Amazing Amplifier!

Great amp with a vide variety of tones. Captures that distinct Vox sound. Very sturdy build. This amp is ideal for practice or jamming situations. Overall I really like this amp and it is great value for the money.

Very good amp !

I've just made a little mod to the overdrive channel and all is O.K.

Woks with single coil or Humbukers ( Telecaster and Gretch ).

A nice little VOX !

Big in being small

I needed a practice amp that I could quickly take out and put away without heavy lifting. I don't have room downstairs to put a 12 inch combo on display the whole time.

It's by far the most lightweight and easy to lift combo I have ever owned. The volume is more than sufficient for a big living room. The sound is amazing for it's size and for me it can blow certain heavier and bigger sized competition away.

It handles my pedalboard very well if needed and I like the look and fabric of the unit. It's sturdy and can stand collisions with my furniture from time to time. There is room in the back to house the power plug (it's half open).

If you are looking for a small versatile, compact and light amp for room practicing, this is the unit to buy. Excellent value for money!

Best practice amp ever.

I've been using Vox Pathfinders for years now. I also have a 10 IronHeart, a Bass Pathfinder and a 15r. They are my cheapest but also best sounding (clean) amps imo. The overdrive channel sounds great too for home practice and has plenty of gain for some 80's heavy metal. They take pedals very well. For this price they are a no-brainer. Don't look for anything else and pick one of these up. You won't regret it.

Awesome amp for my pedals

I already own a modelling amp. I wanted this as a pedal platform as my modelling amp reacts terribly to them. For that it did not disappoint.

I am not a professional musician but I enjoy playing music and have a small music setup, I travel a lot so I needed an amp that can come with me to different places. This amp is perfect for this, light, simple, has a good clean sound and the distortion is not terrible.

The only thing I miss is a built in basic reverb.

great product

Beyond the sheer pleasure of owning a beautiful VOX amp, the sound is quite amazing and powerful for a "10 W" amp. The clear channel is so pure, I imediately loved it. Very easy to carry around too. Excellent value for money.

Fantastic Amp

This is a fantastic little practice amp. Bought it for my son who is keen on guitar, and it sounds great. Well made, reliable, and iconic looks too!

Einstecken und loslegen

Super Verstärker wenn man einfach zu Hause spielen möchte. Sehr einfacher Verstärker mit wenigen Einstellmöglichkeiten, für den Preis jedoch klasse. Steht bei mir am Schreibtisch zum einfach leise etwas herumspielen.

I bought this for the clean tones, and boy does it deliver, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this for really anything except clean tones as the overdrive does sound less than convincing.

That being said, I works brilliantly for me. It's packs enough punch for fiddling around in my bedroom, it's small enough not to take up much space, it looks really nice and clean, and space at the back fits the cables perfectly.

The build quality is nice too, although it doesn't feel like it would stand up to a whole lot a throwing around, but I don't do that anyway so that's not an issue either.

As far as features go, it doesn't really have many, and the only one I really do miss is a reverb of some sort, but I knew it didn't have on when I bought it so that's not really a complaint.

All in all it's a nice little bedroom amp for crisp and clear clean sounds, but don't expect it to do much more beyond that.

One of the best practice amps

If you want a small amp with a great sound, this is your choice, especially if you are looking for the typical Vox sound.

This is a very simple amp. It has two channels (actually, the second channel works more like a gain boost for added distortion). The clean channel is great. And surprisingly takes pedals very well, even fuzzes.

When I want a distorted sound, I prefer to overdrive the clean channel. The gain channel is a little too hard and with too much treble if not equalized correctly.

The EQ has only bass and treble controls, just like some other high range Vox amps. Anyway the Vox sound is very heavy in midrange.

It is loud enough for practice but you can also use it is bigger venues if you mic the amp or you can use its output jack and connect it to the mixing table (this one is frequently used at my church). More volume can be achieved by connecting a bigger speaker, but you?ll have to hardwire it.

The only downsides of this amp are the lack an external speaker output, effects loop and a footswitch connection to change between channels. However, again, some high end Vox amps don?t have them either.

Awesome combo amplifier!!!

I got Vox Pathfinder 10 because I wanted a nice sounding little solid state combo. I already had the bass version of this amp, which has a great sound. So, I decided to try the guitar version. I mostly play Heavy Metal and Power Metal. This is the only amplifier I ever tried that can produce a nice Metal distorted tone with the gain knob set at noon. The tone is the familiar British tone. I love it so much. Controls are simple and easy to use and you can easily set them for a great tone. However, this amp hasn't any effects. For me, that isn't a con, because I use effect pedals for this purpose. Quality is great. This amplifier looks and sounds better than many more expensive amplifiers. If you love classic British Heavy Metal sound, it's perfect. I'm sure it does a good job for many other genres too.

Nice little combo

Well, kinda the solid-state version of the AC10. Clean sound awesome, just don't push the OD button. takes pedals really well(OCD type OD, modulation, reverb etc. in my personal experience).
