If I had to do it again, I would maybe choose the ceramic version to retain more of the original speaker qualities. My Tele and Strat sound better with the Weber, but I prefered my Gretsch with the Vox Bulldog.Īll in all I don't think I've spoilt 40$, it was a real ear opening experience. The Pathfinder 15R is identical to the Vox Pathfinder 15 but also features an onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the effect With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15-Watt, 1 x 8' Pathfinder 15 combo packs a profusion of VOX style and sound into a highly compact and affordable package. I would say the tone has lost of its dryness and has gained a mid complexity quality, it reacts now a bit like a tube amp. I've been playing it 2 days know, and after a slight disappointment (I was expecting more tangible improvements) I like the new voice the amp has. more pleasant and vintage tone, but a bit less raw than the Bulldog. rounder tone (accentued mids compared to the rather flat Bulldog) less bright or harsh : AlNiCo takes the edge off but it took the spank out less loud than the Vox Bulldog : not a problem for me, it's just for home practice.

I could really use something like a the new Fender Princeton or Peavey Windsor recording amps. The studio has ofered to drag out a ribbon mic, that costs four times as much as the Pathfinder, but as time is money, DI seemed like the right answer. The line out doesn't sound very good though. I've been recording direct in from my pedal, and useing the Pathfinder as a monitor, and it's been plenty loud. I've been doing some studio work, for a singer/songwriter lately. Thats less than Vox grill cloth, if I try to cut a baffle board, in squeeze in a 10" speaker. Weber has an alnico Blue Pup speaker, for $35.

Takeing the line out, and running it through the power section (effects return) one of my bigger amps sounds good too.
