MGR/soundbytten « Vox Pathfinder 15R »
Published on 10/14/10 at 15:00This is no frills little practice amp with an unbelievably good tone. I've been playing Blues/Rock guitar for 30 years and I've never heard such a great sound from such a small amp.
I was looking for a little practice amp that I could carry around. I saw this used for $99, tried it out and was really impressed.
It sounds great. It barks. It quacks. It screams. It cries. It cleans up nice and sweet. It is small and very light. It sounds great with Les Pauls and Strats, Tele's and ES-335s. It is very responsive to your guitar's volume controls. Put your volume on 10 and get a great lead tone. Then just back off a little for a more subtle lead tone. Back off a little more and you've got a great rhythm tone.
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. So, I wish it was more powerful.
Quality seems fine. No complaints. Well one little complaint. 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. I guess that wasn't a problem with the child labor that put it together in China. Small hands...
Buy this Amp! Buy it even if you don't need it. It is worth it. It is just a little over $100 new. Yes, it is 100% solid state. If that offends your religious sensibilities, too bad. Buy it anyway. If I'm ever out and I see one, I'm going to buy a second one just in case.
