Just got an email saying that my RxES head and open back 1x12 cab loaded with a Gold is in. The bad thing is I won't be able to go pick it up until tomorrow evening. It's gonna be a long night tonight. I'll post a review when I get some time on it.

I'll give it a workout over the weekend and post the review Monday. I know what you mean Steve, while I liked the idea of running the head with a 2x12 cab, I just couldn't get that 1x12 with a Gold out of my mind. I think since this amp is on the loud side, the 1x12 will help me keep the volume a little more balanced with my StangRay's volume, but still provide plenty of kick when needed. I'll let you know how it goes.

You'll be surprised how loud one twelve can really be...

Well, I picked the amp up last night. Beautiful setup with the 1x12 cab. Very easy to carry around. Unfortunately I didn't get home in time to try it out, so hopefully tonight after the family thing for Easter I'll get to hook her up and give her a test drive. The little 1x12 is an awsome looking cab and very easy to transport. Now the real test is to fire up the amps and give them all a spin running through it. I'll keep you posted.

Well, I got to open it up a little more yesterday, and I think I'm gonna need an airbrake! This thing is loud! I really wasn't able to use the overdose much. but I did get the volume up with OD off and this thing sounds like it's really capable of rocking out. Much more gain than I was expecting. It's a really cool sound. What people said about the clean was dead on, just as great as the StangRay, just different. I think overall the StangRay clean is a little fatter, but the RxES has a big jump on the driven sounds. The little 1x12 cab with a C-Gold sounds perfect with this amp. Lots of clarity and chime, but still a great thumping low end that I wasn't expecting out of such a small cab. I'm very pleased with this setup. Now to work on getting an airbrake so I can use the OD.
