and constantly adjusting a boost or OD pedal, very annoying trying to dial in the right level and drive. With the ES overdose on and your guitar starting out on 5 its just a matter of turning the guitar volume until you're there, real simple!

Billy " Please don't take offense but all capitals is harder to read." None taken ;D.....If you read some of my newer replies I have stoped doin that....What can I say... I'm a lazy perfectionist, hense.... little more work to try capitalize correct words.... But you guy's are worth it!! and, refering to the head + cab, that exactly what i'm doin.....couple of cabs (one open back 2x12/ one closed 2x12) and different heads run through them as different needs dictate...... Madison, I use my original RX the same way you do with the overdose on all the time....but with both the original and the RX ES I can leave the orginal on like you described and use the boost (best of both worlds) w/ the RX ES.... can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
