Even my old Line 6 M13 sounded glorious through it. So tempted and will use it as a back up for my Princeton, I owned a Vox Da5 mini amp quite a few years back and the clean and crunch tones from that were quite remarkable for such a small amp. I used to run a pair in stereo a few years ago, it was one of the best sounds I've had. But the core clean tone is a very nice sound. The gain section is not great (rather raspy and quite noisy) and the reverb is mild but effective to give your sound a 3D effect. It has a lovely tone and valve like response to picking. The Vox 15R on the other hand, can def be gigged if you mic it up, or if required take the output to a bigger cabinet. Heres a pic of the 15R These Pathfinder 10s go for 80 new, so 75 for a used one is way too much. The stock speaker is good, a bit boxy if you push it. Excellent little amp, takes pedals well, reverb and tremolo included (very good) reacts very dynamically to the guitars volume pot. ![]() There's a noticeable hum from the amp (not loud but annoying) and the core tone with no sweetening provided by the chorus section can only be described as nasty imo. Boost on: Gain at 8 oclock Vol at 10 oclock treble at 2 oclock Bass at 11 oclock. I'd been lusting after a JC-22 for years as they're so cute but the reality was a disappointment. The JC-22 is very much a practise amp, with little to no bass output. Having had both those amps, I'd go with the Vox. Hi there, how much did you pay for it? and do you reckon it’ll work for small gigs or rehearsal? kind of swaying towards solid state now and this thread has got me thinking - tempted by Roland JC- 22 also ![]() ![]() I'm not looking to mess with it, but as I use my amps as clean pedal platforms is it worth doing the LED mod or replacing the stock Celestion/Vox Bulldog with a more efficient speaker? Awesome clean sounds, lightweight, seems like it might even be gig worth into an ext. Vox VS Marshall VS Boss (practice amp) Torn up between some different amp options. The Pathfinder 15 is my favorite low volume amp ever. Maybe I already have too many amps and don't need to replace the Pathfinder with the AC-10. Well, as the title says! Picked her up for very cheap and I must say I'm incredibly impressed. Figure the Pathfinder 15R suits my needs, but was also thinking of getting a small watt tube amp.
