The tremolo is a good feature too although I don't use it a lot. The reverb is a real spring unit, and the adjustment on it gives you a lot of sounds, as good as a Fender spring I would say.
#VOX PATHFINDER 15R 20W PLUS#
The tone is honestly about 80% as good as my tube amps, plus it is lighter and smaller for toting about. I have one, and it is an amazing little chunk of love. GUITAR TONE - VOX Pathfinder 15R vs VOX AC30C2 - YouTube But for 10% of the price, no brainer for me. When things get cranked an AC30 will go where a Pathfinder can't. It holds its own with the AC30, at home level use. When I tried it out with them, they were all surprised how good it sounded. Salesdudes always looked down on amps like this and rarely played or recommended them, having a preconceived notion amps like this were too 'cheap'. It will dirty up very well in home situations, and that's really all I need right now.
I tried a Pathfinder and the contest was over, the clean sound through the speaker or headphones sounded far better to me. I tried modelling amps and found most just didn't sound that great clean, and some were plain nasty on some dirty settings, though the versatility and toys were tempting.
For home use that leaves an awful lot of unplayed amp. The 'best' was often a euphemism for Tube, and in expensive (read $800+ amps) you're looking at 15W of tube - BJnr, AC15 etc. The logic of this seemed to come unglued when I started trying some out: Aus prices are often double that of the US, hence perceptions of 'expensive' and 'value' change markedly. Sometimes it takes what seems like too many words to explain things as I see them.When I started playing, a lot of the advice I got was 'buy the best amp you can afford'.
#VOX PATHFINDER 15R 20W HOW TO#
With these amps, as well as some pedals I really like, it's knowing how to sorta become one with them that makes them go up a notch to what they are capable of.Īll just my thoughts on this amp and why it's such a great little Tool. This amp is in it's zone in the slightly dirty gain settings, or clean. Now, I'm not talking about cranking the gain, which is something I almost never do. The boost button creates another aspect of interaction that lets me get sounds I really find Cool and very versatile. Obvious to some, but not all, the interaction between the gain knob and the volume knob is often what will define the usefulness of an amp such as this. It gives you more volume over all and if I set it up just on the brink of breakup, or a tad over, when I hit it with an overdrive, such as the TS9, it becomes a thing of marvelous beauty to my ears. I leave the boost on most of the time that I use the amp. Should I buy a separate pedal or find a way to make the boost channel on the amp work for me with the optional Vox footswitch? I would prefer to limit the amount of my I spend but if the best route is to buy an OD pedal, I will do that. I am very interested in buying the VL Sparkle Drive, OCD, or Little Big Muff. Does this make the boost function unusable? Is there any way to work around this issue? I do not own any pedals but would definitely be willing to buy one to make up for this. Multiple people have said that the volume is much louder than the clean channel once engaged. With that said, my only concern is the boost function.
After seeing all of the love for this amp and watching YouTube videos of its performance, I believe I have changed my mind. I had it narrowed down to the Fender Frontman 25R until the other day when I stumbled upon the PF15R. I have been looking for a nice little bedroom/practice amp for Christmas. have just been really getting back into guitar after a 4 year hiatus. This is my first post here after religiously perusing this site for the past three months.
