The Treble Control allows you to add clarity and sparkle or dial it back for a smoother, mellower top-end. Conversely, the Bass Control lets you adjust the low-end response, ranging from tight and punchy to deep and resonant.The Volume Control sets the overall output level of the amplifier, enabling you to achieve a full, clean sound at higher volumes or a rich, distorted tone at lower levels when paired with the Overdrive mode and increased Gain.Lastly, the Pathfinder 10 includes a Power ON/OFF Switch with an accompanying LED indicator, ensuring you can easily see when the amp is powered and ready to go.The Vox V9106 Pathfinder 10 Guitar Combo Amplifier is not just an amplifier; it's a gateway to a world of tonal possibilities, all packed into a compact and stylish unit that resonates with VOX's legendary heritage.
