![]() addition jacks for: footswitch (controls gain boost and tremolo), earphones, line-out, ext speaker Tremolo: very cool feature! vintage style, with adjustable speed and depth Reverb: adjustable, with good depth and echo, adds nice sparkle to clean tones Distortion tones: very warm and crunchy, close to natural overdriven tube amp This is the 'new and improved' 15 watt VOX Pathfinder now with REVERB! Was looking for small solid-state practice amp with vintage VOX Brit-Rock style tones. Purchased new in-store at local Seattle WA Guitar Center. If you like classic rock rhythm or lead, and don't have much much money to spend, this is definitely the one to get! I do like the way it looks and how it's not heavy so it's easy to carry. I have not used it long enough to rate its long-term reliability, but I do not expect any problems. ![]() Sometimes the sound contains a little too much treble but you can fix that by using your guitar tone buttons I tried it once and it reall gives an extreme boost to the sound. I'm planning to buy a VOX VFS2 dual footswitch whenever If find it somewhere for a suitable price. The control panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. Tremolo effect is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. With 15 watts of output power, it is loud enough for practice and yet the humming noise seems low enough compared to other payable amps. I love playing it loud with a small dose of disortion. This amplifier is incredibly nice for the price. I started out playing acoustic guitar, but I wanted to be able to do more so I purchased an electric guitar, to practise on it I bought myself a VOX Pathfinder 15R amplifier for +/-275 go buy one new at a music store that has a no worries return policy and if you don't like it take back. If you read all of the above there is no need for a summary. great constuction,quality parts,looks good,sounds good,I can't see any flaws. I WOULD LIKE AN AMP BUILT LIKE THIS BUT A LITTLE LARGER AND HIGHER WATTAGE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS I WISH VOX OFFERED MORE AMPS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE A BREAD AND BUTTER APPROACH INSTEAD OF THE HIGHER END AMPS THAT HAVE ALL THE BUILT IN EFFECTS AND DIGITAL GARBAGE. I have done alot of experementing with this amp and it has not failed me. If you have the footswitch and you set the amp as clean and step on the footswitch for the boost it is like changing channels and it almost seems the amp is a 2 channel even though its only one. I read alot of reveiws and saw people complaining about there only being one channel. Its practical,powerful,versitile,and sounds great. it is louder than what they rated it I assure you. I put it up against a 30 watt, 50watt,and a 100 watt combo and could still hear myself. I still can't belive it is only a 15 watt unit. I mike it when I play live shows,it's great for bedroom practice,and it is made for direct recording.I love the gain on this amp,it almost sounds like a tube amp.I was going to invest in a half stack or 2-12 combo but after throwing it in the mix those where not needed. I bought the amp brand new at a sam ash music store in ohio for $119.00Įverything! The stand alone best amp for the money. If I'm ever out and I see one, I'm going to buy a second one just in case. If that offends your religious sensibilities, too bad. Small hands.īuy this Amp! Buy it even if you don't need it. I guess that wasn't a problem with the child labor that put it together in China. Somehow I managed to pull the speaker wire loose and it is so short and the amp is so small it is a bitch to get it connected back. While it is more than powerful enough for what it was designed for, it sounds so damned good that I've started thinking about how to use it as my main amp. ![]() Back off a little more and you've got a great rhythm tone. Then just back off a little for a more subtle lead tone. Put your volume on 10 and get a great lead tone. It is very responsive to your guitar's volume controls. It sounds great with Les Pauls and Strats, Tele's and ES-335s. I saw this used for $99, tried it out and was really impressed. I was looking for a little practice amp that I could carry around. I've been playing Blues/Rock guitar for 30 years and I've never heard such a great sound from such a small amp. ![]() This is no frills little practice amp with an unbelievably good tone. ![]()
