My Ampeg PF-500 could blow the roof off the house if it was fully cranked but I can also turn it down so that it’s whisper quiet, probably quieter than the Pathfinder in fact.
The thing with modern D class amps is that they are fully scalable and sound just as good at any volume. If all you want is a low volume practice amp it will fulfill that brief, but that is all it will ever do. I would think carefully about buying one. The most distracting thing about this is that it does indeed have a fairly hollow sound as Paul mentioned, almost like there is a bit of constant reverb dialled in - no doubt due to the open back but it can get a bit annoying (unless you really like hollow reverb Shadows/Beach Boys type sounds). I was hoping to be able to get a bit of crunch by manipulating the drive with the volume but at higher volumes the sound just gets nasty and ill-defined. I only put my passive Jazz through it but I couldn’t really get a great deal of tone variations out of it even with the bright boost and cut. speaker-wise it comes with 2 four inch driversĪs far as sounds go it produces a fairly clean tone at low volume which is perfect for practice. I wouldn’t want to put a hot bass in a Pathfinder. I don’t know it your Yammy is passive or active but if its quite a hot active bass you might want to look for an amp with a second padded input. There is only one input so no second padded input.
I reckon it weighs as much as my Ampeg Pf-500 amp head.Ĭontrol wise you get drive, treble, bass and volume, a bright boost and a headphone socket.
The case is solid wood, it has a proper fabric grill cloth and a nice red metal control panel on the top like the old vintage Vox’s.

This won’t be a very full review because I’ve literally taken five minutes out from work to quickly noodle on it.įirstly it’s a good looking amp. Your question inspired me to dig it out to see what I think of it today. I have a Pathfinder 10 Bass that I bought several years ago and put in the attic shortly afterwards when I upgraded.
