For connection to an alternative speaker cabinet. This gives you a good sounding signal for recording/live work without having to mic up the amp. Specially filtered line level signal output. The headphone jack on the rear panel mutes the built-in speaker and lets the guitarist play 'silently' at any time. On/Off switch for mains (AC) power to amplifier.

Reverb Control (Only on Pathfinder 15R.) This control enables you to vary the level of the built-in spring Reverb.

Controls the intensity of the built in tremolo. You can also control the tremolo function remotely with the optional VFS2 Footswitch. Controls the speed at which the built in tremolo oscillates. Adjusts the lower frequencies or bass in your tone, from warm and light at one extreme to dark and heavy at the other.

Adjusts the higher frequencies or treble in your tone, from soft and full at one extreme to bright and cutting at the other. Lower the level when setting the Gain control high for distortion. You can turn this function on and off remotely with the optional VFS2 Footswitch. Set higher for crunch and distortion sounds and lower for cleaner tones. Standard 1/4' jack for guitar connection. The Pathfinder 15R is identical to the Pathfinder 15 but also features an onboard Spring Reverb system with a Reverb control that adjusts the level of the effect.

Pathfinder 15R вЂ“ 15 Watt, 1 x 8' Combo with Reverb, plus Footswitchable Gain Boost & Tremolo In addition to a Headphone output that mutes the internal speaker for вЂsilentвЂ™ practice, the rear panel also has a specially filtered Line Out jack for recording/live work and an External Speaker output as well. The Pathfinder 15 produces 15 Watts of power that drives a specially voiced 8' VOX Bulldog speaker. Both the Gain Boost and the built-in Tremolo are footswitchable via an optional, VOX VFS2 dual footswitch, offering you even more performance power. Its distinctive, maroon coloured top panel features a Gain Boost switch plus controls for Volume, Gain, Treble, Bass, Tremolo Speed and Tremolo Depth. The Pathfinder 15 houses a wonderful sounding, vintage Tremolo effect and is extremely versatile when it comes to tone. Like other family members, it sports typical VOX characteristics like basket-weave vinyl, diamond grille cloth, white piping, gold beading and, of course, вЂchicken headвЂ™ pointer knobs. I tried out several solid-state practice amps in the 100-200 price range. It's not designed or intended for heavy-metal or thrash-punk. It is well suited for Beatles, Byrds, Tom Petty, REM, and simliar modern-retro styles. With the classic good looks of its bigger brothers, the new 15-Watt, 1 x 8' Pathfinder 15 combo packs a profusion of VOX style and sound into a highly compact and affordable package. This Pathfinder 15R really nails that vintage VOX Brit-Rock sound 100. I believe this amp amp is no longer in production.
