Hi all!
I have had my Rx for a few years. While it sounded pretty good, it never had that killer sound y'all talk about. I played it through a Mesa wide 1x12 with the Black Shadow. Through an Avatar 2x12 with GB12s. I used the 2 10s I have in my Maz 18. Still, I considered it to be a nice, serviceable backup for my Maz. I even considered selling or trading it. (I DO need a Mazerati!)One day, I played my Ghia thought the Mesa cab and though, "I gotta get a new speaker". So after some deliberation and much reading, I bought a Cannabis Rex, and stuck it in that Mesa cab.
OMG! THIS is what that amp was supposed to sound like! I played my PRS though it. I played My McSoapy through it. I played my Tele through it. Everything I threw at it sounded incredible. Big, loud, full. Bright without harshness. Clean, dirty and full grind all sounded wonderful.
Just thought I would let you guys know!
See ya! -Phil

hey, Phil Do you have the OLD RX? ....I'm assuming you do as you said it was a few years old? Man I'll tell ya I've just done some major speaker swapin and I LOVE WEBBER CERAMIC BLUE DOG/ SILVER BELL!!!! tried the alnico's but I just love the ceramic's!!! THESE made my MAZ 38 sound RIGHT!!! AND before I had to use my Z-best (g12h/ vin 30) with the maz because my open back had too much high... Everything sounded good through the stock z-best..but now I have the webbers in my openback for my maz which frees up the Z-best for the RX!! I also replaced the Vin 30 in the z-best with a ALNICO WEBBER SILVER BELL (left the G12H on the bottom for a 1/2 ceramic punch 1/2 Alnico smooth mid and high) and I didn't think the Z-best could sound better but DANG = the RX through THIS combo of speakers in the Z-best is purty good!!! though I still like the stock version.... anyway... the RX has become a part of my sound....I LOVE it....maybe it's not for everybody.....but I love it......sometimes somthing like the speakers or the tubes (even a preamp tube) could make all the difference in selling or keeping an amp??? go figure I'm glad you found THE sound out of your RX...they do have a their sound....... and your spread'n the word of Z, thats good Jason

Yeah, I wish they had a 10" Rex. I ended up getting some Delta Demons for my Maz combo. We'll see how those work out. I'll post about those under the Maz section. I just couldn't see going $250 for Tubbys, although I wanted to.
I did ask Eminence about a 10" hempcone, but thier guys are at NAMM.
