Just traded my Mesa Roadster combo for a RxJr head and 2X12 cab with Webers (silver/blue) and after a couple weeks I don't miss the Roadster at all. I mean its not even close. The RxJr sounds awesome with my Tele and totally nails the tone I was looking for. Both the cleans and the overdriven tones are unbelievable! Can't get a bad sound out of it. I have no more use for my compressor or overdrive pedal because this amp has way better tone on it own! Now I'm just running a Cmatmods Deeelay for a little slapback with my Teles and it sounds perfect. This is my first post after researching/lurking around this forum. Thanks for all the info you guys have put up here, you did not steer me wrong! Just curious, what overdrive pedals are you guys running with this thing? I was looking at either a Cmatmods Butah, Zendrive or a Timmy. Any experience with these and the Jr? Thanks in advance. It's all about the Z's!

Congrats! These amps sound great with just about any cab, but I'll maintain that the open back 2x12" really matches up well with the Prescription amps. As far as drives, I'm just using a Flying Dragon and AC+ to boost my way into different flavors of overdrive. I keep the Overdose on pretty much all the time; just sounds better to me than with it off. Thinking about adding a Wampler Hot Wired to the board to see if that will play well with the others.

Awesome, Welcome to the land of Z's. as for the overdrive.... OCD, Plexidrive, or Paisley drive..... all great. OCD if on budget. Plexidrive if you can spend a little extra. Paisley drive if you're switching different guitars or want a larger variety of tones. good luck

The Rx is a great amp. So you won't find any argument here.
I've found Z's take any pedal well so it's hard to go wrong.
The Zen was to flat for me. I prefer something with a bit of a mid range hump since the Rx Jr has some of it's mids scooped. So I have a Timmy, OCD, Screw Driver, and a TS9. All sound great, but it comes down to personal preference.
Enjoy the hunt!

Hey, thanks for the input guys. I have a Zendrive on the way so we'll see how that goes.
