The Pathfinder 15R is a small solid state 1x8" 15 watt combo amp that was introduced by Vox in 2002. This amp was an updated version of the Pathfinder without reverb that was originally introduced by Vox in 1999. That amp dissapeared shortly after the Pathfinder 15R was introduced. Even after eight years of production, the Pathfinder with reverb still remains in the Vox line.

This is one of my favorite amps from Vox, despite it's low price. It not only has all the Vox cosmetics right, including gold string in the cabinet sides, top, and bottom. Later Vox models in the low to mid price range would drop this cosmetic touch.

Although solid state, this amp has an amazing tube like tone. In addition to Gain, Volume, Treble, and Bass Controls, the P15R even includes Tremolo and spring based Reverb. A Boost switch dramatically increases gain and overdrive.

Black Vox grill cloth was used on the Pathfinder 15R from 2002 through 2008, but a change made was by the factory to brown Vox grill cloth in mid 2008. All Pathfinder 15R manufactured since mid 2008 have brown Vox grill.

An 8" special design Vox speaker is mounted inside the open backed cabinet.

An optional Vox VFS2 foot switch is used to control the reverb and tremolo.
