If you love good tone and classic rock but cannot afford a tube amp yet then get the pathfinder 15. This is loud!
It behaves like a 1 channel tube amp. Set the gain low and master high and you get clean tones. Baligtarin mo with the gain high and master lower and you get crunchy sound typical of the 60s. Push the boost and you get distortion though not the heavy type. Di lang maganda gamitin yung boost switch for clean/distorted sound kasi sobrang laki ng increase a loudness.
Medyo mahirap timplahin sa umpisa lalo na pag nasanay ka sa 2 channel amp na pag clean eh yun na tapos pag lead channel distorted agad at any volume. Dito kahit mataas na gain pero light picking relatively clean pa rin pero pick or strum hard magiging distorted sya. Yun nga lang may mga settings na di maganda tunog parang di kaya ng bass so you really have to experiment.
Yung tremolo I have no use for it pero it's okay. Yung reverb is not good past 9 o'clock.
I highly recommend this amp. Totoo yung mga nababasa mo sa net. Yung nakabili ng pathfinder ko after hearing the amp sa bahay yan ang sinabi. Next day nagpost sya sa ad ko saying the same
How does it compare with my blues junior na pinampalit ko? Sa clean iba pa rin ang fender maganda talaga. Pero if you want an overdriven sound without a pedal mas madali gawin sa pathfinder.
May nakita ako sa AP festival mall I suggest you go and try it.
I had a Marshall 10 watter before the vox and it was a no contest. In fairness to the marshall it had a small speaker and single tone control so all I got from it was varying volumes of distortion.
