1. Input Section
This, believe it or not, is where you plug your guitar into
the amp! Make sure you use a good quality guitar cable
to do this.
2. Gain
This adjusts the overall preamp gain of the amplifier.
Turning this control up (clockwise) will produce crunchy,
distorted tones that range from mild to mayhemic! On the
other hand, turning the Gain down (counter clockwise)
will clean up your sound nicely. The possibilities are
endless I tell ya!
3. Boost On/Off Switch
Want more Gain? If your answer is “yes” simply press this
button in for an instant boost! Even cooler is this - you
can turn this function on and off with the optional VFS-2
Dual Footswitch. Go out and buy a VFS-2 right
away…you know you want one!
4. Master Volume.
Amazingly enough, this one determines the overall
volume of the amplifier – hence its name! Setting this
control high while keeping the Gain low works well for
clean sounds, while setting the Master Volume lower and
turning up the Gain will give you a fat, distorted sound at
a lower, “bedroom friendly” volume.
5. Treble Control
This adjusts the treble frequencies in your tone. It can
take your sound from soft and round, to bright and
cutting, and any point in-between.
6. Bass Control
This adjusts the bass frequencies in your tone. It can take
your sound from warm and light, to dark and heavy and
any point in-between.
7. Tremolo Speed
This control enables you to control the speed of the built-
in Tremolo effect. To add to the flexibility of this wonderful,
vintage-flavoured effect, it is footswitchable via the
optional VOX VFS-2 footswitch – now you have to get
one, right?
IMPORTANT NOTE: What is Tremolo? A common
misconception in the six-string world is that “Tremolo”
is an effect that alters the pitch of the note(s) being
played – this is NOT true! What Tremolo actually does
is vary the volume of the note(s) being played,
resulting in a cool, pulsating sound.
8. Tremolo Depth
This control enables you to vary the depth (intensity) of
the built-in Tremolo effect.
9. Reverb Control (Only on Pathfinder 15R)
This control enables you to vary the level of the built-in
spring Reverb – from subtle to surf!
10. Power Switch
Umm…this is how you turn on power to the amplifier.
Assuming it’s plugged in to a working outlet, of course!! It
is plugged into a working outlet right? Good…
