Description

The PRS Archon 50 combo amp is a commanding 2-channel, 50-watt amp with versatile overdriven tones and sparkling cleans with plenty of headroom. Designed with five gain stages before the master volume, the Archon’s lead channel is voiced to cover everything from classic rock to metal with full, lush distortion. The clean channel provides rich tones that retain clarity even at high volume with remarkably responsive tone.

The PRS Archon is powered by two 6CA7 power tubes, which fall between EL34 and 6L6 tubes, offering the best of both worlds. The 1x12 combo features a single Celestion V-type speaker with full, extended lows and a sweet midrange. Compact and portable, the Archon combo amp is perfect for use in the home, at the studio and for gigs with a control layout that allows for detailed and intuitive tone shaping. Each channel features volume, treble, middle, bass and master volume controls as well as a bright switch. A 3-band EQ lets players dial-in their desired tone, while the volume and master controls work together to command the amp’s distortion and loudness. The Archon 50 delivers full, lush gain, a remarkable clean channel and a versatile control layout that players of all genres will appreciate.

    After searching for my next amp for nearly 2 years, I am glad to have one of these for my own. This offers total control of the tone without relying on any frills or digital extras. The Archon can cover decades of styles and genres by just swapping channels and incorporating pedals.

    This amp sounds amazing on both the lead and clean channels. Absolute monster high gain and really good cleans too. Master volume works really well for home use.

    This was part of a plexi quest for a classic rock it is marketed for metal.. wrong.. it is so much more... I get a very usable clean and crushing crunch. Lots of controls to dial precise sounds fairly quickly and pedal friendly. It has an answers for the ice pick hated from fender and the fizz of a marshall.. give this one a spin.
