I decided I needed a practice amp to leave at my daughters in the US.
When I visit for longer periods I like to bring along an amp, guitar and a couple of pedals.
It is a pain in the butt taking them across the border, not to mention space.
I decided on the Vox Pathfinder because I had heard good reviews here, and on other sites.
I was able to track one down at Buckdancers Choice music Store in Portland Maine. It was a floor model but excellent shape and he threw in a couple of sets of strings and only charged me 100 bucks no tax.
I really don't expect much out of it but so far it sounds really good. I only plugged it in and made sure it all worked and I am pretty impressed with the tone already. I know it is an SS amp but it does sound very tube like and not sterile. I haven't used the BD2 with it yet and I brought a little Squier QMT Strat.
It also has a headphone jack so I can noodle away without waking up the new Baby. When he finally arrives! The wait is on, due on Wednesday.
It looks pretty cool as well, and I think it will be just what I need.
