Rare, sought-after Vox Pathfinder 15R combo amplifier Model V9168R with the original Vox footswitch included. This is an exceptionally nice example of the classic Pathfinder 15R, complete with the matching foot controller that allows you to switch the tremolo and reverb on and off from the floor.

The Pathfinder 15R has become a highly regarded amp among guitarists who appreciate its combination of classic Vox character, simplicity, reliability and surprisingly impressive tone from a compact 15-watt combo.

Serial number is 035815, and features the desirable original black/dark Vox diamond-pattern grille cloth with its distinctive colored weave.

Based on the serial number, construction and cosmetic characteristics, this appears to be an early Pathfinder 15R, likely from approximately 2004–2007. The exact production year cannot be confirmed from the serial number alone, so I have intentionally not represented it as a definitively dated 2004 model.

The Pathfinder 15R delivers the unmistakable Vox-inspired sound these amps are known for — from clean sparkle and chime to warm, gritty overdrive.
