That’s not my thing, but it is the classic Vox driven tone, so if it is your thing, you won’t be disappointed. If smooth overdrive is your thing, don’t Also, given that there is absolutely zero FX provided to embellish the sound, you might find it difficult to dial in the tones that you like.

I even paired this amp with a Behringer UM-300 but the results were not much better. Some metal tones were clearly better with this combo but it gets too fuzzy very easily. The overdrive channel had a mixed response. Some people found it perfectly usable while others clearly warned us to abstain from using it. As for the sound, you can expect the usual bright and chime-like tones that Vox is known for. The Pathfinder is excellent for clean playing styles from folk to blues, but it can also handle an intense level of heaviness.

We give the Vox Pathfinder 10 a solid four out of five stars. It’s an excellent practice amp, though we do see some room for improvement. Here’s how we came to that conclusion.Here for sale we have a Vox Pathfinder 15R V9168R Combo Amp. This amp is in Mint cosmetic condition, and works perfectly. It includes the box and manual as well. Please see pictures for exact condition! Leaving aside the aux input which can be found in some other cheap guitar amps, I think the Pathfinder offers enough for any beginner. Of course, having at least a basic delay or reverb would’ve been nice but Vox had other plans for this one. Portability and Usability The speakers are three inches, making this one of the smallest practice amps in this tier, but the sound is comparably loud to the clean setting on the Pathfinder. The Fly3 offers one additional switch for a delay effect, which you can adjust to make the time in-between the delay shorter or longer. The demo below showcases a musician playing the Vox Pathfinder through a PA system. With the right condenser mic, it can handle its own. I would say is enough for light gigging and garage rehearsals. This was one of my favorite amps from Vox, despite it's low price. It has all the vintage style Vox cosmetics right, including gold string in the cabinet sides, top, and bottom. Later Vox models in the low to mid price range would drop the use of gold string.

I plugged into one at a local pawn shop and was totally blown away.

You can’t wow a stadium with it, but it is loud enough to annoy the neighbors. Due to its more diminutive stature, this model is best for casual use and more intimate gigs. I can recommend it to any beginner who needs a simple-to-use amp with versatile clean and crunch sound. Although solid state, this amp had an amazing tube like tone. In addition to Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass Controls, the P15R even includes Tremolo and spring based Reverb. A Boost switch dramatically increases gain and overdrive. Lastly, the Bass and Treble knobs are flexible and effective. They can cut down a bright guitar, tame a low-end instrument, and dial anything in between.

Naturally, the clean channel is what you would use to drive your distortion pedals. Otherwise, you can rely on the amplifier’s distortion to use your modulation effects.
