Hey guys,
I am looking for a 1x12 combo for shows where I don't want to lug around a head and a cab. I have a Zinky Blue Velvet (2x el-84, 1x12 approx 25 watts) and I like it very much, but it just doesn't give me enough clean headroom. I play in a loud, all original rock band with 3 vocals, keys, bass, 2 guitars and drums. We get comparisons to Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, Queens of the Stone Age- so this ain't metal or country or roots music- just rock, for your information.
Right now I am considering the Rx ES and the JAZ 20/40 1x12 combos. I play both a Jazzmaster and an SG at gigs, so I need this amp to handle different pickups. And I generally use pedals for distortion (or a 2nd amp- SRZ-65 sometimes) so whatever I get, it has to play well with pedals.
Any help or suggestions would be welcome!
*I should add that I could just get another EZG-50 (in combo 1x12 form) and I am sure that would be great. But I really am wanting something different, if for no other reason, than to add some variety to my collection.*

I have an RxES that I've gigged with and I find it works as well with my Strat as does with my LP. A hollow body sounds great through it as well. It works well with pedals too, so I don't think you'll find any issues there. I had the MV mod done to mine which helped in lower volume situations. I'm playing my Maz 18 more these days and unfortunately I'm having to sell my RxES (head).
