Greek for 'ruler' or 'lord,' PRS Archon 50 Combo 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, 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. Archon has remarkably responsive tone with incredible note separation, whether you're playing on the clean channel or chugging on the lead.

 

PRS Archon is powered by two 6CA7 power tubes, which fall between EL34 and 6L6 tubes, offering the best of both worlds. 6CA7s 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 1×12 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, 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 Archon's power amp section both work to modify the feedback network of the amp to unleash the potential of the high and low ends 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 Archon's tone.

Bottom line: PRS Archon 50 Combo delivers full, lush gain, a remarkable clean channel and a versatile control layout that players of all genres will appreciate.
