Reviews around size (5.00 of 5)

  • Its compact size and decent vintage look make it easy to keep out in the house without looking clunky and ugly.
  • In addition to having the power to fill a decent sized venue, amazing tone (clean and dirty), and being small enough to fit anywhere and fit in your passenger seat, it looks very stylish too
  • I plugged into it and the sound was great--and I heard myself say, "That's better!"Great size and price
  • This lil baby is epic!Perfect size, and it is beautiful
  • The size is super convenient for moving around, or setting on top of things

Reviews around build (5.00 of 5)

  • Was immediately struck by the impressive build quality and sturdiness of this amp.
  • That being said, the built-in distortion/overdrive setting is pretty damn good

Reviews around chimey (5.00 of 5)

  • If you like the Vox clean tone...warm, rich, chimey, buy this amp.
  • Of course it's not an AC30, but it still has that great chimey Vox tone and terrific British crunch and overdrive

Reviews around set (5.00 of 5)

  • I also bought an effects pedal and a nice set of headphones
  • The Clean setting is bright and crisp while Overdrive gives you all you are looking for in a Vox amp
  • I used the clean setting with a les paul and an old vintage Rat pedal, and that is the best the Rat has ever sounded

Reviews around vox (4.53 of 5)

  • Small practice amp with nice volume and classic vox cleans
  • Would be nice if it had a midrange control or perhaps reverb like the now discontinued Pathfinder 15R, but can't complain much because you get pretty good classic Vox tones, especially on the clean channel
  • Only 10 watts of power, but Excellent sound- nice clean Vox tones

Reviews around state (4.49 of 5)

  • You have to crank it to do those things and solid state amps just don't sound as good maxed as they do at mid levels
  • I much prefer to use this amp as a practice amp: it's lightweight, loud enough, great clean sounds, takes my pedal board great, and it's solid state: no tubes to replace
  • However, the reality is all low end solid state practice amps are terrible for tube amp folks
  • Can't comment on reliability, but the only solid state amp I've owned that ever failed was one I dropped off my boat
  • and it sounds ridiculously good for its size and price (and solid state setup)

Reviews around price (4.18 of 5)

  • Simplicity, tone, and price (and no concern for tube maintenance) - not necessarily in that order
  • I was skeptical at first due to the fantastic price point
  • I plugged into it and the sound was great--and I heard myself say, "That's better!"Great size and price
  • Great price, love the product, and it arrived promptly.
  • No frills keeps the price reasonable, it takes up almost no space and looks great

Reviews around practice (4.14 of 5)

  • This amp does not technically sound "good" but it sounds like exactly what it is, an inexpensive practice amp
  • This is the perfect practice amp for bedroom or living room.
  • I just wanted a cheap practice amp and the VOX is perfect
  • It surpasses my Roland in sound, tone, richness, and I would even say volume even though the Vox has a slightly smaller speaker and even though the Roland is as loud an undersized practice amp as you'll find
  • It really is a nice practice Amp and the Price is right on this Amp.

Reviews around tone (4.08 of 5)

  • I can get a Bush-like dirty tone with ease on my fender strat SSS and the overdrive with gain turned up a bit
  • I have a Vox AC15 as my main amp and wanted to get that great tone on the go.
  • The pathfinder adds enough of the warm VOX tone I was looking for with all knobs set at 12 o'clock and the channel set to clean
  • In addition to having the power to fill a decent sized venue, amazing tone (clean and dirty), and being small enough to fit anywhere and fit in your passenger seat, it looks very stylish too
  • Of course it's not an AC30, but it still has that great chimey Vox tone and terrific British crunch and overdrive

Reviews around channel (3.95 of 5)

  • When I want a heavier sound I switch to the clean channel and run my effects through it
  • The clean channel provides classic Vox sound and the dirty channel is pretty good as well.
  • The clean channel is crisp and the overdriven channel is sweet
  • The clean channel provides classic Vox sound and the dirty channel is pretty good as well.

Reviews around guitar (3.53 of 5)

  • Another correction: I plugged a different guitar in to the amp and it works fine.
  • I also own a Rogue G-10, which I had purchased over a year ago, and I was starting to get sick of its tinny sound
  • My guitar has neodymium pickups and sounds excellent out of just about every amp, but this amp here manages to may my guitar sound like a box set instrument from walmart
  • Sure, it doesn't get blisteringly loud, so you probably won't be performing with it anytime soon, but it does get loud enough to jam with a small group, probably with a drummer (as long as he doesn't thunder away as loud as he can).You really cannot beat this amp for 70 bucks.
  • My boyfriend is a great guitar enthusiast and he loves this
