I just went through a few speakers for my Rx Jr. From a greenback to a blue then I found the perfect speaker. The GOLD.
i had a cab with 2 golds in it, and honestly I didn't care for it much but one gold alone is great. Not so harsh and hard hitting but still direct at the same time. Much more response to what I'm giving it. To kill a little bit of the in your face, I use a slap back at about 75% of the actual amp volume and it works great.
I had a hard time liking this amp comparing it to a stangray, but it found the love back.
I run into the hi input settings are set as: MV wide open volume 11:00 treb. 10:00 middle 2:30 bass 12:00

Thanks for the settings! Will try this with my Celestion Blue, don't have a Gold. Can you describe the differences between the Blue and the Gold with the Jr? I always think about getting a Gold.
BTW, love the Jr with a Greenback.

IME you have to be careful with the bass knob when using a blue. It can flub out on you depending on bass settings and volume. Not an issue with the gold, except the gold really likes to be pushed to get the best tone out of it. However, lower volumes are less of an issue if it is broken in good.

Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Proboards I agree. The blue and gold are very similar. They don't break up as easily as the greenback. They are substantially louder. They get tighter as you go from green to blue to gold. I feel like the gold gives you a more percussive and tighter response while capturing the undertones at the same time which I don't think the green does. If you want to rock, the greenback is great...but I like to keep my tone relatively clean with a bit of hair on it and the greenback doesn't do it. Like Jess said, the blue can get flabby if the bass knob is not in check and controlled properly. The gold stays tight and bold no matter how hard or easy it's pushed. I noticed a huge difference from originally having a blue, then went to the greenback and got the difference there. But from greenback to gold is a huge difference.

I've been through several speakers as well with my 1x12 combo. I have a few WGS models on the way to try next. So far the greenback has been one of my favorites - if nothing else, for it's lower efficiency that helps tame volume a little. However, for band rehearsal last night I put a G12H30 in that I've had for several years, and I must say I was really surprised. It sounded much better than I remember it sounding in the RX Jr when I tried it before. It's possible that the speaker is broken in more now, so it has smoothed out quite a bit. I had written this speaker off in the past, but not any more... I think it just needs time to break in and get to that sweet spot.
