    One mod that would very likely be a game changer with regard to the gain function on the drive/dirt channel would be to add a 1/4" speaker out jack. It's super easy to turn any small combo amp into a beast this way. A screwdriver, a 3/8" drill bit, a soldering iron and a couple hours of your time. There are some good tutorials on how to do it I did this mod to my Fender Champion 20 and that little amp went from a very high quality practice amp to something that, when I run it into a larger cab, rivals some of my favorite tube amps. I suspect that this Vox amp would perform similarly driving a bigger cab.

    I saw this amp on Amazon for $109 and your video has me even more interested in picking one up. I’ve always used fender amps, typically 2x12 tube combos but have always been a fan of small solid state practice amps. I have an old frontman reverb that I use occasionally for recording in situations that my twin reverb isn’t suited for. I’ve been wanting a new small practice/recoding amp and had never heard of the pathfinder. I think your video has me convinced with those clean tones.

    I modded this Amp to a really good little thing, but I must admit that it took me months to figure out how. And i swapped the speaker to a Celestion. This Amp is great, for practice and as a pedal platform, and, if you do mods, a wonderful small rocking thing. Don't want it to sound tubelike. They made it to span clean (wich is wonderful from the start) with high gain, so use it that way, or mod it. It's easy. Cost is about €20.- for the electronics and then a Celestion 8/15 speaker (€ 39,- ). I did not only the LED-mod, but changed also some capacitors and resistors, please see RUclips and the modding sites. You will have an earlier and more defined "breakup" in the clean channel and a smoother overdrive in the second channel. Check out the mods for yourselves, I will not give data for the parts, as I think everyone should respect his/her Amps and find out his/her own tone. A beautiful curcuit, believe me, it is easy.

    I bought one of these for £40 very slightly second hand. My intention was to throw it in my bedroom as I have health problems which can confine me to my pit for a few days at a time. However, i accidentally discovered a use for this amp that you just wouldn't think of. Clean channel, everything at noon and use it as a small power amp for your modeller / guitar processor. I've tried this with the Zoom G5n, Boss GT-1 and the Boss GX-100. Obviously its not as good as a decent FRFR powered speaker, but it's a respectable noise for low volume use.

    I have an AC15, and it also has no mid control. I just use an EQ pedal to boost the mids a lil whenever I need them, so you can probably do that with this amp as well

    Good demo, critical and constructive. I think I would like it to have a specific sound, even with the hars treble and fizzy drive. But if you want a more rounded, normal sound it could be a problem. You pointed it out very good without judging.

  • @csumme7
    @csumme7 8 месяцев назад

    Amps like Fender, Vox, Marshal, and others have their own specific sound. It is just how the amps were made in the older days and that sound became what they were noted for. Question is how does the Pathfinder compare to the Vox AC10, 20, or 30 in its tone. If I wanted to sound like a Marshal stack only a Marshal stack will sound like a Marshal stack and same goes with a Fender, Roland, even old Gibson amps.

  • @vivienpalcic6135

    Thanks for the great review of the Vox Pathfinder 10. Your review of the Fender Champion 20 convinced me to buy it as my first electric guitar amp and it is indeed fantastic. I wonder what you would suggest for a beginner acoustic amp as I recently purchased an Alvarez acoustic-electric guitar? I've tried it with the Fender and it sounds good, but I don't know if a real acoustic amp would sound better. Thanks again for all your great reviews!

    I have a Boss Katana Mini and love the cleans and slightly overdriven tones on that. But I also want something a bit bigger/louder and more flexible to use at home. Thinking 20W. Currently I’m testing Blackstar ID core Beam. I’m liking it but loving it. The rich and full clean tones are most important for me. What would be better for supreme cleans? Fender Mustang or Champion?

    I bought one second hand and hated it immediately. I'd listened to youtube videos and thought I could get decent sound out of it but couldn't. Swapped it for an old marshall 8020. The reverb is dead but it's a much nicer amp. I don't understand why people buy new beginner amps when there are hundreds for sale second hand for next to no money.
