    To my ears, this was not even close. The Vox was vastly superior. I'm completely non-partisan, since I've only had Marshall amps. I was curious about getting a practice amp for easier portability, and after watching this I would definitely get the Vox.

    Thank you for the excellent review. I just ordered my first bass, and included the Fender 10G Amp. Was looking for something compact that won't blow out the walls while I am practicing. Glad it has some clear crisp sound too. Once I get better, I can look at going from my beginner bass and equipment to the next level.
    Looks like a great start for sure.

    • @landonbailey
      @landonbailey  Před 6 lety +2

      hey congrats! Because the Fender 10G speaker isn't designed for bass guitar, make sure you keep it at a lower level. There's a chance of damaging the speaker at louder volumes. I recommend the Ampeg BA108 practive bass amp, which is what I have.

    I have the Vox Pathfinder 10w and it's very nice. I also have a Fender Frontman 15G and it's also very nice.

      Every amplifier doesn't sound good.
      There are different types of circuits for amplifiers, and quality of components. The frequency response isn't the same for all amplifier circuits and components either.
      Maybe you've damaged your hearing from playing too loud and just can't tell the difference.

Yeah there are better made amps with better speakers and better forms of sound amplification, but with the rigjt frequencies and in the right setting even a shitty amp can be good sounding.

      Peter would you describe both amps clean sound in comparison?

    • @gaboogablah
      @gaboogablah Před 5 lety +5

      There are class a and ab amplifiers that use transistors, a is linear and should clip on the positive and negative peaks equally at the same time. The ab is a push pull made to be as linear as possible but the problem occurs at the zero crossing of the signal, and besides the peak clip, the harmonic distortion comes at the zero crossing since one part amplifies the positive and one part the negative parts of the signal and the zero crossing are offset and don't make a perfect crossing for the signal and creates a distortion.
      So a clean pure sine wave which a guitar string makes with the pickup should go through the preamp class a, and then to the power amp class ab and reproduced without distortion.
      Then you put a fuzz box or effects pedal between the guitar and the preamp to shape your waveform to be amplified.
      So, of course if you want distortion and noise, yes even the cheapest amplifier can technically be a good amp, but if you want a good clean or correct representation of the signal you are putting in with the result of what you want out, the better the quality amplifier is also of course the better amplifier.
      Usually it's preferred to have a better quality amplifier and create your own signal than have a crappy amplifier that distorts your signal before you shape it the way you want it.
      I didn't go into tube amps since it applies to them also, or if solid state use a MOSFET which have the same characteristics as tubes.
      But a class a tube amp sounds louder than the same power ab tube amp and class a has lower plate voltage.
      Also, the reason we have fuzz boxes is the same reason the amplifier clips the signal like over driving a class a amplifier does. And that originally happened in tube amps because they weren't using transistors back then for guitar amps. And most people prefer tube characteristics over solid state as more appealing to the ear.

    The Fender Frontman was my first amp. It's an adequate practice amp, uninspiring, and what I deserved for not researching things better. That didn't scare me away from Fender however, because I just bought a Fender Champion 40 two weeks ago. It's a great amp for only twice the price of the little Frontman, and I'll be content now for quite a while. IF you can afford the coins and the space, the Champion is a whole 'nother ballgame while still being practice amp size.

    I love these amps! The first thing you Gotta do when you get a combo that is unplugged the cheap speaker that comes with. If you’re handy with woodworking and soldering you can build a small mini head. The only soldering Involves connecting a quarter inch speaker jack To the speaker leads coming out of your amplifier. My mini headstands about 6 inches tall and however wide and deep it is. The two speaker wires are connected to the jack which I installed in the back of my mini head. I’ve got a 212 cabinet rated at eight ohms. I even made my own speaker cable from what I learned on CZcams. I made one about 2 feet long to accommodate my set up. It’s double stranded & twisted. Just like me! LOL peace to all stay healthy and creative in these difficult times. Mike

    Really great video man you explained everything well. I personally thought the Vox smoked the fender on every level. Like you said “it sounds like a real amp”. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 14 and I’m now 21. Haven’t been able to play nearly as much now for the past year in a half or so considering I’m an active duty Marine and I need a cheap amp for my barracks room. The vox may just be the amp I invest in. Looks like a perfect amp for a room but we’ll see. I’ll definitely keep this amp in mind as I continue my research. Question. Do you the think the Vox is still good for overdrive? The fender just sounds cheap to me. I do play in a lot of clean but I definitely play a lot of rock and metal. Would you recommend an amp like this for rock or would you suggest a different one? Than you.

    Personal is as follows ... I am thinking of buying an amplifier I am researching and analyzed some. I like British rock, Oasis type, Beatles, rolling stones and some American bands. Do not cut heavy metal! Just classic rock !! The most interesting ones were the fender champion 40, orange ldx 35 and lastly Blackstar ID: Core 40
    Orange for lack of product and high price discarded !!
    So now I'm undecided between the fender champion 40 and the Blackstar ID: Core 40 (I'm not interested in valves) !!!
    The latter called me attention because it has a device that leaves with American sound (imitating a fender) or English, which I find super interesting
    What I did not like is that it has no knobs to adjust the bass, (more can be adjusted by the black star software!
    The Black Star is a little more expensive than the fender!
    What do you guys think ??

      @@landonbailey That's great thanks! I know how they sound in the room is different than all these YT reviews with mics, etc, and my local Long & McQuade doesn't have the Vox in stock so I can't test them myself. I sort of knew it would come down to the Boss, but I wanted to cover them all and be sure. I liked the Blackstar Fly3 as well, also battery-powered and (right now) about $60 cheaper, but with smaller speaker. And I'm OK with battery-powered and smaller amp for her - who knows if she'll even stick to it (fingers crossed she will). Thanks Landon, love your channel and your vibe, I subscribed for sure!

    Hi i am about to buy a guitar and an amp. My first set. I am not familiar with all these so i am trying to figure out some things through net. I noticed a difference between the specs of these two amps that is not mentioned in the video. The Fender has an aux in in order to plug a phone (or a pc?) and play a backtrack among with the guitar. As far i understood vox does not have an aux in. So my question is how someone use the vox and play a backtrack and the guitar simultaneously through amp Is that possible? If not what are the alternatives?

    • @landonbailey

  • @vaibanez17
    @vaibanez17 Před 5 lety +1

    I got this Vox about 6 years ago for $65 with tax, and the Vox is pretty good. My semihollow Tele with humbuckers through it with no other effects was able to get really nice full clean tones and on gain channel you can get a good classic rock rhythm or maybe 1960s lead, and maxed out you can sound exactly like the Beatles Revolution. Love that thing. I have better amps but still plug into it sometimes bc i just love Vox amps but dont have an AC-15 or 30 yet.

  • @alanshadyvally
    @alanshadyvally Před 4 lety +1

    If you add an external speaker Jack to the vox it is a killer sounding amp. You can't mount the Jack to the chassis though. I took an old end jack plate from a guitar and mounted it to the back panel. I run my pedel board through it but it sounds really great with just a reverb pedel and the amps drive by itself. I know most people won't do this but if you have one you will love it after doing this. The crappy little internal speaker is junk.

    I have them both, easy the Vox wins, it has the real tone. Fender sounds chunky and boxy, of course it has fender intended tone but it's a beginner amp. Lando maybe you should do a comparison between of the Pathfinder 10 and the Fender Champion 20, they are more in the same league. Thanks for the video anyway it is very well done, you can hear the actual differences, at least I can relate that's how the Vox sounds amazingly on the cleans, and how it sucks in the overdrive, maybe because of the limited speaker size.

    The Fender sells just because of the name, but not quality.
    The Vox speaker is a 6 inch, 8 ohm speaker, is a half inch larger and apparently is a Vox speaker, the fender says special design 4 ohm speaker, but probably has a generic Chinese speaker.
    Special design sugar coats Chinese crap quality.
