So i was listening to the Doctor DVD, and I heard Brad Paisley's part. When he plays that prescription his tone is so dark and just plain awesome. And looking at his knobs they are all above 6. My question for you guys is, how much of that tone do you think is the Z cab? I know they give more bass response because of that port, and can knock some of that mid down with the shelf. What do you all think?

The Rx Jr. has lots of percussive punch. I find that I keep the bass down pretty low when at louder volumes. I'm not saying that it's a dark amp by any means as it can be bright and very chimey too.... but the Z cabs are special and the speaker selection are most definitely a huge part of the equation. It took me a bit to figure out the tone stack and the mids/highs, but it easily dial in with any speaker I've tried.
The Rx Jr. is a very versatile amp and is good for all types of playing and music. The OverDose is something else too!

Okay here's another question then. I'm playing an Avatar cab with 2 g12h30s in it. If I were to cut off the bottom front of the wood where the speakers are mounted to it, to create a port similar to the port on the Z best, would that make a difference in Bass response. I notice when I turn my amp louder I get more treble but the bass doesn't seem to keep up.

You should read up on Theile Ported Speaker Cabinets. The front port is the "OPEN" part of the cab and the back is sealed. The port size, cabinet dimensions, shelf and speaker selection are what tune the cabinet. So if you decide to port a cab you could ruin it. There are parameters to cabinet design and Theile Ported Cabinet Designs.
