VOXPathfinder Bass 10 2x5 inch 10-watt Bass Guitar Amplifier w/Headphone Jack

Just got this today and wanted to write a review because I loved it so much! I have a Vox AC15 as my main amp and wanted to get that great tone on the go. I mainly bought this because I am a full-time guitar teacher and wanted a new amp for daily lessons. I’ve use everything from a Dan electro honey tone, Pignose and my latest Marshall MG 10 watt. While all of those were good, I never found an amp that quite delivered a great sound as much is something you would play at home, but I figured that’s what you’re going to get for the price range, until now....First off, the looks of this amp is awesome! It’s basically just a miniature version of the 15. The enclose and build quality is excellent and it just looks cool!Secondly, plugging in it sounds amazing on the clean, very nice and fall just like it’s father. Kicking on the overdrive channel, it starts bringing out that grit that I love on the Strat.Since a Strat with custom 69 pick ups is my main guitar, I wanted something that was going to bring that sound out. With the game around 9 o’clock in the basin trouble, around 2 o’clock, I achieved the sound I was looking for with plenty of volume left. I will say though with the overdrive maxed out, it’s a little bit fuzzy sounding, but that’s not really what you want out of a Vox anyways.I also plugged in my PRS Orianthi, which has dual humbuckers, and it sounded full and great with the max distortion! This amplifier will pretty much bring out what you’re putting into it and that’s what a good amplifier should do.I also hooked up an OCD version for just you hear what some extra drive with sound like and it sounds great and quiet. It was better sounding on the OD channel pushing it even harder.Overall I love this amp and it’s going to be in my new mainstay as far as a quick plug and play and in my daily guitar lessons. Absolutely love.

I'm a household musician. I don't gig, I don't play in a band, and I don't record very often. Usually, I'm picking my acoustic on my porch. Some years ago, I got it in my head that I wanted to play around with an electric occasionally, so I bought one. I also bought an effects pedal and a nice set of headphones. Living in an apartment and having no other need for an amp, I figured the headphones were sufficient, and they were, for years.Moved to the country, and decided I wanted a setup that could sit, be organized, and could be turned on whenever the mood struck me. The catch was, I didn't want to buy anything too expensive, and I didn't want to be suckered into getting more than I needed. My biggest gripe these days is how hard it is for normal folks to sort through advertisements and elitism to find the "all you'll need" model of anything. From cars to computers to even food, it's impossible to know where your own satisfaction ends and excess begins.I can say that this little amp is an exception for me. It is exactly, perfectly, everything I need; it's loud, sounds excellent, is small and lightweight, and is awesomely priced. Looks nice, too; the retro, low-profile vibe is perfect on display in my living room with my guitar hanging above it. I play mostly metal and hard-rock through it, and still haven't gotten anywhere near as loud as it can go. The sound is monstrous for its size, and the overdrive is more than sufficient for jamming on your own. Add a few pedals for fun, and baby, you got a stew goin.The amp is great, and for the price it cannot be beat. If you're a beginner, it would be an excellent starter amp that would see you through many levels of skill building. If you're cramped for space or need to be able to easily move it, you can't get more sound in as small a package. If you're like me and have been playing for 20+ years, know the elitists are almost always wrong, and want killer amp for a sweetheart budget, then look no further.

It looks like a tiny AC-30. It is built in Vietnam, but don't let that fool you. It feels pretty tight and no internal buzzing that I was aware of the cabinet area. There may be some built in modeling of which is not disclosed. It has that British Jangly distorted tone on the 2nd channel. On the clean channel, using the gain upwards of 3/4 will give you the introduction of some distorted tones and mimicking a valve type amp. I was overall impressed with how nice it does sound, so much so that I may get second one for another room, perhaps the red special edition at the same price or the version with the British flag in white.The only negative was the lack of a reverb. Even if they would have added a digital modeled reverb, it would have been a great add on, but this bare bones amp is probably light years ahead of the amp I started on with which was a small Transistor Sears amp in the mid to late 70's..As far as recording goes, using an external Mic would be no problem. Understand that the smaller an amp is, the close proximity of a Microphone will make it sound larger. It's only in open air and further away that the sound of the smaller speaker will show it's tininess. If you have this amp at or near ear level or pointed up towards you at about 4-5 feet away, it sounds like a larger amp. Regardless, I was impressed. Great value and I would say it's above a practice amp. It would absolutely handle a recording job as well for a different type of tone.

$110.00 price , yes it works for practice . Volume on clean channel super low , switch to overdrive it gets loud so be aware to that . By itself the tone is clean and clear on clean channel and not a bad overdrive sound . I wish Vox would have added reverb and fix the volume issue on changing from clean to overdrive then that would make this amp really great . The real way it shines is when you add a multi effects pedal on clean setting ( no overdrive ) because it really brings out the effects and drums well . It has a headphone jack but takes the 1/4 jack input . Of all the small practice amps tried this one performed the best overall and it is a Vox . When you add reverb to the clean channel it is a beautiful tone .
