Overall what has everyone had the best overall experience with in overdrive pedals with the Prescription ES.I guess it all depends on your style.My particular styles range from country tele pickin to srv style blues riff.I enjoy covering all styles of music and would like to have something on my board to cover them all.I just received an email from Hermida saying i am about 2 weeks away from receiving a Zendrive as i have been on a waiting list since February. Thanks and have fun with the topic guys

Only 6 months for a pedal? What a lightweight! I've been waiting exactly 2 years for a King of Tone pedal that's shipping today. I'm kidding of course. I would think the Zendrive would be great. I've never heard one in person so I really shouldn't say anything!

I really like the MJM Blues Devil, Xotic BB Preamp and RC booster. I also remember liking the Analogman modded Maxon OD-9/808/Silver/KWS with the RXES which I used before getting the MJM Blues Devil. I really like the Diamond Fireburst with the Maz38SR. I wish I had a chance to try it with the RXES.

After using the Zendrive with ES fsince almost it's conception, I still believe it is BY FAR the best drive box for this amp. I keep telling people who ask-YES it really does emulate Robben Fords Du** tone to almost an almost scary duplication. One tip though . Magic happens in the voice circuit and keep the unit volume up to 12 o'clock high. It makes the amp seem like it's breathing...alive. And Alfonso is an absolutly brilliant guy with the kindest heart in the business. I'll never give this box up.

The best pedal you can use with a RxES is the Overdose footswitch that comes on the newer models. PDW

I got my King of Tone and it sounds great in my Stang Ray so it would do the same for an RXES.

I am using a Maxon 808 with mine. Great OD.. low and high gain. I do want to find something else got a higher gain tone tough.

Yup, definitely a Zendrive if you need a pedal. I've been running without it and using an airbrake to tame - but would go back to the Zendrive in a heartbeat if I ever got tired of the natural OD from the RxES.
For fuzz, I like the stuff from tonefactor - a Hellbilly and Huckleberry. I know you didn't ask, but thought I'd throw those in the ring too.

I used a Maxon 820 w/ an Orange ad30 for a while, and really liked it.. I would love to try one with my RX now.

I keep wanting to try some pedals with my RxES, but I just can't get away from cranking the amp up to noon or slightly higher and hitting the overdose. That natural drive is just heaven to my ears. Very crunchy, but clean at the same time. It's really hard to describe.

I wouldn't say it's the best but it's probably the best for the money....Digitech Bad Monkey. I'm really cheap when it comes to pedals but it does everything I need or want it to. Just make sure it has a good battery or use an adapter.

I'm new here, but I'll tell you that I absolutely love the BB Preamp. You can get a nice variety of OD from it. It's a great pedal. I'd go for a Zendrive, but patience is an issue, I guess.

Ok, so I've had the Zendrive for about a month now and am using it on a recording project as I type this- It is more than worth the wait! Amazing tone!

My KOT V-4 and a Full-of-it OCD both do real good on my RX Jr...The OCD is like an 808 w/ more bass and the KOT is probably like the Zen Drive UNREAL!!!! I used then both together with the ODs on low...KILLLER RRRRXXXXHJJJJrrrr... is a GREAT amp

I'm using a Zendrive 2 with my RxES through a 4x12 vintage greenbacks cabinet. I been trying to work in my Xotic AC boost in there as well but it sounds better on the Maz SR.

Hmmm... just got the ZD2 here but haven't tried it with my RXES yet. That sounds like a delicious combination.

Zendrive does sound good with the RX, as does a Visual Sound J&H but this amp doesn't need it, attenuator and OD switch will get you there with flying colors...

I haven't picked up an Airbrake yet so I have to use a pedal with mine. I have an OCD and a Fulldrive II Anniversary edition (MosFET) but I don't particularly like either one of them with this amp. I accidentally turned them both on at the same time, and after adjusting down the gain on each one...it sounds great to me.
I really can't wait to grab an Airbrake and try going direct to the amp.

Klon,Tim,and a Stampede SOV-1 Overdrive are all the OD pedals of mine; With Klon to RXES, easy to got jazz-mod 、Blues and keep the middle strong; Tim is just fits Z-AMP naturally,it‘s perfectly sounds perform county and chicken style; When my sov-1 through the RXES,I just believe : that’s the Dumble-tone On the whole , DR.Z RXES seems a easy-going AMP with OD-pedals ( sorry for the grammar ,Eng not my mother tongue ,still In practice )

Another whole hearted vote for a zendrive with the RX. Best OD i've ever used. I must have been clean living when i ordered mine last year. It shipped at 10:00am the morning i ordered it and i was all settled in for a wait which would have been worth every month.
