discontinued product

With the classic good looks of its big brothers, the new 15-Watt Vox Pathfinder combo packs a profusion of Vox style and sound into a compact, portable and affordable package. Like other Vox amps, the Pathfinder is covered in Vox basket-weave vinyl and Vox diamond grill cloth, and it uses pointer knobs for indication of control settings.

The Pathfinder’s 15 Watts of power are housed in a cabinet of significant size, providing you with a truly substantial amp for practice or performance. The top panel of the Pathfinder is maroon just like many vintage Vox combos. It features Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Depth controls as well as a Gain Boost switch and headphone output. Plus, the Pathfinder offers foot switchable control over the Boost and Tremolo functions with the optional VFS2 Vox dual footswitch for even more performance power.

The Pathfinder’s 15 Watts of power drives a specially voiced 8" Vox Blue Bulldog speaker, which delivers more tone and power than you will find in many other practice amplifiers.

Dimensions: 394mm(w) x 368mm(h) x 190mm(d) / 15"(w) x 14"(h) x 7"(d)

Weight 8Kg / 17.7lbs
