Is this the best practice amp? | Vox Pathfinder 10


I got two Vox Pathfinder 10 for my teaching and decided to show off my pro unboxing skills (not). Had a blast noodling way on this amp using different tones. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy-access amp that they can have laying around the studio/house.

  • Can we do away with unboxing? I could not give a single f*ck what the cardboard I'm gonna throw away looks like. 50% of this Amp review doesn't feature the amp.

  • You've just taught me a lesson about this amp, namely that it really has an 'overdrive' that reacts to the level of Gain. Now I suspect that most of the complaints about it are coming from people who are 'Diming' the Gain. The way they were talking, it sounded like a buzzsaw as soon as you pushed the button.

  • I have this little amp and love it, the overdrive channel is bad but the clean is awesome. I have the one with the Union Jack on the speaker, nice added touch

  • Great review, prompted me to buy this beautiful Vox amp (not only for practice). Greetings from Poland ✌

  • Im not sure about its the best amp for practice(even i have one) but your review is surely the best

  • VOX PF 10 sounds awesome if u're using it for clean but it becomes dogshit when u're using it for overdrive

  • It has quite a warm, even old-fashioned sound for a solid state amp.
    Get yourself some inexpensive aural nostalgia!

  • FWIW…..I GIG with a Pathfinder 15R that I had a cabinet built for, that has the stock chassis, with a 12" speaker. A whole lot more "ooomf" to it. I've played with guys using Fender Deluxe Reverbs and Vox AC 15s and AC 10s, and held my own very well. Most guitarists are amazed it's a Solid State, 15 watt amp.

  • i would not say that its the best because you cant really say that about anyamp because not everyone likes the same thing and the amp is a huge part of the tone you get and we are all after different stuff but its a really nice amp i have one and really like it alot and i have owned tons of amps over the years and what i was always after changed a few times as well there for so my amps have also changed

  • the only ones I can find is the pathfinder 10 bass, are they all bass amps that are compatible with normal electric guitars?

  • Hola billy! tengo este mismo amplificador el sonido limpio es muy calido y me gusta mucho. pero el overdrive no me gusta o no se si es bueno o no… que opinas del overdrive?

  • I just bought my vox pathfinder 10 after watching this and it's really worth it! Specially for room setup!

    Because it has an open back, the sound doesn't feel it's projected from the speakers blasted towards you. It fills the room with sound quite evenly and sounds natural.

  • Having had such wonderful luck with the Vox Pathfinder 15R, I decided I had to try the PF 10. It was a TOTALLY different amp, and not in a good way. I love the size, but the sound is pathetic. I ended up taking out the little 6.5" speaker, cutting out the baffle, and installing an 8" speaker. Helped a little, although it's still inadequate for much other than a "last resort" practice amp. VOX!…….bring back the humble Pathfinder 15R!

  • I have two practice amps for home use,
    A Blackstar Fly and this Vox Pathfinder.

    I've had the Vox since around 2007, use it everyday.
    It's an awesome sounding amp, and I use it connected to two 10" speaker cabs.
    I put an output jack in it with a switch to cut the internal speaker.

    Also I use a Digitech multi effects pedal with it.
    It sounds amazing. Great sounding amp.

    Nice video thanks.

  • Thanks for this! Rare to find good sounding demos of this amp. Now maybe throw a pedal in front of it in another video…?

    Reply
  • Great video Bill! That amp is so damn cute ????Pretty affordable too! I have an AC30 and it's not something you can casually get out and play (heavy and loud). This seems like it'd be a great compromise for many people.
