![]() I only had a passing acquaintance with one, and it was stock. ![]() The Pathfinder was a cracking little amplifier, again, regardless of the technology used. If they offered it as a standalone head, I'd have to consider it. Cute, and a great man-cave addition, regardless of the technology used within. I thought it was a fine sounding, and in its retro grille cloth, fine looking amplifier. Our local large(ish) music shop closed down recently, and I only had a passing chance to try a Mini Super Beetle while I tried a slightly shop soiled Affinity Tele. Walmart pastiche pop art for the great unwashed, stylised for its own sake. ![]() It reminds me of the post Quimby animation attempts to modernise and 'hip' Tom & Jerry. That representation of a Union flag on the speaker cabinet triggers me to trigglypuff levels of triggerdom. And all such modifications/configurations are welcomed in this discussion. They've wedged 10" speakers into their 15R cabs, used the extension out on the rear panel to go to a separate cab, done speaker swaps, etc. Opinions comparing a stock 15R to a stock MSB are primarily what I'm thinking of, but I know that many PF15R owners here on TDPRI have done mods and/or play through different cabs. So how do you think the Mini Super Beetle compares? Do you own both? Have you A/B’ed them? Have you tried out the MSB but haven’t had the chance to play them side-by-side in the same room? I’m going to assume for the moment that I don’t need to recap on TDPRI the features that makes the Pathfinder 15R such a sought after amp. But comparing Vox to Vox sounds like a logical thing to do, in my book. I don’t recall these previous conversations taking into consideration the still fairly new (unveiled a year ago at Summer NAMM 2018) Vox Mini Super Beetle. SPECIFICATIONS - Dimensions: 15-1/2"W x 15-3/4"H x 7-5/8"D - Weight: 17.7 lb.Previous discussions have taken place here on TDPRI addressing the question of what current production amp, if any, can take the place of the now long discontinued Vox Pathfinder 15R. FEATURES - 15W of power - 8" Bulldog speaker - Gain boost - Tremolo - Spring reverb - 2-band EQ (treble, bass) - Tremolo speed and depth controls - Boost and tremolo are footswitchable Headphone output with internal speaker mute - Line out DI jack - Speaker out - Basket-weave vinyl - Diamond grille cloth - White piping - Gold beading - VOX sound to go, with all the style and great sound the name implies. ![]() It sports classic VOX cosmetics like basket-weave vinyl, diamond grille cloth, white piping, gold beading, and, of course, chicken head pointer knobs. The line out gives you a good sounding signal for recording/live work without having to mic up the amp. (See accessory box on this page.) In addition to a headphone output that mutes the internal speaker for practice, the rear panel also has a special filtered line out jack and a speaker out. Both the boost and tremolo are footswitchable via an optional VFS2 dual footswitch, offering you even more performance power. Its distinctive, maroon-colored top panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed, and Tremolo Depth. It features 15W of power, a single 8" Bulldog speaker, gain boost, tremolo, and spring reverb. This player-friendly combo packs a ton of top-notch features and killer VOX sound into a package that's affordable and easy to use. You won't have to dig deep to get great sound out of the VOX Pathfinder 15R Guitar Amp with Reverb. It's an ideal practice amp with pure VOX vibe. ![]()
