Treble, Bass, Volume, Clean / Overdrive switch, Headphone / Line output. I guess what I am saying is that there is no need to limit your choice of amp just because you want something for quiet practice - budget allowing of course. Guitar Combo 10 W, 1 x 6.5 Vox Bulldog speaker, The ideal practice and recording. My Ampeg PF-500 could blow the roof off the house if it was fully cranked but I can also turn it down so that it’s whisper quiet, probably quieter than the Pathfinder in fact. The thing with modern D class amps is that they are fully scalable and sound just as good at any volume. If all you want is a low volume practice amp it will fulfill that brief, but that is all it will ever do. I would think carefully about buying one. The most distracting thing about this is that it does indeed have a fairly hollow sound as Paul mentioned, almost like there is a bit of constant reverb dialled in - no doubt due to the open back but it can get a bit annoying (unless you really like hollow reverb Shadows/Beach Boys type sounds).
I was hoping to be able to get a bit of crunch by manipulating the drive with the volume but at higher volumes the sound just gets nasty and ill-defined. I only put my passive Jazz through it but I couldn’t really get a great deal of tone variations out of it even with the bright boost and cut. speaker-wise it comes with 2 four inch driversĪs far as sounds go it produces a fairly clean tone at low volume which is perfect for practice. I wouldn’t want to put a hot bass in a Pathfinder. I don’t know it your Yammy is passive or active but if its quite a hot active bass you might want to look for an amp with a second padded input. Add a 1/4 jack to allow connection to a CAB. There is only one input so no second padded input. When you engage the boost, the amp still goes loud fast, but you get some more volume resolution than before. I reckon it weighs as much as my Ampeg Pf-500 amp head.Ĭontrol wise you get drive, treble, bass and volume, a bright boost and a headphone socket. The case is solid wood, it has a proper fabric grill cloth and a nice red metal control panel on the top like the old vintage Vox’s.

This won’t be a very full review because I’ve literally taken five minutes out from work to quickly noodle on it.įirstly it’s a good looking amp. Your question inspired me to dig it out to see what I think of it today. In addition to a Headphone output that mutes the internal speaker for 'silent' practice, the rear panel also has a specially filtered Line Out jack for recording/live work and an External Speaker output as well.I have a Pathfinder 10 Bass that I bought several years ago and put in the attic shortly afterwards when I upgraded. The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 Watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8" VOX Bulldog speaker. Both the Gain Boost and the built-in Tremolo are footswitchable via an optional, VOX VFS2 dual footswitch, offering you even more performance power.

Its distinctive, maroon coloured top panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. The Pathfinder 15 houses a wonderful sounding, vintage Tremolo effect and is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. Like other family members, it sports typical VOX characteristics like basket-weave vinyl, diamond grille cloth, white piping, gold beading and, of course, 'chicken head' pointer knobs. With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15-Watt, 1 x 8" Pathfinder 15 combo packs a profusion of VOX style and sound into a highly compact and affordable package.
The Pathfinder 15R is identical to the Vox Pathfinder 15 but also features an onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the effect!
