I have been looking for a nice little bedroom/practice amp for Christmas. have just been really getting back into guitar after a 4 year hiatus. This is my first post here after religiously perusing this site for the past three months. I think it does have a more Brit sound too if that is what you are after. When I line out the Vox into the the SK100B I do get a lot more volume and it really fills in the bottom end, but it still sounds like an 8" speaker, but on steroids.Ī great value, and nice to know if somebody smashes the window of the truck to get it, You aren't out more than just over a days wages, even if you are working a McJob. Now that I have some other amps (Fender Princeton 112 plus, Laney Cub 12R, etc.), I can really tell the difference between the 8" and a 12" speaker. Now, all that being said, this is not an AC15. Little 8" bulldog speaker sounds nice too. I bought the 2 button footswitch and it is nice for going between the smooth and the gritty, and being able to bring in a little tremolo for a fill here and there. Lines out if you need more sound and takes pedals great. The tremolo is a good feature too although I don't use it a lot. The reverb is a real spring unit, and the adjustment on it gives you a lot of sounds, as good as a Fender spring I would say.
Vox pathfinder 15r for sale plus#
The tone is honestly about 80% as good as my tube amps, plus it is lighter and smaller for toting about. I have one, and it is an amazing little chunk of love. GUITAR TONE - VOX Pathfinder 15R vs VOX AC30C2 - YouTube But for 10% of the price, no brainer for me.
When things get cranked an AC30 will go where a Pathfinder can't. It holds its own with the AC30, at home level use. When I tried it out with them, they were all surprised how good it sounded. Salesdudes always looked down on amps like this and rarely played or recommended them, having a preconceived notion amps like this were too 'cheap'. It will dirty up very well in home situations, and that's really all I need right now.
I tried a Pathfinder and the contest was over, the clean sound through the speaker or headphones sounded far better to me. I tried modelling amps and found most just didn't sound that great clean, and some were plain nasty on some dirty settings, though the versatility and toys were tempting. For home use that leaves an awful lot of unplayed amp. The 'best' was often a euphemism for Tube, and in expensive (read $800+ amps) you're looking at 15W of tube - BJnr, AC15 etc. The logic of this seemed to come unglued when I started trying some out: Aus prices are often double that of the US, hence perceptions of 'expensive' and 'value' change markedly. When I started playing, a lot of the advice I got was 'buy the best amp you can afford'.
