I am seriously close to purchasing a Rx Jr combo after my Galaxie quest didn't work out and have a few ?'s after reading all the 'Rx vs. Maz' threads on the forum and after listening to Steve's great clips.
#1. How does the higher gain structure (high preamp volume with master to suit) of the Rx Jr compare to my Maz Jr NR? Is it Marshall tight and focused like the Maz or is it looser and flubbier? It's so hard to tell from the clips. I use a Barber LTD or Flying Dragon to boost the Maz's preamp to get more gain. Would the Rx Jr just be a redundance of what I'm doing to the Maz, just without having to use an OD pedal? Also, for you Maz owners, you know how if you crank the Maz preamp past 3:00 all the bass rolls off and it gets super trebly.... does the Rx do that also?
#2 I have read repeatedly that the Master Volume control of the Rx is far superior to the Maz's MV. Can someone explain that to me? What makes it superior? Clarity? Finite adjustment? Or? The MV is very important to since I'm always havling to deal with stagevolume controlfreak sound men. Sometimes I have to have my Maz MV barely on to appease those guys even when attenuated.
#3 Is the Rx overly bright like some say? Is it tamable? The Maz cut knob is useful on taming the icepicks. Oh, and I assume the RX Jr chassis will drop right into a Maz Jr combo cab and viceversa?
#4 I guess my biggest ? is if the Rx is really that different from the Maz and would be worth replacing the Maz if a guy could only own one.
Thanks in advance to all you Z-men on all your helpful advice!! You guys are always helpful and objective!!
