I figure the aesthetic alone will win the GF over as a furniture accent piece, she loves quirky, vintage looking flea market finds in odd corners of the house...but how does it stack up in real bedroom amp terms ?

Ahh...that's the head version of the venerable Pathfinder 15R, an amp nobody can understand why Vox discontinued production. Fantastic little amp .I kick myself as I had the chance to buy the combo for about $35 bucks a long time ago and I walked away with some crappy Ibanez junk.

I've lusted after an AC15 for awhile. Especially because of the tremolo circuit and blue or vintage white tolex option. But I'm afraid it's just not a bedroom/ living room amp. But someday I might do it anywaytonebender wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 11:29 am I bought a Pathfinder back in the late 90's (I think). I actually gigged with that rascal from time to time. That and an old Peavey were the only two SS amps I ever had that I liked. I gigged with a Vox AC15 and kallion times over the years and owned one twice. It was one of those pieces of gear that you sell then regret, then re-buy. That mini stack looks awesome. My BIL had one of the huge Beatles model back in the 70's.
My AC15 is my favorite amp. I'd say it's a living room amp when you're in the bedroom (long cable or wireless).Tonray's Ghost wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 12:53 pm I've lusted after an AC15 for awhile.

In Thailand they have what they call 'knockdown' house/ buildings. Essentially they're prefab mini houses and people use them for all types of purposes. We have a small side yard but just big enough to drop one of these prefab 'guitar rooms' in once we pour a slab. GF is on with it as long as you make the outside look like a faux coffeehouse and add a few coffeehouse items inside. Someday that AC15 might have a realBatUtilityBelt wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 6:33 pmMy AC15 is my favorite amp.

My first attempt at snagging one was forgetting when the Goodwill auction ended (pickup only). It went for $125. I think I paid $250 for this (4x8?).Tonray's Ghost wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2024 3:29 amAhh...that's the head version of the venerable Pathfinder 15R, an amp nobody can understand why Vox discontinued production.
