Vox Pathfinder 15R

[Brian Krashpad]

actually my little 15 watt line 6 played in front of about 800 kids at my talent show and it was a little over halfway up and you could hear me.

(though The mics on the cieling could have picked it up)

Were you playing with a drummer?

If so s/he was playing awful softly.

No way a 15W SS could cut it with any of the drummers I've played with over the years. Not un-mic'd.

Nice review, Duff. I always wondered about the little Voxes...

I wouldn't recommend a 15 watt solid state amph for gigging. I played on a Fender Frontman 25 watt SS amph and was able to be heard over a drummer, but that thing was cranked.

For a church setting at lower volumes (unless y'all rawk out), a 50 - 75 watt SS amph should do okay, especially if mic'd.

My 120 watt Crate is loud enough to play country gigs at any of the clubs in my area and still be heard, without a mic at the speaker.

A little late for a reply on this.. but on my honeymoon i went to Cancun, one weekend we wen't to the island of Cozumel and decided to rent a scooter to drive ariund the island (1 hour travel round the island).
On our little trip we came across a local coffee/restaurant/bar with a live cover band playing so we had to stop and take a look.
The band played ok, some songs came out better than others and played mainly rock and reggae tunes.
The guitarist played thru a Vox Pathfinder 15 (without reverb) and the Line 6 red-bean processor. The amp hold out pretty good and clear (at the time i had the Vox AD30VT) and was surprised to find out how loud this little amp sounded... tha band was playing outdoors BTW.
So after that experience i sold the AD30, bought a 15R with a Digitech RP250 to handle all the gadgets if i ever feel to fool around... basically i enjoy playing it directly.
Right now besides the 15R i own a Crate V5 waiting to be modded (see thread).

Here's the pic of the Cozumel band, couldn't catch the name of the band so, no plug here.
