From Our Research Team:The Pathfinder - With Reverb!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!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. 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. The Pathfinder 15 houses a wonderful sounding, vintage Tremolo effect and is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. Its distinctive, maroon coloured 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. The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 Watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8" 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.

Reviewsbased on 14 reviewslittle amp BIG SOUND AND FEATURES
by Kenny H. from Browning, IL USA
Have you ever had an amp that you didn't realize was your favorite amp until after you traded it off because it didn't have a big enough speaker, enough power or enough features. I had a Peavey Backs... read more [+]tage 30 amp and kicked myself every day for getting rid of it til now and it had a 10" speaker. This little baby may only have an 8" speaker but the sound and volume this thing puts out is ubelievable until you try one out and hear it for yourself. I'm with the Sweetwater Advice guy, don't be fooled by it's size! No, it doesn't have an effects loop, but its LQQKS and SOUND and FEATURES sells itself. I went in to a local music store and BAM! This thing looked so good that I had to try it out. I didn't have my check book with me or I would have walked out of the music store with it that day. I went back the very next day and it was still there. After playing through it for about 10 minutes with my own guitar, I was hooked. The cosmetics just blew me away and the clean channel is just awesome. Crisp and sustain, unlike digital modeling amps that when you hit a note it rings for a couple seconds and then falls off the face of the earth. The distortion, to me, sounds like a tube amp, I kid you not. Very good build quality. A true spring reverb unit inside the amp chassis. The music store owner didn't even know that it had all the features in the back of it. Line out for recording or hooking up to a slave amp or PA. Speaker out which shuts off the internal speaker and a headphone jack plus a footswitch jack for the boost and oh yeah, tremolo functions. I can't say enough about this little jewel. I don't think I have to LQQK any further for a replacement for the ole' Backstage 30 that I had years ago. Go try it out and see for yourself and you'll end up buying the VOX PATHFINDER 15R. LOVE IT! close [-]

by Bradley Rains from Booneville, MS
I've been using this little amp for years now and WOW is all I can say! It's just an amazing piece of gear. I've got a Vox AC30 with Celestion Greenbacks and I still prefer this amp over that one for ... read more [+]its lead tones. Turn the gain all the way up and close mic it with a Beta 57 and ENJOY! Think Brian May's solo tone on "We Will Rock You." I've also used it to record distorted vocals, Rhodes Stage Piano MK II, Wurlitzer 200A, bass, and anything else I can think of. It simply shines on everything. close [-]

January 25, 2011 Music Background: hobbyist/hack An interesting and capable box
by gndboy from Corpus Christi, TX USA
I ordered this '15R from Sweetwater to replace the '15 (no reverb) I sold. This solid-state amp sounds "Voxy". I read all over the web guys are stuffing ten-inch speakers into them. Why bother? Th... read more [+]e amp itself is so small and light it can be treated as a head if one is so inclined. The unbalanced line out is just fine. The treb and bass controls can give mids by rolling both back a bit and goosing the volume. The reverb is not full-on surf. Use a Nanoverb for that. The trem is decent, too. The amp's sound is just great. This amp is a bit too much for a bedroom practice rig, which makes it a tweener. In my opinion, the eight-inch speaker is perfectly matched to the amp and the physical cabinet. Records well; silent; well-mannered dynamics. It's great by itself, and tolerates a tube mic preamp with careful adjustment of the gain control. Overall, a very nice little package. It blows the doors off ANY of the current cheapie single-ended tube combos regardless of which tube. This thing rocks. The eight-inch speaker is particularly well-voiced, and gets along with other instruments in the mix live. Plenty of the low end that counts, and almost zero mud. Keep in mind that SWR makes a high-end bass cabinet that uses eight eight-inch speakers. This little box packs a lot of utility and great sound. Y'all might want to try it. close [-]
