About This Product!
Description
Docs
With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15-Watt, 1 x 8 in. Pathfinder 15 combo packs a profusion of Vox style and sound into a highly compact and affordable package. 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.
Performance Control
The Pathfinder 15 houses a wonderful sounding, vintage Tremolo effect and is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. Its distinctive, maroon colored top panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. Both the Gain Boost and the built-in Tremolo are footswitchable via an optional Vox VFS2 dual footswitch, offering you even more performance power.
Bulldog Speakers and More
The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8 in. Vox Bulldog speaker. 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.
The Pathfinder 15R is identical to the Pathfinder 15 but also features an onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the effect.
Features
Input Jack: Standard 1/4 in. jack for guitar connection.
Gain Control: Set higher for crunch and distortion sounds and lower for cleaner tones.
Boost Switch: Press in for more gain and distortion. Press out for cleaner sounds. You can turn this function on and off remotely with the optional VFS2 Footswitch.
Volume Control: Controls the overall volume. Set high for clean sounds. Lower the level when setting the Gain control high for distortion.
Treble Control: Adjusts the higher frequencies or treble in your tone, from soft and full at one extreme to bright and cutting at the other.
Bass Control: Adjusts the lower frequencies or bass in your tone, from warm and light at one extreme to dark and heavy at the other.
Tremolo Speed Control: Controls the speed at which the built in tremolo oscillates.
Tremolo Depth Control: Controls the intensity of the built in tremolo.
Boost/Tremolo Foot Switch Jack: For the connection to the optional VFS2 Dual On/Off Footswitch with which you can turn both the Boost and the Tremolo functions on and off independently.
Power ON/OFF Switch & LED: On/Off switch for mains (AC) power to amplifier. Plus power indicator LED.
External Speaker Output Jack: For connection to an alternative speaker cabinet.
Headphone Output Jack: The headphone jack on the rear panel mutes the built-in speaker and lets the guitarist play "silently" at any time.
Line Output Jack: Specially filtered line level signal for recording/live work.
The usual Vox cosmetic refinements: The Gold Logo, Basket Weave Vinyl, White Piping, Gold Facia Strip and the Diamond Fret Cloth.
Specially designed "Blue" speaker
Pointer Knobs
Vox Handle
* Note: Pathfinder 15R has one extra control for Reverb level

"One of the best...simply put!"
Feature:
Simplicity at it's best. Not everybody's into the amp modeling thing. Love the tremolo, that's a rare thing on an amp these days.
Quality:
It's from Vietnam, but hey, what can I say? Never had a problem with this baby yet, but for the price, I can't complain. I wish amps were like this when I started playing in the late 60's. (Yeah I'm old)!
Value:
Great value for the money, no question it's one of the best solid state amps out there! I'd buy another if this were stolen or something like that.
Desirability:
I love it! Like I always say, simplicity is bliss! It's that simple!
Sound:
This is "The amp that think's it's a tube amp". That's how good it sounds.(To me of course). All I did to mine, was change the speaker. I know some folks "did the upgrade" to a 10" speaker, which sounds like a great idea, but I just kept it simple, and said goodbye to the bulldog, and said hello to the Jensen C8R! Works for me.
Ease of Use:
No problem here. One channel. Like anything else, you have to get to know it. Once you do, most likely, you won't have a problem with the results. (I like to keep the boost on all the time). I'm going to get the VFS2 dual footswitch, and I'm done.
Support:
Never had to use them.
Overall:
This amp is a great value, very versatile, great for practice, or just about anything you can imagine. The original speaker is fine, but if you want to realize it's true potential, try some others.
