Friday night I played out and decided NOT to use the AirBrake. That was the right decision. My LP in the low input, OverDose OFF, Master Dimed, volume 2:30. All I needed for drive was my KOT. I also used a little chorus here and there. I used my volume controls for cleaning it up. The other guitarist had a Tone Master. We were loud but not obnoxious... toneful loud is what I should say. While he had more headroom than I did, I had no problem keeping up with him and my tone, all around was great if may say so myself. People were on their feet the entire night even though it was a light crowd, but it was some serious fun!! I played through my 1x12 front Thiele ported cab with a Weber AlNiCo Silver Bell 30 watt. I'll just say that new speaker is now broken in!! People just couldn't believe it's a 15 watt amp! Next time I'll do the same but use the OverDose and maybe the hi input. New Years eve we're at a biker bar...

I'm definitely getting one of those Boogafunks... haven't decided if I'm going ported or open-back. Biker bar? Be prepared to use your guitar as a weapon if neccesary...

The Jr. never fails. I love it when I can get that puppy cranked. So the Silver Bell worked for you? Do you have a blue as well? That's what I want to hear with the Jr.

I have a 50 Watt AlNiCo Blue and 50 watt AlNiCo Silver and a 30 watt AlNiCo Silver. Out of those three the 30 watt gives me the mids and high end I like with a Les Paul. All of them give me plenty of bottom. Not that the 50 watt ones weren't good. I just preferred the sound of the 30 watt. That may change someday!!

I'm trying to decide weather to go 30 or 50 watt Blue. Thanks for the input.

I think I'm going to go 50W Blue, simply because it's the closest to a Gold (which, if I had the $$ for, I'd probably get.) My big decision is whether to put it in a ported cab or open-back. I'm leaning towards open-back... the 50W puts out alot of bass, and so does the RxJR, and a theile-ported cab just ADDS even more, and alnicos are seemingly more popular in open-back cabs, so I'll probably go Weber 50W Blue Alnico & open-back 1x12.

Doc says the Rx Jr is too loud for Cel Blue and not powerful enough to push the Gold to where it needs to be. So I figured a 30 watt Weber Blue would do the trick. I hate to spend a ton on a Gold and not get my money's worth out of it. I'm sure it sounds good...at least that's what other on the board are saying, but I'm leaning toward the Weber.

Thanks for helping me make up my mind! I was going to get a gold to pair up with my G12H65 in my open back cab. I will try the Weber Blues...Lower cost option

Hey Jammergreg here again; They called off the gig 12/28. I just got home from a New Years Gig... The Rx Jr was on (Master @ 9) volume @ 3....The amp sounded killer W/ a 59 Burst RE... It sang and sustained very well...The Band was REAL LLLOUDDD!!! The 15 watter hung in there With a 1X12 Z Converable cab (g12-h30)..The other guy was using a 50 watt Mashall With a 4x12 cab...The Z Best would have been perfect for that loud of a GIG.

I got to gig Mine last night , my 69 fiesta red tele sounded amazing through this amp into a 25watt 8ohm greenback. I also beefed it up a bit with both a RC and a AC boost. The master volume at noon , bass 8,mids 10,treble 2,volume 5 , overdose on, in Hi input
