Thanks Genjokoan, I definitely have gone too hard too soon. Just trying to impress but I am one sore boy. Funny thing is, all day today on the jackhammer, I couldn't get Mark Knoppler outta my head. "Ya play the guitar on the MTV, oh THAT ain't workin" ;D Just finished...time to grab a two hour nap and off to my Fri night gig. This better be one fine amp! ;D That reminds me of a not so old tune by another great George..........Thorogood "Get a haircut and get a real job" ;D Bollocks is what I say,there's got to be an easier way to get those "Z" $$$$

Trust me James, You'll dig it If you don't have a cab with blues, well I suggest you start a fund for that as well RxJr excels with 2x blues IMHO. Curt

Wow, these are going fast... So Doc, are you glad you decided to go ahead and make this one?!
I'm glad Eric talked Doc into making it... between that and it getting some positive feedback at Z-fest musta did the trick.
ALOT of good new amps there though, just amazing... I see pictures now and I'm starting to wonder... did that REALLY HAPPEN?? I think it MUST have happened... or Maybe Me n' Shannon just had the same dream? ;D

Don't know if this is possible I dont posess much knowledge in amp design, but what would make this amp even more perfect if there was a switch on the back that brought her down to 5 watts.

It's got a master volume. If Doc puts it on an amp I guarantee it'll sound just as good as a switch or an Air Brake.

Post by aj1169 on Jul 16, 2007 2:16:20 GMT -7
I asked this same question and from what I understand the 1x12 Blue might not be enough to handle the Jr.

If it were ME, in a 1x12 I'd go with the Gold. And after I pay off my RxJr, that's probably what I'll do: replace my Red Fang with a Gold...
FWIW, if I had a 2x12 I was filling, Id go with 1 Weber Blue & 1 Weber Silver...

FWIW, if I had a 2x12 I was filling, Id go with 1 Weber Blue & 1 Weber Silver... I talked to Eric about using 1 gold, but he said with the Jr. you won't be able to push it hard enough to get what you need out of it. I'll probably go with a G12H for a bit and then replace it with a Weber Silver Bell some where down the road.

I'll probably go with a G12H for a bit and then replace it with a Weber Silver Bell some where down the road. Yeah, that's what he told me too, but I'm not sure I'm a big fan of speaker breakup anyway... currently, I'm using a 30W Red Fang in my 30W Genz Benz Black Pearl, and at home volumes I'm probably not getting any speaker breakup, but it sounds great. FWIW, if you get a Weber, have Ted break it in for you- those things take a notoriously long time to mellow because they are so over-built. I have a Silver 10 in one of my smaller tube amps, and it's a great speaker.

Great advice ruger9. I didn't think about the break in. I wonder what Doc what charge to just put a Weber in instead of a Celestion. Hmmm, I'll have to ask Brent.

Yes! The Jr. has it's own board. Just not open for business. What a tease;)

Absolutely!
I've got dibs on JGleaton being the first post! I still think this amp is winning my second amp race. Very tight though and any number of amps could get over the line! ;D
Its RX Jr by a head, followed closely by Mazerati GT growling up alongside, with Carman Ghia chiming in not far behind...but look out, 6545 is screaming up the outside!

No doubt it will be JG that makes the post. No way I'd bet against that. Sounds like you have a tough decision to make. I'm all for the Jr.

That makes two of us 95strat . To be honest Doc, I have about half already paid to Willcutts. Just hoping to have enough for the new 1x12 convertible as well. I wish I could skip August altogether so I could get my Z! I should say FIRST Z! Come on September.

I'm actually considering it! Hey Z-Festers, Lets talk overdrive. I know the Ghia posesses a lovely clean tone accordng to everyone with one, and I've heard enough about the RXES having the best clean tone people had ever heard, so I imagine Jr will be very good as well. How does the "overdose" RXES jr compare to a cranked up Ghia? Could someone compare the overdrive of both amps for me? And while we are on the subject of overdrive can nobody mention the Mazerati GT please! ;D

I got my 13 year old niece started on guitar a little over 18 months ago and she really loves it and has taken off with it in leaps and bounds. I kitted her up with a USA hardtail strat from the 90's with a allparts neck that my buddy finished in nitro for her and bought her a little Orange 5 watt practice amp go with it. It hasn't taken her long too form a high school band and to her parents amusement is now claiming that the little Orange just can't be heard over the drum kit and bass. I knew this was inevitable, so as the good uncle I figure I will be shelling out very soon for her first "REAL" amp. I considered getting her an Orange tinny terror which are 15 watts and a tube design but then thought it would be way better to go with either a Maz Jr or RXES Jr. She is a great little kid and loves all the modern stuff like Foo Fighters and Good Charlotte etc etc.
What are going to be the main differences between the RXES Jr and the already in production Maz Jr and how much will a 1x12 combo retail at?
Standby, we just might have one of the youngest members coming to the forum early next year.
