When Vox introduced the Pathfinder 10 amp in 2008. These include the Pathfinder 10, Pathfinder 15/15R and Pathfinder 10 Bass. So overall, the product is well built, it is as loud as you would expect, but the tone voicing has lost it’s way somewhere along the line. The Vox Pathfinder LoungeThe Pathfinder lounge is devoted to a series of solid-state guitar and bass amplifiers produced by Vox Amplification Company from 1999 to present. I like surfy tones and while Im OK with using pedals to get there, I prefer amps that have my comfort zone right there on the amp itself. I haven’t had time to put this through my DAW yet, so I’m judging this from the headphones, but they have a good track record. Ive had a Peavey Delta Blues 210 before and loved it, and I currently have a Pathfinder 15R and it, too, has a reverb and tremolo, and really, Ive gotten too used to having these things straight on the amp. If I am to use this amp for recording I am going to have to bring the treble down quite a bit. I think Orange have got this balance wrong, at least for me. Equally it might be the cab sim they mention for the headphone output, but whatever, the speaker sound is too dark – I have the treble fully up and still no brightness.The second comment concerns the dirty channel – I’m not a huge distortion fan so maybe I’m not the best judge, but it reverses the dark voicing of the clean channel and sounds a bit fizzy for me, probably because it restores the missing treble from the clean channel. Of course, my headphones might be to blame, but they work very well with my stereo so I don’t think so. Having said that, it’s the speaker – how do I know, well with headphones the opposite holds true, painful treble is on hand. The first comment is that the voicing is on the dark side, certainly no glassy treble to be had, even with a Strat. Lightweight and very compact + look fabulous. It has to be said that initially I was going to write a negative review, but maybe the speaker takes time to bed in, because things are looking better now! 15W tube amp with a built-in tremolo and reverb, line out & headphone output. The build quality is certainly very good, it feels substantial without being unweildy, and looks the part, if you like bright liveries! I’ve tried it with a variety of guitars, both single coil and humbucker, so I think I am able to comment with some justice. I wanted a practice/recording amp and this seemed like a suitable unit. 15R Manual - Pathfinder1515REFGJ1 - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free.
