I just bought a used RX Jr. It is being shipped sometime next week... For all of you that own one, what can I expect. I bought it to pair with a Maz 18. Just wanted another 18ish watt amp to run stereo or to have a different flavor from time to time. Did I make a good decision? Just wanted some feedback from you guys that own one already.

The RxJr is an excellent choice!
It's a little more "scooped" in the mids, but what mids it has are in the higher frequency. It's a brighter amp, but in a good way. It has quite a bit of low end as well. It's also very percussive, probably the most percussive amp I've ever played and definitely Dr. Z's most percussive amp. Volume is pretty close to the MazJr as well as headroom. I think it may get a little dirtier when pushed and the Overdose is engaged.
I never thought I'd like another amp as much as the Stangray..... But I feel this is probably neck and neck with the Ray IMO. Plus it's a little more versatile than a Ray.
You made a great choice...... Let us know how you like it when it arrives.

Try the Maz and Rxjr together. Just did a gig with that pair and it was a ton of fun. The Maz was a 210 and the Rx had an H in it. Then you can kick in the overdose on the rx and the tone bypass on the Maz and watch the sound guy flinch.

I agree with your assessment of the RxJr...but it's not the most percussive amp Doc's ever made. That would be a tie between the "original" Rx and Z Wreck in my opinion. The Jr is pretty close though

I used the RxJr and Maz 18 together at a gig this weekend. Great match....the RxJr felt a little cleaner/brighter and the mids seem more pronounced. It has a sparkle that the Maz 18 doesn't seem to have. This was the first time I made myself use the RxJr for a show. I want to try it next week by itself instead of the Maz. Will be doing some fine tuning with my pedal board this week.
