Pathfinder 15 – 15-watt, 1 x 8" Combo with Footswitchable Gain Boost
& Tremolo
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. Like other family members, it sports
typical VOX characteristics like basket-weave vinyl, diamond grille cloth, white
piping, gold beading and, of course, ‘chicken head’ pointer knobs.
Performance Control
The Pathfinder 15 houses a wonderful sounding, vintage Tremolo effect and is
extremely versatile when it comes to tone. Its distinctive, maroon coloured top
panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass,
Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. Both the Gain Boost and the built-in Tremolo
are footswitchable via an optional, VOX VFS2 dual footswitch, offering you even
more performance power.
Bulldog Speakers and More
The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 Watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8"
VOX Bulldog speaker. In addition to a Headphone output that mutes the internal
speaker for ‘silent’ practice, the rear panel also has a specially filtered Line
Out jack for recording/live work and an External Speaker output as well.

Boost & Tremolo
The Pathfinder 15R is identical to the Pathfinder 15 but also features an
onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the
effect.
