![]() ![]() Its sound is not going to blow your mind, but for an amplifier this small and this cheap, it's certainly really good. I would say that you canNOT get tones like those really bright-roland-jazz-chorus stuff and the really heavy-mesa-boogie stuff (at least not without a drive pedal).Ĭomparing this one to other small amps in the same price range I personally like it better for rock n' roll, it crunches nicer than the little fender champs but the clean tones are better than the marshalls. Talking about other styles here: tone wise, you can play many different things with this guy. More than that and 1) sound gets worse - dirtier, but not in a good way) 2) It doesn't really get any louder. It is loud enough to play with a drummer if the drummer is not insane, and, as many other guitar amps, it sounds better whith the volume knob between 60%, 65% and. The clean tone is nice and full, the drive can go from a little crunch to heavy enough for Black Sabbath, and you can use the guitar volume knob to bring the dirt down a little when you want to.įew knobs, few options, but you either don't need any tweaking to get good sounds, or don't get them at all. Talking about rock here: it actually sounds like a Vox amp, which is a good thing. This amp is a little bigger and a little heavier than other ones with the same power, but not a big deal. I like chicken head knobs, they are easy to grab and it's easy to see where they're pointing to. Bought it used, so I've never even seen the manual. a very simple amp, straight to the point. No reverb, no fx, no fx loop, no footswitch. The nice looking chicken head knobs are gain, treble, bass and volume, plus the overdrive button and a line/headphones out. This little Vox is a transistor amp with 15W (according to the label at the back of the amp, but some people say it' s 10W.), one input, and one 6.5' speaker. The lovely finish makes the amp look great in any setting. This might be a deal-breaker for some, but if you’re only looking to practice in your home or a small room this won’t be an issue. ![]() When compared to other amps from Marshall and Fender, it does feel a little quiet, and you often need to turn the volume up halfway to hear nuances well. It’s a ‘does what says on the tin’ type of amplifier, with nice breakup once you turn the volume up. The Vox Pathfinder 10 delivers very nice Vox-style tones in an affordable and lightweight package. I had fun using it and it never let me down. It's a standard rehearsal / practice amp that will last you a good couple of years when you first start playing, especially if you like classic rock. Portability is a huge plus, the amp is quite lightweight so you can carry it around easily. Reason being the sound quality could be better (see previous comments). I wouldn't use this as a main live amplifier, just for rehearsals and home practice. You can get a wide variety of sounds, although I wouldn't play Metal or anything too heavy, go for a Marshall in that case. I didn't use any effects with it and just cranked up the gain a little when playing AC/DC, Hendrix, etc. I would stay away from using your typical Squier Bullet or equivalents as you might get severe treble-itis. ![]() It's probably best to use a humbucker-equipped guitar to compensate for this. Suited my blues and classic rock style fine, the sound could get quite treble-heavy due to cheaper solid-state hardware. I loved the way this looked and for a cheap price decided to go for it. There are basic EQ controls, nothing fancy there. It's a pretty standard product from Vox and doesn't look out of place with more expensive gear. The product build is solid and feels high quality. I used an Epiphone guitar with it and managed to play most styles of music. I owned it for 1-2 years and enjoyed playing it. Eventually sold it to upgrade for a dearer Marshall. ![]()
