ncreff « Excellent little amp to play at home »
Published on 03/28/14 at 05:26
Best value:
Excellent
Audience:
Beginners
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.
