The Vox Pathfinder Series Pathfinder 15R is a small combination amp for electric guitar. It’s a very small amp, although I don’t remember the speaker size.

The name obviously lets you know that it’s got 15 watts of power. It also has built in tremolo and reverb effects. I used it at a studio but didn’t we end up using it on the track. There are a bunch of amps in the Pathfinder Series but this is the that I’ve used to date.

It’s got ¼” connections for input and a foot switch on the front panel. UTILIZATION The configuration of the Vox Pathfinder Series Pathfinder 15R is fairly basic to follow. Included on the control panel are knobs for gain, volume, treble, bass, tremolo speed, tremolo depth, and reverb. That’s all there is to using the amplifier so I don’t think that users will need a manual. SOUNDS The sound of the Vox Pathfinder Series Pathfinder 15R isn’t anything to write home about but it’s still a decent little amp for the price.

The Vox Pathfinder Series Pathfinder 15R is a small combination amp for electric guitar. It's a very small amp, although I don't remember the speaker size. The name obviously lets you know that it's got 15 watts of power. It also has built in tremolo and reverb effects. I used it at a studio but didn't we end up using it on the.

Don’t expect to get that full classic Vox sound from this as you’re going to have the spring for an AC15 or to get that sort of sound. Still, the Pathfinder 15R isn’t a bad sounding amp and would be perfect for practicing at home or shows in a really small venue. The effects are nice as the tremolo is pretty decent and so is the spring reverb. I wouldn’t recommend it for recording and we didn’t use it after trying it mostly because better sounding options were available. OVERALL OPINION The Vox Pathfinder Series Pathfinder 15R is a dirt cheap amplifier!

If you don’t want to spend very much but still want a name brand amplifier with a effects and a decent sounding, the Pathfinder 15R isn’t a bad choice at all. The price will make it accessible to most guitarists starting up. If you can get a used one it’ll be even cheaper as you can probably find them online too. A nice amp for your buck but not a pro’s amp. 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.

Vox has been getting more and more into the small amp market. It seems the highest they really go is the. Even though they have had and still do have a 50 and 100 amps they run the 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. This 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 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.

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. This review was originally published on. I bought the amp brand new at a sam ash music store in ohio for $119.00 everything!

The stand alone best amp for the money. I mike it when I play live shows,it's great for bedroom practice,and it is made for direct recording.I love the gain on this amp,it almost sounds like a tube amp.I was going to invest in a half stack or 2-12 combo but after throwing it in the mix those where not needed. I still can't belive it is only a 15 watt unit.

I put it up against a 30 watt, 50watt,and a 100 watt combo and could still hear myself. It really cuts thru. It is louder than what they rated it I assure you. Its practical,powerful,versitile,and sounds great.

I read alot of reveiws and saw people complaining about there only being one channel. If you have the footswitch and you set the amp as clean and step on the footswitch for the boost it is like changing channels and it almost seems the amp is a 2 channel even though its only one. I have done alot of experementing with this amp and it has not failed me. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS I WISH VOX OFFERED MORE AMPS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE A BREAD AND BUTTER APPROACH INSTEAD OF THE HIGHER END AMPS THAT HAVE ALL THE BUILT IN EFFECTS AND DIGITAL GARBAGE. I WOULD LIKE AN AMP BUILT LIKE THIS BUT A LITTLE LARGER AND HIGHER WATTAGE. Very well made. Great constuction,quality parts,looks good,sounds good,I can't see any flaws.

If you read all of the above there is no need for a summary. Go buy one new at a music store that has a no worries return policy and if you don't like it take back.

I bet you will keep it, it's great. This review was originally published on. I started out playing acoustic guitar, but I wanted to be able to do more so I purchased an electric guitar, to practise on it I bought myself a VOX Pathfinder 15R amplifier for +/-€275 This amplifier is incredibly nice for the price. I love playing it loud with a small dose of disortion. With 15 watts of output power, it is loud enough for practice and yet the humming noise seems low enough compared to other payable amps. Tremolo effect is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. The control panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth.

I'm planning to buy a whenever If find it somewhere for a suitable price. I tried it once and it reall gives an extreme boost to the sound. Sometimes the sound contains a little too much treble but you can fix that by using your guitar tone buttons I have not used it long enough to rate its long-term reliability, but I do not expect any problems. I do like the way it looks and how it's not heavy so it's easy to carry. If you like classic rock rhythm or lead, and don't have much much money to spend, this is definitely the one to get!

This review was originally published on. Purchased new in-store at local Seattle WA Guitar Center. Was looking for small solid-state practice amp with vintage VOX Brit-Rock style tones.

This is the 'new and improved' 15 watt VOX Pathfinder now with REVERB! Likes: - Clean tones: very bright and chimey - Distortion tones: very warm and crunchy, close to natural overdriven tube amp - Gain Boost: kicks in more distortion - Reverb: adjustable, with good depth and echo, adds nice sparkle to clean tones - Tremolo: very cool feature!

Vintage style, with adjustable speed and depth - addition jacks for: footswitch (controls gain boost and tremolo), earphones, line-out, ext speaker This amp may be rated at 15 watts, but it can really bark! Surprising loud. Very minor quibbles: - be nice if it had corner protectors - be nice if it had a mid-range tone control - gain boost can get a bit muddy when pushed to max; easily remedied by rolling back guitar volume, or gain control.

The Pathfinder 15R feels very solid construction-wise: - Solid cabinet and handle - Good response from all gain, volume, bass, treble, treble, and reverb controls. - very good 8 inch VOX Bulldog speaker - nice diamond quilt grill cloth, tight fitting This Pathfinder 15R really nails that vintage VOX Brit-Rock sound 100%. It is well suited for Beatles, Byrds, Tom Petty, REM, and simliar modern-retro styles. It's not designed or intended for heavy-metal or thrash-punk.

I tried out several solid-state practice amps in the $100-$200 price range. I was looking for an amp in this class/price range with vintage style 'clean' and 'distortion' tones, and to me the VOX Pathfinder 15R was the best value hands-down, both sound-wise and price-wise. Lr** Try one out, let your own ears be the judge. Feb 14,2003 This review was originally published on. 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. 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. Transistor 15 watt amp with a 10 inch HP that balance well. Quickly enough to use his neighbors apartment but not for playing with acoustic drums. Above we have a lot of tremolo and reverb all nice spring but we would have liked to have a little more.

Boost switch to increase the overdrive the amp and increases good bass. For leveling it's all just acute low. All AC is enough to start the guitar and get their hands on the treble low gain settings before reverb consider using other effects. UTILIZATION Configuration simplicity, no need to book.

SOUNDS I now have several tube amps and when I look back on my little pathfinder I am always amazed by the clear sound quality. Always add a little low compared to acute because of the small size of Hp but all we can to even have his typical hot Jazz chorus. For clearer settings, acute are a bit garish. Regarding the overdrive we have a nice little good dynamic half the gain crunch.

Above its starting to make some porridge. A kind muddy fuzz well, not so good if you're more interested in the hard rock metal with see very straight saturations. But in this case, for the same budget you will not have much. It will rather buy a dedicated cycled or wait (long) and be able to buy an orange, mesa or marshall. OVERALL OPINION I have now for 4 years and I recommend it to anyone who wants to start guitar. Rather than buy a roland cube with lots of unnecessary sound effects and say the shit that does not allow you to develop your ear.

In addition it is easily transportable. Transistor amp vox see official website. UTILIZATION Simple configuration, see official website vox. SOUNDS Played with 335 and fender gibson, it does! Sounds rather low-medium which is a feat with a HP 10 ', less garish than the equivalent fender.

OVERALL OPINION I love this amp! It is robust and lightweight. I carted around for years without the household and I still use. It has a real 'sound' amp (no digital modeling) which is more appreciable! I am not using the boost function, I prefer my pedals.

The reverb is typed so you may like or not but it is always better to have something typed something not trivial! It remains a transistor amp so when we play at background is less but it is not made for it so I do not consider it a defect. It is better to focus use half of the maximum power (which is enough for rehearsals or concerts in bars and restaurants) or otherwise plan to be resumed. A brief word as a thousand, I do not know him competitor in this price range!

I put 9 because I never put 10 but it is limited!

More portable than the AC15 and more powerful than the AC4, the AC10C1 provides an array of classic VOX tones and comes equipped with studio-quality reverb and a master volume. The AC10 was one of the first amplifiers to bear the VOX name and was available only for a short period of time in the early 1960s. Long adored for its ability to achieve rich, articulate tube tone at very manageable volumes, the AC10 has become a highly coveted piece of VOX history since it's discontinuation in 1965.

Now, in 2015, VOX is proud to reintroduce the AC10C1 and provide players with an easy way to enjoy the legendary VOX top boost sound. Enhancements include reverb and a master volume, the AC10C1 is the perfect companion for the home, studio or stage.

A Winner In Every Respect For years I have been looking for an amp that sounded as good (but with more wattage) as my 6 watt 1979 Fender Champ (a 'tuber') and after trying several. For years I have been looking for an amp that sounded as good (but with more wattage) as my 6 watt 1979 Fender Champ (a 'tuber') and after trying several brands of solid state amps (Fender, Marshall, Peavey, Kustom and Acoustic), I finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money for a tube amp. Enter the newly released Vox AC10C1. You could say this amp is the Drew Brees of guitar amps.

It may not be the biggest guy on the field but it is a genuine winner in every respect and it packs a heck of a punch. This is absolutely the loudest ten-watt amp I have ever played. There are no numerals around the volume knobs but if it there were, they would go up to at least 11 or 12. It has a single channel but that channel has the famous Vox 'Top Boost' circuit. The tone controls have a wide range and are very responsive to even the most subtle of adjustments. The gain/master volume control allows you to dial in sparkling clean sounds, or an uber crunchy wail should you so desire.

The digital reverb isn't really something to write home about but it sounds better than the other digital amp-based reverb units I have heard. (If you push it past the 9:00 position, it gets rather mushy and not of much use but when applied subtly, it does sound pretty darn good.) The amp has a closed back so it has a great bottom end and a very focused sound overall. The Celestion VX10 speaker has a terrific sound as well. Cosmetically, this is a very attractive amp. I'm a huge Beatles fan so I must admit that I love how it looks. (Note: Vox Amplification is now owned by Korg and these amps are made in China but the overall quality is superb and only serves to further enhance the Vox reputation.) On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11.

NIce Amp, Poor Quality I pick up this amp in a trade when it was only 3 months old. I've used it for practice and one performance in the 5 months now that I've owned it.

I pick up this amp in a trade when it was only 3 months old. I've used it for practice and one performance in the 5 months now that I've owned it. Out of the clear blue my amp started making a static noise when I turned it on. The noise stays on for about 10 minutes then it stops. The amp then preforms like it should for the rest of the time I'm using it, usually around 2 to 3 hours.

I tested the preamp tubes, there in good shape. A friend who does electronic repair said it sounds like a capacitor may have a leak in it. If moisture gets in it and causes a static noise.

Once the amp is on it dries out the moisture and it sounds alright. You would think an amp only being 8 month old would hold up better. I do love the sound of the amp thought.

There is no stand by switch on this model, kind of a pain. If you need to service the amp there is about 16 screws to take out to get inside the amp. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: I think this thing is pretty great. It's a real amp, not like the AC4's. The knobs are all usable and give you subtle variations in volume, tone and gain. I tried one of the AC4's with the 12's and thought it was awful.

The AC10 is definitely worth the extra dough. It's as nice as an AC15 but with less power.

The reverb is totally fine. The people whining about it are gear-snobs!

The 10 doesn't sound boxy or overly treble-y. It's full and rich sounding. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: For years I have been looking for an amp that sounded as good (but with more wattage) as my 6 watt 1979 Fender Champ (a 'tuber') and after trying several brands of solid state amps (Fender, Marshall, Peavey, Kustom and Acoustic), I finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money for a tube amp.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: Having owned An AC15C1, AC4TVH, and an AC4C1-12, I'd say I prefer the AC10C1 over the others. All are good amplifiers and offer unique tones.

The AC15 was far too heavy and wasn't worth the features I never used (tremolo and 'normal' channel). The AC10C1 is about 20 pounds lighter than the AC15, and to my ears sounds more like the classic AC30 tone I've always liked.

And unlike the AC4, the 10 has reverb which is useful. It's a very natural-sounding digital reverb, but you'll soon discover that you don't need to set it much past 9:00 as it get get very overwhelming. The AC10 is essentially a Top Boost circuit with a 10W EL84 push-pull power amp, I don't know why, but even with its small 10' speaker it is capable of pumping out a lot more bass and sounds larger than the 12' speaker in the AC4C1-12. It also has more available preamp overdrive than the AC4s.

It really does sound big for its size and that upper-midrange 'chime' that people either love or hate rings out nicely. So yeah, of the four Vox amps I've owned, I like this one the best, even better than the AC15. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: I bought this amp to use at our Church Venue, great sound paired with my Gibson Les Paul Pro Studio.when it worked. After only playing Sundays/Wednesdays (approx 10 hours total time), it stopped working. The amp was kept on location in a mic'ed amp box (with ventilation) the whole time; no misuse or abuse. After it stopped working, I took it home and checked the fuses.

One of the internal fuses was blown and after replacing it with a new one, I turned it back on and I could see a flash through the top vent; it blew again instantly. Next I removed all the tubes (thinking a tube has shorted), put another good fuse in and turned it on. Same thing, blew another fuse. Now its only use is a foot stool.

Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: I love the sound of an AC30, but it's just to much of a load for me. The AC15 is great, but that sucker's a load too. The AC10 is the perfect 'rock band' amp for me. This amp is the perfect amp for use at a gig if you use it with a PA, where the PA can do the 'heavy lifting' and the amp can deliver perfect tone at lower stage volumes (and not crush your ears or your singer's ears). It also sounds great in a small practice room.

I've yet to be able to run it at 50% volume and 50% gain in any small places without it being way too loud for my tastes. Here is where I start getting excited about this amp. The tone of this amp is perfect for rock. From Tom Petty to Led Zeppelin to AC/DC, that 'straight in and rockin' tone is in there. Like all VOX tube amps the volume control on your guitar is very, very important to the tonal range of this amp (and your joy factor).

I hooked up my trusty Tube Screamer, plugged in the amp and got lost in tonal options. It's such a joy to play and to listen to with that extra bit of gain; from SRV to EVH, it's a juicy tone that picks up a big old G chord or solo notes as you rip and roll. Lastly, it's so portable. I love how portable this amp is. It makes it so much easier to load in, and more importantly, load out of a gig. Well, I'd have to say the Reverb is way too heavy. The 'useful' zone, the zone that is not completely washed in reverb, is pretty slight, but it's not impossible to find a 'touch of reverb' setting and stick with it.

But it's a small zone that could have been a bit wider with a bit more tuning of the potentiometer and chip. I've only had it 4 weeks, but it's been fantastic at gigs and noodling in my house. I have a couple dual channel high-gain amps, a beautiful Fender Princeton, but this little guy is exactly what I need for gigs. From rock covers, to blues jams, this is such a good amp. You're thinking about this amp, my advice is 'go for it!'

Watch some YouTube demos too. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: This little amp perfectly fills that gap between a larger, heavy 15 watt big brother and its wee, underperforming 5 watt sibling. It has an amazing amount of volume, clarity and definition for a 10 watt amp pushing out sound through a ten inch speaker. It's small enough to carry the guitar in one hand and the amp in the other going up stairs, but powerful enough to be heard over an aggressive drummer. Offers an all tube clean sound reminiscent of a nicely broken-in Fender pre-CBS twin reverb, but it can get 'dirty' as well by fiddling with the gain control.

I'd like to have seen the addition of a midrange control because the mids on this amp can sound a bit 'boxy' with a neck pickup selected at medium volumes- and also, a line out jack would be nice to facilitate a direct connection to a mixer - but other than those two points, I like this amp a lot. Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: I had the opportunity to audition one of these amps in my own home rehearsal studio room. If you are looking for a high gain Vox tone for recording, this works really well, but that's about the extent of it's usefulness. Definitely not enough clean headroom, even at a reasonably low rehearsal volume, to use for a group rehearsal or performance. It's a shame, because it's really a solid, attractive looking amp. My Vox Pathfinder 15r is a better fit for me. It's a shame they don't make those anymore.

Comments about Vox AC10 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp: I've had it for about a year. Easy to find the tone you're looking for and very simple to use.

You can get a good amount of grit a low volumes. Takes pedals very well. I sometimes use a Wampler Tumnus with it and it sounds great. You can plug in and go with this amp, no need for pedals if you don't use them.

Sounds great mic'd as well. If have the bass, treble and gain at noon with the master volume low, it'll give you great sounds for practicing. Crank it up and it has guts, can get very loud. I got my Tan AC10 open box, had been banged around a bit, but still sound great. Adjusted the tubes, and it's awesome.

Everything stock, is great as is. Lots of good reviews out there as well.
