![]() So long as it can handle classic rock, country, and '50s rock it would be good enough for me. I know it will never be equal to a Marshall tube amp, or even a completely tube VOX, but, since I only play at home and will never play out, it might work out perfectly fine for me. Im not 100% certain on how these hybrid style amps work so is the clean channel on these all tube while the overdrive is SS? Or is the overdrive a combination of tube and SS?Īs I said, I am looking to replace my Class 5 and am hoping that the AC15VR would be a (reasonably) suitable replacement. And what about the overdrive channels? I concentrated mainly on the clean channel and will spend more time with the overdrive later on but just wanted to ask what people thought. ![]() How do people find the reverb on them? I find the reverb on my Pathfinder to be pretty weak and I am concerned about having the same problem with the AC15VR (the store I tried one out in was rather busy and loud so it was difficult to hear the reverb without cranking the volume on the amp and I didn't want to be one of 'those' people who play stupidly loud in guitar stores). I have to spend some more time messing around with one in the store before I make my final decision but, in the meantime, I was wondering what people here thought of them, especially in terms of reliability, build quality, etc. I've tried the AC15VR out a couple of times and really quite liked them. But, if the AC15VR got me pretty damned close to tubey goodness, I might not bother with the VOX head at all and would simply keep the AC15VR and the Pathfinder. I might decide to grab a VOX head (likely the AC4TV) and cab in a couple of months and, if I do, I might get rid of the Pathfinder and keep the AC15VR instead (I can't believe I am considering getting rid of the Pathfinder but I just would never ever use any more than two amps). I've decided to get rid of my Class 5 due to being fed up with the rattling problem and was thinking that I would get the AC15VR as a replacement and a companion for my Pathfinder 15R. All Pathfinder 15R manufactured since mid 2008 had brown Vox grill.Īn 8" special design Vox speaker was mounted inside the open backed cabinet.Īn optional Vox VFS2 foot switch was used to control the reverb and tremolo.Can anyone give me their opinions of the VOX AC15VR? A Boost switch dramatically increases gain and overdrive.īlack Vox grill cloth was used on the Pathfinder 15R from 2002 through 2008, but a change made was by the factory to brown Vox grill cloth in mid 2008. In addition to Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass Controls, the P15R even includes Tremolo and spring based Reverb. Later Vox models in the low to mid price range would drop the use of gold string.Īlthough solid state, this amp had an amazing tube like tone. It has all the vintage style Vox cosmetics right, including gold string in the cabinet sides, top, and bottom. ![]() This was one of my favorite amps from Vox, despite it's low price. After more than twelve years of production, Vox finally retired the P15R Pathfinder Reverb in January 2013. That amp disappeared shortly after the Pathfinder 15R was introduced. This amp was an updated version of the Pathfinder without reverb that was originally introduced by Vox in 1999. The Pathfinder 15R was a small solid state 1x8" 15 watt combo amp that was introduced by Vox in 2000. No use on online auctions, eBay or Reverb.Īfter 2008, The Pathfinder 15R was shipped with brown Vox diamond grillįrom 2002 to 2008, The Pathfinder 15R was shipped with black Vox diamond grill ![]() © 1996 - 2023 The Vox Showroom, all rights reserved. ![]()
