dej characteristics cited.
It is equipped with an excellent spring reverb and a good tremolo
There is a line Sotir and a headphone output hp

UTILIZATION

Config trs simple.
The sound is superb, especially when we know that an amp has 130 euros.
SETTING THE The Tone is super efficient and playing with the gain / volume are obtained crunch beautiful and available in key BOOST + which I believe gives better sound especially at the level of brightness with a Tone supplmentaire lowering the volume of the guitar ...
The manual is well done ...

SOUNDS

It fits perfectly in my seventies blues rock style ... and it adapts to any
guitar.
The sound is not crystalline but is well defined (thank you super vox bulldog hp)
When I reu I'd never essayje I am proud to notice our site well liked Well ... I t really surprised by the quality and sound that dlivre it ...
At this price (and style), I did not see any competitors.
I find it's a "lamp" and frankly, thank you vox!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 2 months
I love EVERYTHING!
I have 4 other amps (Pignose 7 / 100, MG30DFX, valve junior, hohner P200) that I like too (see my other review) but this little vox to my preferences ...
The report price is unbeatable quality especially in VPC.
I assurment remake that choice!

Transistor combo amp, 15 watts, an instument input and outputs on the back line, HP, footswitch, headphones. built-in effects are reverb only correct and tremolo in the spirit VOX ............ With regard to the equation, I find that it is effective.

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, just play with the knobs for volume and gain for a clear sound, or a more crunch. Personal I do not use the boost too. Frankly not need manual ..........

SOUNDS

It should be a lot of musical styles, jazz, blues, pop, rock, rockab, except of course the trash (in my opinion it not fer for that), I played with a US TARS, or GRETSCH 6120 and it sounds really great. It does happen even to approach the sound "lights" is really stunning. Given the power (15 Watts) beach clean sound is very low, but then what CRUNCH is a real treat. On top of that if you have the opportunity to connect "this little box" in a 4 x 12, then! it is surprising. Initially I bought this amp to continue to play on vacation (light facie to carry, no maintenance of lamps, etc ...), well now I used all year round. Also it's great recording studio.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for five or six years, I really like everything about this amp, and frankly what more to a guitar amp of this quality for $ 86 euros nine paid at the time .... ........... then the VOX really THANKS ..............

Dja cited.

UTILIZATION

The strict minimum rglages, easy to use ... and my cat lightweight.

SOUNDS

My Orange Rockerverb 50 Repair Tool is this amp so I RCup vox pathfinder 90s and I t bluff! How much for a transistor 15watts 8 "! The clean sound is very flashy, nice for blues, but nothing special, however the crunch is beautiful! The amp has a rponse like a tube amp ! If you like the sound style AC / DC you Alez rgaler you!

OVERALL OPINION

The best amp for the price. Your money will be put in the sound and not look in the design of the amplifiers. In addition, the blue bulldog speaker vox is really not bad. He crushes a platte sewing all other amps!

15W transistor, simple, no lights, no modlisation, no numrique.

complte connections, but may be missing one second between instrument or an auxiliary input into a Swiss Army knife IDAL.

UTILIZATION

Config simple: we RULES gain, volume, adjusting the EQ, a little bit of tremolo and reverb, and sufficient.

SOUNDS

I was looking for a small portable amp work.
I took it for its small size, but I am surprised by the sound trs!

habitu an old Fender 85w 12 ", the vox did not at all and the amp can be a real game, with a real sound INTERESTED.
HP 8 "makes a little less wide spread and powerful, but at the same pleasure I prfre little vox, I found it easier with the sound I love: a clean cloth or a clean / blues crunch to see a saturation lgre.

its strong point is not that clean fenderien remains clear loud volume, but plutt the clean / crunch Ragit that when the volume goes up, which suits me well.

others give an opinion "the tube" ... say he has not done all that color, but it is more enjoyable than bcp what is expected for a small transistor.

I'm curious to plug it into a larger HP to avoid having the limit of 8 inches.

Another surprising point: Despite the small HP MODR volume the bass is more than sufficient to have a "complete".

OVERALL OPINION

Bought only two weeks ago, I have not had time to test it in diffrent circumstances, trs but I am surprised the report qualitprix and I think this amp will serve me more than what imagined.

it may be able to do a little rpt with a drummer not nag or a small concert bar (pushed back but I guess that should no longer be clean clean).
the line-out can also get out if the power shortage.

I could compare it with its ERRF modlisation numrique (AD15VT).
I prfre the pathfinder 15 for cot simple, direct, and the dynamics of the cart (which are eaten by just numriques advantages in the other, just what I was looking avoid).

balance: even for a non beginners guitar, this amp is trs INTERESTED Exceeds its use and the first amp work, so no regrets on this purchase.

bonus: it is beautiful

EDIT APRS year:
with a les paul live it, it's pretty amazing what can come out. The size and the price does not suggest as well. It is highly dynamic and transcribed many of his changes on the guitar and the nuances of the game
and I confirm he holds rpt blues / rock drummer with a cool guitar + bass + other.

Transistor amp very simple.
volume, treble and gain more bass boost switch.
1 c mini AC15 or AC30 of 15 W
He has built a good tremolo and reverb.
Headphone line out, extension cabinet and optional footswitch that controls vsf2
the boost and tremolo.
HP 8 "in a box open.
around € 140 nine
No middle AC30 but not so okay.
Too bad there is no tone cut MAIT eq catches it with no problem.

UTILIZATION

Given the number of possible settings the manual is optional
Vox has done a lot of humor in it.
I have a transistor amp to yamaha 15w 6.5 ", a Vox VT40 + 10" pretty good
and although the vox pathfinder is two times bigger than my yamaha and is hardly less wide than the 40 + vt
The sound delivered by its hp is measured by vox is important enough that I could in my room never exceeded 1 / 4 volume and clean 1 / 8 in disto!
Amp which has in the stomach.
The knobs are very progressive and responds great.
much better than the VT40 +.
all bring a different sound setting that makes this amp a marvel.

SOUNDS

As it is framed AC30 rock blues pop funk but can be easily tease punk and hard rock.
This amp delivers sounds incredibly soft and warm for a transistor.
better than the VT40 + which has a lamp built into the power circuit.
On the other hand it can output sounds sharp, fat ...
The saturation is very specific (eg AC30) but is fabulous for me.
A Paul's on the channel bottom of a boost and distortion n'impote deposit any other similar power transistor amp!
I started buying different pedals as analog delays, reverb ... u2 for the management of the crunch on this amp c top.
This amp has so much character that it covers my VT40 + has the same volume and same settings!
2 refers to the sound of the pathfinder but draws on the ear!
When you know that the VT40 + c already good stuff ...
The board is rather vintage tremolo, and sounds very good.
the reverb is top to color the sound I find it just too noisy when a bottom.

OVERALL OPINION

Well it's been one month it runs every night and frankly (apart from the night train or a jet 15 City 20, and still) no amp could replace it for use the same room and studio with a microphone in front of the fact that great!

Go see these videos:



Again it's really very close at all lamp.
I tried 4 amp power transistors with a Marshall like I know what that was not bad, but frankly ... voila!
Value for money: c true that it is more expensive than average but the sound is much the height, the look is too good, and it is unbreakable!
With the experience I would buy a good 2nd to the stereo lol.

In summary SUPER HUGE AMP TO BUY NOW!

The VOX Pathfinder 15R is a small solid state 15 watt 1x8 combo amplifier that is a single channel affair, built in the general style of the older VOX amps. It features gain, volume, treble and bass controls to adjust your core tone. There's also an onboard boost switch, as well as onboard tremolo! How cool is that? The Pathfinder 15R also features a built in reverb. On the back the amp has headphone and line outs as well as an external speaker output for running into a speaker cabinet of your choice (8 ohms).

UTILIZATION

Getting a good tone out of this amp is not difficult. The real problem (and it's to be expected) is the stock speaker. It's only 8 inches so it can't put out the bottom end or low mids that I'd like to hear in an amp. It's surprisingly tubelike in its response too, so I was surprised how awesome it sounded when run through an extension cabinet. I liked the tone of the one that I tried so much I bought one of my own not long after. Dialing it in is fairly simple due to the limited controls. I usually just set everything to noon and then tweaked to taste depending on if I wanted a clean, low gain, or high gain type of sound, or depending on if I was running standalone or through an extension cabinet.

SOUNDS

The sounds out of the VOX Pathfinder 15R are quite surprising for a little practice amp. The general tones are very much like a real tube VOX amplifier. The clean tones have a very nice chime to them that works especially well with single coil or P90 pickups. It can get a little bit too dark with humbuckers at times, especially if you're running through the stock 8" speaker. The drive tones are very brown sounding much like a classic Marshall. I didn't want to believe how good the tones were - it just didn't seem possible for a $150 amp to sound that tube-like, but it's true. Harmonics just leap from the amp and the high end snarl is perfect for that eighties riff rock type tone. The onboard reverb and tremolo are fairly high quality too.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the VOX Pathfinder 15R is a great sounding amplifier that has a shocking tone when run through a good speaker or speakers. It's extremely tube-like in its feel and tone, and for the $100 that I paid I was happy as a lark. I sold mine in one of my gear fluxes, but I will eventually get another one because they do sound that great.

REALLY AN AMP TO RECOMMEND D4APPART. THE SON ALSO KILLS THE LOOK. LESS THAN swear by SATURATIONS EXTREME COMBO THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU COMPLETE SATISFACTION.

Vox has been getting more and more into the small amp market. It seems the highest they really go is the Ac30. Even though they have had and still do have a 50 and 100 amps they run the Ac30 as their flagship amp. Now they have been trying every variation of possible small and combo amps that you can think of.

Vox has really stepped into the modeler territory and this amp even though is not a modeler....well it should be. Honestly this amp is a bug head scratcher for me. It is one channel and the thing is a solid sate amp. Today you can get modeler amps for the same price with a ton more features.

SOUNDS

I have to say that the amp does sound pretty decent, but I feel for the price it is limiting in so many ways. Well the more you crank the gain to more is will have that familiar Vox type gain structure. I like this amp with a Les Paul. I ave heard it wit other guitar but my personal preference is with a Gibson Les Paul.

Other than reverb ad tremelo the thing doesn't have any effects like delay or chorus. There are many amp in this price range and even cheaper that have multiple channels and multiple effects. The sound you get from this amp is very good but it is just so limiting that it makes it very disappointing for me.

OVERALL OPINION

I wouldn't recommend this amp to anyone. There are plenty of other solid state amps in the same price range that can do much more than this thing can. I like the Roland Cube and the Peavey viper much more than this thing. More sound s and more options.

At new these amps come in at around $120. Not bad but not great either. I would go with the other amps I recommended in this price range.
