![]() ![]() These guys are always in the signal path stock and give the fuzzy distortion character whenever the gain is up more than a little. If I ever do this again, I’ll try to report the additional steps.Ħ) Locate the LEDs. I’d suggest doing it the long way, but I don’t have those steps handy. With my way, you’re at risk of doing something bad bending the pots to the point of damage. Smarter move would be to remove the other components at the bottom side of the chassis, particularly the power transformer, so the board would more easily slide down and out. These hold the mounting bracket that the PCB is attached to.ĥ) If you’re a lazy idiot like me, gingerly try to wriggle the pcb and the pots out from the chassis so you can get at the component side of the pcb. Never figured for the plastic nut on the jack since I could just unscrew it with my hand.Ĥ) See the two little screws roughly on line above the speaker wires? Unscrew them, retaining them and their lock washers. 10mm socket wrench for the pot nuts on mine. Remove the nuts holding the pots to the chassis and the nut from the input jack. The real gotcha is make sure you don’t let a corner of the chassis rip the cone of the speaker, since that would suck.ģ) Remove the knobs by pulling them straight up off of the pot shafts. Carefully because now the chassis is rattling around loose. Skip ahead to step 6 if that’s your game plan.Ģ) Carefully remove the two screws in line with the knobs that are all that is holding the chassis to the cabinet. #VOX PATHFINDER 10 LED MOD MOD#If your PCB looks exactly like mine and you don’t want to do the trem mod (and you should really want to do the trem mod because it’s awesome) you can just locate and desolder the LEDs and let them rattle out the back, possibly with some light tilting/shaking. No guarantees that yours will have the same board layout, though others seem to, including some Vietnamese made amps.)ġ) Unplug the power. Original thread here: ĭe-construction and LED mod steps. ![]() Better than this, TweedBassman, the man behind Penny Pedals, came up with a mod for deeper tremolo. I took these pics and detailed the instructions for a thread at. The ever popular LED mod for the solid-state Vox Pathfinder amps, now sadly discontinued. ![]()
