WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
The Pathfinder 10 keeps things simple.
There are no menus, presets or complicated effects sections — just straightforward guitar amplification with enough control to move between bright clean sounds and more aggressive overdrive.
Its small size also makes it particularly practical for home practice where a larger valve amplifier would simply be unnecessary.
DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS
10-Watt Solid-State Power
The Pathfinder 10 provides 10 watts RMS into 8 ohms.
This gives it plenty of volume for home practice while keeping the amplifier compact and manageable.
6.5" Vox Bulldog Speaker
The amplifier uses a single 6.5" Vox Bulldog speaker.
The compact speaker provides a focused response that suits practice volumes and the bright, articulate character associated with Vox amplifiers.
Clean / Overdrive Switch
A dedicated switch changes between Clean and Overdrive operation.
Clean mode provides the clearer, more open response, while Overdrive adds extra gain and saturation.
Gain Control
The Gain control sets the amount of preamp drive.
Lower settings keep the amplifier cleaner, while higher settings add progressively more grit and distortion.
Treble Control
The Treble control adjusts the upper-frequency response.
Higher settings add extra brightness and attack, while lower settings soften the sound.
Bass Control
The Bass control shapes the low-frequency response.
This allows the amplifier to be adjusted for different guitars, rooms and playing volumes.
Volume Control
The Volume control sets the overall output level.
This allows the amount of gain and the final loudness of the amplifier to be balanced independently.
HEADPHONE / LINE OUTPUT
The Pathfinder 10 includes a Headphone / Line Out connection.
This can be used for quiet headphone practice or to send the amplifier signal to compatible recording equipment.
This makes the Pathfinder particularly useful for late-night practice and simple home recording setups.

The Pathfinder 10 features many of the visual details associated with larger Vox amplifiers, including:
-
Diamond-style grille cloth

Basket-weave appearance

White piping
-
Chicken-head control knobs

HOW IT COMPARES
Pathfinder 10 vs Larger Guitar Combo
A larger amplifier will provide more volume, headroom and low-end response.
The Pathfinder 10 focuses instead on portability and sensible home-practice volume.
Clean vs Overdrive Mode
Clean mode provides a clearer and more open response.
Overdrive mode adds extra gain for rock, blues and more aggressive sounds.
Pathfinder 10 vs Modelling Amp
A modelling amplifier may offer dozens of amp types and effects.
The Pathfinder 10 offers a simpler traditional layout that is quick and intuitive to use.

Most commonly paired with: Stratocasters, Telecasters, semi-hollow guitars, overdrive pedals and simple practice setups.
