Pathfinder 15R – 15-watt, 1 x 8" Combo with Footswitchable Gain Boost & Tremolo
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.
Also features an onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the effect.
Performance Control
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.
Bulldog Speakers and More
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.
Top Panel Features:
Input Jack. Standard 1/4" jack for guitar connection.
Gain Control. Set higher for crunch and distortion sounds and lower for cleaner tones.
Boost Switch. Press in for more gain and distortion. Press out for cleaner sounds. You can turn this function on and off remotely with the optional VFS2 Footswitch.
Volume Control. Controls the overall volume. Set high for clean sounds. Lower the level when setting the Gain control high for distortion.
Treble Control. Adjusts the higher frequencies or treble in your tone, from soft and full at one extreme to bright and cutting at the other.
Bass Control. Adjusts the lower frequencies or bass in your tone, from warm and light at one extreme to dark and heavy at the other.
Tremolo Speed Control. Controls the speed at which the built in tremolo oscillates. You can also control the tremolo function remotely with the optional VFS2 Footswitch.
Tremolo Depth Control. Controls the intensity of the built in tremolo.
Reverb Control (Only on Pathfinder 15R.) This control enables you to vary the level of the built-in spring Reverb.
Power ON/OFF Switch & LED. On/Off switch for mains (AC) power to amplifier. Plus power indicator LED.
Rear Panel Features:
Headphone Output Jack: The headphone jack on the rear panel mutes the built-in speaker and lets the guitarist play "silently" at any time.
Line Output Jack: Specially filtered line level signal output. This gives you a good sounding signal for recording/live work without having to mic up the amp.
External Speaker Output Jack: For connection to an alternative speaker cabinet.
Footswitch Jack: For connecting the optional VFS-2 Dual Footswitch with which you can control switch both Boost and Tremolo functions on and off independently.

What people are saying:
"Guitarist since `55 - gigged for 10+ years - assemble my own Strat and Tele clones w/Bill Lawrence noiseless pickups to feed old Fender tube amps - playing fingerstyle blues, jazz, modern surf and ragtime - understanding the limits of a "practice" amp such as this, this one`s quite good and at the top of the heap considering the price. Recommended for what it is (a bedroom/recording amp) and what it`s not (a gigging/hard jamming amp)."

"For what it`s supposed to be...a practice amp...this thing is great. Especially for $100 or so. Beats everything else in it`s category. (and I tried them all in the music store!) If it was stolen (and I wanted another practice amp) I would purchase this again instantly. My regular live gig amp is a 100 watt Carvin tube combo from 1984, and it weighs about 80lbs. The Pathfinder weighs in at 17lbs....GREAT when you`re moving gear. I`ve considered seeing if I could toss a 10 inch speaker in it, but I`ve gone back to using my regular live rig."
