All our PRS guitars and amps come from the offical UK distributor and include full UK WarrantyOn shop display, may not have original box.This is the American made amp, not the latest version made in Indonesia.
Condition : ExcellentDescription :Greek for “ruler” or “lord,” the PRS Archon is a commanding 2-channel
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, and there is ample headroom,
creating an excellent platform for pedals. The Archon has remarkably
responsive tone with incredible note separation, whether you’re playing
on the clean channel or chugging on the lead.
The PRS Archon is powered by two 6CA7 power tubes, which fall between
EL34 and 6L6 tubes, offering the best of both worlds. 6CA7’s are warm,
full, and articulate with smooth high end and tight low end. They chug,
distort, and get heavy without over-saturating, and they sing without
becoming harsh. The 1x12 combo features a single Celestion V-type
speaker, offering full, extended lows and sweet midrange. The
compactness and portability of a “grab and go” combo design is also
great for players who bring their amp along to rehearsals, studio time,
and gigs.
Utilizing a ‘no flash or trash’ approach, the Archon’s control layout
allows for detailed and intuitive tone shaping. Each channel features
volume, treble, middle, bass, and master volume controls as well as a
bright switch. The 3-band EQ lets players better dial-in their desired
tone, while the volume and master controls work together to command the
amp’s distortion and loudness. The bright switch acts almost as a treble
boost, putting a shine on the amp’s high-end without going into icepick
territory. The global presence and depth controls in the Archon’s power
amp section both work to modify the feedback network of the amp to
unleash the potential of the high- and low-end respectively. Turning up
the Presence control releases more high- mid and treble frequencies,
bringing the amp’s tone forward. Depending on the tone stack and volume
settings, the Presence can change the gain/ texture and loudness of the
high-end, making your tone wilder and more 3-dimensional (or more
“present” sounding). In addition to adding low-end, Depth adds a
resonance to those frequencies that more 3-dimensionally shapes the
Archon’s tone.
Bottom Line: The Archon 50 delivers full, lush gain, a remarkable
clean channel, and a versatile control layout that players of all genres
will appreciate.
