All Pathfinder 15R manufactured since mid 2008 had brown Vox grill.Īn 8" special design Vox speaker was mounted inside the open backed cabinet.Īn optional Vox VFS2 foot switch was used to control the reverb and tremolo. A Boost switch dramatically increases gain and overdrive.īlack Vox grill cloth was used on the Pathfinder 15R from 2002 through 2008, but a change made was by the factory to brown Vox grill cloth in mid 2008. The ceramic C8R has really helped the cleans get glassy. I've always loved the Pathfinder but felt that it sounded best going into another speaker, since I couldn't handle the early breakup of the built-in speaker. In addition to Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass Controls, the P15R even includes Tremolo and spring based Reverb. That's pretty much Weber's take on the C8R, right I think it'd be a great idea. Later Vox models in the low to mid price range would drop the use of gold string.Īlthough solid state, this amp had an amazing tube like tone. It has all the vintage style Vox cosmetics right, including gold string in the cabinet sides, top, and bottom. Barred chords at the higher frets sound pretty good. These setting sound pretty good over all, but when I play a D or Dm it sounds a little thin. Any ideas concerning the pros and cons of the VT20+ versus the Pathfinder 15R Thank you very much for your input BlueSquirrel Thread vox pathfinder 15r vox vt20+ Replies: 3 Forum: Amp-a-ridifiers Latest posts. This was one of my favorite amps from Vox, despite it's low price. Is this correct) Boost off, Treble at 12 oclock, bass all the way up, Tremolo speed 10 oclock, tremolo depth 8 oclock, and reverb off. After more than twelve years of production, Vox finally retired the P15R Pathfinder Reverb in January 2013. But is the cult right I think it´s a fantastic little transistor amp but can it stand a test with a Vox AC15 Well.

I saw the craigslist ad and left the guy a voice mail where I must have sounded like a desperate child. The guy only had the head because he broke the set. They made a head with either a 2 x 12 cab or a 4 x 8 cab and they sold about 700 of these through guitar shops. One of the heads came up on craigslist about three years ago. I bought a new 15R combo 4 years ago and I still have it. I'm older, traditional and I just want to buy my kid an old school "amp". There are so many goofy amps with 20 blinking lights and 32 amp models and I just shake my head. The Pathfinder 15R and the little 25watt Fender Frontman are the only two amps that I can think of that cost about $100 and have only traditional knobs and settings. There are so many modeling amps out there now. It seems to me that so many companies are missing the "plain amplifier" market. I'm glad that you like it.I'm sure you'll like it even more at Christmas.
