All user reviews for the Vox Pathfinder 15R

15W tube amp with a built-in tremolo and reverb, line out & headphone output. Lightweight and very compact + look fabulous

USE

Very easy to use, so it is a vox sound is working from a gain, volume and treble / bass EQ. The boost is handy to have fatter sounds ...

SOUNDS

Perfect for clear and crunch sound. No more but it suits me very well. Grain very particular and personal. It's Vox no doubt ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

Unbeatable value for money. Being fond of tube amps this one should not be ashamed! For me it is the only amp quality in this range. Beside my mesa boogie and my fender deluxe he managed to find his place! (For Crunches including tremolos)

15 watts, transistors ... ??? but it is ti o they are the lights ??
complte connection, line in, headphone, hp supplmentaire (which mutates the principal)
reverb and tremolo
bass and treble

USE

One branch rings. ultra simple.

SONORITS

Ms. question: but where is it ti the lamps ??
It sounds like there are in it !! ?? But no, it is a transistor 140 euros.
Well you're going to do with the stage of France. But this price, what a sound! I still can not believe.
for blues or light rock or lightweight crunch is royal !!!
With a Strat and a Les Paul Pfffffffffiooouuuu same !!!

NOTICE GLOBAL

It is beautiful, cheap, and its just amazing. But courses, buy I tell you ...

15W transistor amp.
Gain settings, volume boost, bass, treble (no medium), reverb, tremolo.
Headphone outputs, line out, speaker, footswitch (purchase separately).
No effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration. Its quite correct. Very nice, even.
The boost is really a boost, not a 2nd channel: by activating it, so there was a big increase in volume not necessarily very practical.
More superficially vintage look very nice, if the decorative side account for you. My sis who does not play guitar was even tempted by the idea of ​​buying one ...

SOUNDS

Actually, my opinion joined most of those who have already been written.
I use a Squier Telecaster (Classic Vibe) and a Washburn HB36 (type ES-335), rather to clear or crunch sounds, but I add a Tubescreamer.
I do not play big distorted sounds, but I'm not sure that the amp is ideal for this (I think that's his weak point).
Used to play blues, rock, soul, funk and jazz. If pop is connected, I think it works well too. For the big metal hand ...
Initially, I was looking for a small amp with very few powerful lamps to play with me. Unfortunately, I did not find anything satisfactory. I left the Fender Champion 600, I finally found very disappointing. The seller suggested me the Pathfinder. 10W release was not bad, but I took the 15W which has a tremolo and more.
I'm very happy, recognizing its limits: I expect to get better, ie a small tube amp with a good clean sound for jazz and soul, a warm side to play the blues and ride slowly in the saturation to the hottest rock. Not found ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use my home for four years, I am very satisfied. While waiting to find a small tube amp that really suits me. I wanted a very simple amp, and I hate all the stuff modeling. I think it may very well do the trick for a small concert, provided that you do not have to play in a big room or high volume (if your drummer is a psychopath hitter, it may be very limited ).
What I like least: no medium setting, boost not very practical.
Excellent value - price, and I would say this is a great amp for beginners or for someone not wanting to put too expensive in an amp. I have not found better in this category.
Before paying expensive a tube amp that will not necessarily be the case or does not suit your style, consider this Pathfinder time to find the amp favorite. And even in this case, nothing prevents you to keep both.

Transistor 15 watt amp with a 10 inch HP that balance well. Quickly enough to use his neighbors apartment but not for playing with acoustic drums. Above we have a lot of tremolo and reverb all nice spring but we would have liked to have a little more. Boost switch to increase the overdrive the amp and increases good bass. For leveling it's all just acute low. All AC is enough to start the guitar and get their hands on the treble low gain settings before reverb consider using other effects.

UTILIZATION

Configuration simplicity, no need to book.

SOUNDS

I now have several tube amps and when I look back on my little pathfinder I am always amazed by the clear sound quality. Always add a little low compared to acute because of the small size of Hp but all we can to even have his typical hot Jazz chorus. For clearer settings, acute are a bit garish. Regarding the overdrive we have a nice little good dynamic half the gain crunch. Above its starting to make some porridge. A kind muddy fuzz well, not so good if you're more interested in the hard rock metal with see very straight saturations. But in this case, for the same budget you will not have much. It will rather buy a dedicated cycled or wait (long) and be able to buy an orange, mesa or marshall.

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for 4 years and I recommend it to anyone who wants to start guitar. Rather than buy a roland cube with lots of unnecessary sound effects and say the shit that does not allow you to develop your ear. In addition it is easily transportable.

OVERALL OPINION

10/10

I quasiement uses since its release (this is my 3rd)
in the genre, small, light, cheap but ... with a warm sound,
therefore, in the kind and ... at this price, it is downright a must.

I do not say that there is not better because all manufacturers are waging a war without thank you for always finding new product range, more concurentiel, and still sound more better, and all that, and everything here, but I know many pros who use this amp for gigs beautiful little genre, small club trio gt / Bass / batt (or even four)
beautiful little restaurants or means (or other)

Small club with a small sound and a drummer so slightly
educated, ie a little bit pro, ie it is
capable of playing "farm" without bouriner like a barbarian,
there's enough power to do the job, including rock.

and ... in this price range ... and weight (as must think also because a pro in a big city, here moves all the time, here plays
everywhere, or can here, or there is a commitment and there are 'no discomfort
15R lets the Parhfinder easy to carry around more than adequate and perfectly usable on all the little scenes)

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, see official website vox.

SOUNDS

Played with 335 and fender gibson, it does!

Sounds rather low-medium which is a feat with a HP 10 ", less garish than the equivalent fender.

OVERALL OPINION

I love this amp!

It is robust and lightweight. I carted around for years without the household and I still use ...
It has a real "sound" amp (no digital modeling) which is more appreciable! I am not using the boost function, I prefer my pedals ... The reverb is typed so you may like or not but it is always better to have something typed something not trivial!

It remains a transistor amp so when we play at background is less but it is not made for it so I do not consider it a defect. It is better to focus use half of the maximum power (which is enough for rehearsals or concerts in bars and restaurants) or otherwise plan to be resumed.

A brief word as a thousand, I do not know him competitor in this price range!

I put 9 because I never put 10 but it is limited!

transistor 15 w
reverb and EQ and gain control

UTILIZATION

config can not be easier
we easily get nice clear sound

SOUNDS

The best clear sound in its class
It surpasses some much more expensive small lamps, that is to say ...
one of the most coveted by jazzmen by power amplifiers, weight, price
and especially its clear sound that is really stunning
this amp is damn good and well built with quality pieces
on the other hand do not expect anything of the distortion, it is really bad.
The crunch it is already more convincing
The reverb is ok nothing to say on it.

OVERALL OPINION

An amp I used a lot as well as with Archtops solidbodys
I tested a lot what was in transistor and none equaled in this price range the pathfinder R 15 at the time
After this is not an amp I would recommend to everyone by his side only dedicated to its clear

transistors

15 watts

UTILIZATION

One branch, you turn the knobs it sounds.

SOUNDS

Great sound, really typed Vox, especially with humbucker, it also works the avex single coil, but I prefer it with guitars with double coil pickups. Rock, pop, blues, everything goes according to your inspiration.

Cash also great pedals, reverb is good, more anecdotal tremolo.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good amp in the studio but also transplanted on stage, its portability and sound quality make the necessary. Made in China, history of silencing the gossips, the finish is perfect and the ridiculous price for an amp.
There really is no competitor in its register what it does it does very well what satifaire pros as beginners.

OVERALL OPINION

used for a few months
I tried many amp work before
I particularly like the look fortification.
excellent quality / price ratio on occasion.
I remake that choice without hesitation.

Other the many other reviews see.

UTILIZATION

Nostalgic for vintage themed Rolling Stones, Rory Gallagher and other Beatles. Done to play at home. Forget for a group with drummer.
Plug and play: it must be really stupid not to at least get a decent sound with this amp.

SOUNDS

Beautiful clear sounds like its little brother the 10. But a little stiff, so thank you dry reverb.
For saturation it is better to confine the crunch and overdrive and prefer a pedal.
Tremolo successful.

UTILIZATION

Amp easy to use, no need to be Hendrix to find a good sound.

You plug it on and it's gone!

SOUNDS

Vox amp, vox sound, so typical blues, rock, pop, indie rock, hard rock or even 70 '/ 80' if you push the gain?

The clean sound is passable, riding gain on Crunch quite easily, and I love it!

I play it with an Epiphone LP custom, and soon a squier classic vibe. For now, with the LP, it sounds nickel, very typical vintage.

Note however, it accepts pedals well enough, I screwed up a nano metal muff it, and send it!

OVERALL OPINION

I use recently. I went back to the electric guitar about 1 month ago, it did a few years I was mainly on acoustic guitar because I baroudais everywhere, and I was looking for a small amp apartment with a good vintage sound. I was part of the all-tube (bugera v5) and trying the vox, I was pleasantly surprised. It is far above the transistor amps in the same range.

In short, very good amp for beginners or even the "semi-confirmed" like me trying to take the electric guitar quietly, without breaking the bank, and with its more than drinking.

See the opinions above.

UTILIZATION

see review above.

SOUNDS

So I just want to clarify and say to everyone that this amp has been tested in the studio in our local rehearsal in Indie-Rock sound with drums, bass, Guitar / vocals, second guitar, it's already heavy in sound, with hyper rock cruch sounds at high volume, and I sent the big crunch and I can tell you that with a bass / drums sending it well, see that little Vox Pathfinder 15R broadly covers a battery. I can confirm. I play a vox cambridge 30 reverb and it is completely different in sound. The distinction of having two amps with two different sounds and the AB BOX connected to a switch and an amplifier to another.

OVERALL OPINION

RAS
yes I would do without this choice problem and acquire a 2nd vox pathfinder 15r thereafter for stereo. Reverb pedal made in japan boss stereo output, stereo output chorus boss.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use and perfect for blues rock.
Featherweight! He was carried around without breaking the head or back.
And the sound is super honest. Ideal for home as repeat
If we can transplant in concert, this is the perfect companion.

SOUNDS

Playing with the gain and boost, it adapts to all types of microphone.
The clean sounds are very honest and gain crunch is rapidly climbing.
Boost engaged and very low gain, normal volume, treble and bass near zero to 3/4, warmed entrance and gets the Blues-rock as well as with many tube amps.
If you push the gain on the crunch will warm the big fat saturation.
Integrated compression is both transparent and efficient.
The engineers who laid this model really worked "for the musician."
Tones Bass and Treble interact like the Vox tube and you can really tweak the sound at will.

OVERALL OPINION

Used daily for about two years, "small amp nothing" eventually dethrone the other amps I was using.
It is on all front, repetition, small concert, and provides max:
Hyper transportable, not brittle, easy to be paid, a sympathetic look, powerful enough for most cases.
Concert will be the raising or pair it with a more powerful amplifier with the output line. You can also easily mount on an incline to listen media.

It would be unthinkable not to have this little miracle in its range.
At that price it would be worth even have two (in case of problems)
(Hurry up ... it will not perhaps last)
