VOX Pathfinder 15R Guitar Combo AmplifierThe 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. With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15 watt 1x8 inch Pathfinder 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 colored top panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8 inch VOX Bulldog speaker. In addition to a headphone output that mute 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.

| Only had a month. No problems. | | Overall:
| This amp is amazing. It has huge sound for a small amp. Has great tube tone for a solid state amp. Sounds better than alot of tube amps also. Tremolo is a nice added effect. Has actual spring reverb . Not loud enough to hear over drums but is a sweet home amp. | | Playability and Feel:

| | | Subject: | Vox Pathfinder 15R, simply the best small practice amp! Period!! | | Quality:
| Quality of construction appears to be top notch. | | Sound:
| Very warm and full sounding with a very good tremolo and a pretty good reverb. Can't believe it is not a tube amp. I know tube amps, and this Pathfinder is not only a great solid state amp, but is better sounding then many tube amps out there. Almost as loud and toneful as my modified Fender Blues junior. The 8 inch speaker sounds great, with a nice full bottom end and no harshness at all. Ran the amp thru one of my 1x12 inch speaker cabinets and it sounded even better. I have gigged with this amp thru the 1x12 and was very pleased. The more I play this amp, the more I am inpressed with it. Not because it's solid state, but because it is just a real good sounding amp, period. It not only sounds like a good tube amp, but it has the feel of a good tube amp. | | Reliability:
| So far so good. | | Overall:
| I am a Traditional Blues, Jump Blues and Swing style guitarist. I am lucky enough to own some of the best amps out there for my type of music, including a Fender 5E5 Tweed Pro, Holland Gibb Droll 3x10, Fender Vibroclone, Allen Accomplice, Juke 1210, Ampeg Reverberocket 2, acouple of Sanos and a couple custom made Class of '57 amps, etc. I included this list only to give an example of where I'm coming from regarding this review. I am 58 years old and have been playing guitar 45 years. Not a pro, but have always had a passion for guitars and amps and great tone. Started looking for a small practice amp about two years ago. Tried and owned most of the highly rated small amps out there including the Epi Valve Jr., Blackheart, Roland Cube, Tech 21 Trademark 30, old Fender Champs etc. All left me cold and wanting the type of tone I get from my gigging amps. I stumbled upon the Vox Pathfinder 15R by accident, on a You Tube video demo of a guitar for sale on Ebay. | | Playability and Feel:
