All user reviews for the Vox Pathfinder 15R

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.
