![]() ![]() Sadly the amp is no more, not long after making the original post I did start using it as a practice amp in rehearsal studios and halls with some old friends. apologies but, my mistake, it is (rather was) 9159 … this amp rear pic showing 9159 was in my original post, but here it is again, see below. Thanks for reading & sorry for the confusion and my limited knowledge of the English language.Ĭamfinder & LGOberean …. So please, dear PF-users out there, is there anyone with a V9169 or V9158R? Also I have never seen the model V9158R (early Pathfinder with reverb). ![]() So if there ever was a V9169 that must have been in 2000/2001. The 2002 pricelist proves the existance of a V9168 (Pathfinder / no reverb) and a V9168R (Pathfinder / reverb). In the 1999 VOX pricelist there is a V9158 (Pathfinder / no reverb) and a V9159 (Cambridge). This is the only semi-official site mentioning a V9169: I am pretty sure that I searched the entire internet for a V9169, but I couldn't find one. When they were really existent there shouldn't be many of them. I have never seen a V9169 - which should be the later version of a Cambridge V9159 - before. But could you please confirm, that the name plate of your Cambridge really stated that it is/was a V9169. I know that you wrote this two years ago. ![]() I'm going to get some contact cleaner and keep working a quarter inch jack plug into the input, and hopefully the problem won't recur. I have long hair, my wife has long hair, and we have two cats and a dog, so one of us is always shedding. I've never had a dust cover for my PF15Rs, and dust and hair are a problem. I'm thinking (hoping) now that it might be as simple as an issue of grit in the input. The last several times I've plugged into it, no noticeable "fizz" or volume drop. And to my surprise and great pleasure, it seems to be improving. Well, I've continued to plug into this amp, trying to see if the problem is persisting, or getting worse. If I kept playing through it when this phenomenon occurred, the volume level would come back up again, but before long might drop out again.Īs I said, I have two other 15Rs that I can gig with or plug into at home, but a problem with even one of the three is still disconcerting. And just as troubling, if not more so, was a volume drop. Here on TDPRI a lot people use that adjective to describe the character of an amp's gain "sounding fizzy." So to clarify once again, I'm referring to clean settings that have a sound reminiscent of effervescence, like an amplified carbonated beverage. I described the sound as "fizzy," but that may be misleading. Earlier this month I talked about one of my 3 Pathfinder 15Rs (a Vietnamese model with brown grill cloth) acting up. ![]()
