this is my follow up review after trying it out for recording and with my Variax.

GOOD THINGS;

it works well with the variax, being able to setup a preamp bypass patch means the amp turns into a flat eq powered speaker so the variax acoustics will shine through (as will your digitech rpx400 or pod xtl or any other floor based modelling pedal.) – while in bypass mode you still have access to the onboard effects and reverb = very cool!. The Variax also sounds cool through the amp models BTW.

it records well – for home studio use ive found the easiest way is to record it by running a stereo y cable from the Amp's headphone out into the left and right inputs on my card. It sounds alright and also mutes the speaker and you can control the signal level with the master volume you could do the same thing with the unbalanced 1/4 inch or XLR line outs but the speaker isnt muted and the Master volume isnt bypassed – they're for perfomance applications i guess.

Some of the amp models are really, truly beautiful (especially when recorded) the tweeds and blackfaces are really warm and nice.

The reverbs and delays and modulation effects are really nice too – different to other effects ive used, but nice.

It still looks effing cool! jet Black with red LEDs which are shaped like tiny drops of blood – or plectrums

Its a lot of fun!

CONFUSING THINGS;

I cant figure out the purpose of some of the 'configurations': the manual isnt clear = live1 is the default and sounded crappy through the speakers – so i went to Live2 which switched off all the cab emulation – so it sounded cool through the speakers, but crappy when recorded. I want my recorded tones and live tones to be the same – so ive stuck it (and left it) on Studio 1 which sounds ok for both. I also dont understand what UltraG simulation is – the manual doesnt explain well, they said its on the headphones but not on the 1/4 inch line outs – i recorded both and couldnt hear the difference. i may write to behringer and ask them to explain it – or wait for someone to come here after me and do so

BAD THINGS;

some of the hi gain models are a bit samey, and also a bit 'over the top' – you cant complain about a lack of grunt, but sometimes they dont sound very nice.

The noise Gate is a bit brutal in the way it works, its quite simplistic – ive used more subtle noise gates.

you should have a seperate compressor aswell as a seperate reverb, i like the way the modulation effects are set out so you can have delay OR chorus OR chorus AND Delay as individual settings, But you should be able to apply compression to anything you want like the reverb.

The Auto Wah is disgustingly horrible – personal taste i guess.

The plastic components on the interface do not look very sturdy at all.

I cant find the Midi sysex patch software on the Behringer website ;(

switching between completely different amps causes a bit of delay as the V-amp loads all the new information, you have to setup your patches in banks with a little bit of thought to minimise this: keep the same amp on each preset in a bank, make sure it has the same cabinet and reverb type/drive settings. Then any alterations to eq or gain or FX should without the dealy when you switch, i havent tried going from bank to bank yet as i dont have the right foot switch and have to use the buttons

its still cool and still fun but there are one or two things that arent perfect – but what is??

and it only cost me 150 notes so still amazing!

just an addon to my previous review – i have now tried micing it up – it was ok but nothing to write home about, then i purchased the behringer MIC100 valve mic preamp and put it in the effects loop = now it sounds incredible!!

again = as a stand alone amp it leaves a lot to be desired but mic'd up or recorded DI with the MIC preamp it sounds incredibly good – ive A/B'd it with the POD and GNX MFX units and i think it has the edge for that valve feel, really getting some amazing warm shimmery results = but id advise recording the amp as dry and bright as possible (to overcome the dull speakers) and adding effects wityh plug ins in your DAW.

still an amazing piece of quipment for the price – RRP is about ??210 but no where sells it for that much, normally around ??140 on the WWW – wich is about the same price as a Marshall MG30DFX – wich sounds like complete crap (although the MG10CD is another fantastic amp for MIC'd Recording.)

With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15-Watt, 1 x 8 in. 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 colored 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 in. 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.

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.

"Title? The amp speaks for itself."

Great look. The Vox grill-cloth is instantly recognizable, and you aren't going to find a better looking amp for the money… Not to mention better sounding.

Great value. The only amp manufacturer who can come close for the money is Line 6 with their Spider series, and the Vox beats it out because of the tube and the natural sound. Not modeled like the 6.

Great quality. This amp has been taking a beating for the past 6 years, and it still looks and sounds great.

No idea, but for a company that makes such great amps, how bad could it be?

"Dynamite comes in small packages."

Great tone.

a hell of a deal.
This little thing blows the Crate and Marshall amps
of the same size away.

Great Vox looks. This little thing is a sleeper.
