![]() ![]() The cleats are some kind of Masonite and I redrilled mine to move the baffle retaining screws inward as some were very close to the edge of the baffle, which is a mdf material and sort of crumbly. ![]() Nashvilles Tim Carroll turns a mite of a Vox into a mighty rock n roll dragon slayer. Some PFs have a cleat across the bottom to attach the baffle, which will also need trimming away, but mine only had side and top cleats. AugTim Carrolls amp 'A,' one of his fleet of trusty Vox Pathfinder 15Rs, miked and ready to rock. I demonstrate a Vox Pathfinder 15R guitar amp with a Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty. The hole ends up being flat on the top so you can stay below the gold front trim strip. I cut mine from the back side using a jig saw. The Pathfinder features spring reverb and ample tonal control for great sound. You will have to remove a lot of staples so you can flip the bottom of the cloth out of the way. Vox Pathfinder 15R V9168R Guitar Combo Amplifier (15 Watts, 1x8') Put your tone in good hands with the Vox Pathfinder 15R. As long as you do careful marking, you can cut the 10" hole leaving the grille cloth attached at the top of the baffle. I had to remove the bell cover on the Weber. G10 Vintage is definitely an improvement and helps bring out the Vox qualities very nicely. While I like the 10' Bulldog speakers, they're not very loud or efficient (I have them in the 210 Pathfinder stack). I removed it and replaced it with a hard-to-find NOS Accutronics USA 8EB2C1B (short 3-spring) tank, loosely attached to the amp cab's inside floor with wood screws through four silicone grommets. I think G10 Vintage is the best speaker for Vox style amps. tosh: Agreed, the flimsy stock reverb unit in the VOX Pathfinder 15R sounds hissy and not very reverbish. It is an easy mod, but you first want to check the depth of the speaker and diameter of the magnet do not foul the chassis. Don't use any American-flavored speakers. EDIT: just in case, also replace those 2 1N4002 connected from TDA pin 4 (speaker output) to +/-20V rails. I did this as well, fitting first a WGS Veteran 10 and then a Weber Silver Ten alnico. Mount the new TDA20xx, with proper mica and grease if needed, the screw will probably be insulated with a small nylon nipple. ![]()
