PRS Archon 50 50W 1 x 12-in Tube Combo Amp
FREE SHIPPING
The Archon's responsive tone and note separation are exceptional, whether playing on the clean channel or chugging on the lead. In summary, the Archon 50 offers rich, sweeping gain, a remarkable clean channel, and a versatile control layout that will please players of all genres.
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 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. 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.

By utilizing the global presence and depth controls in the Archon's power amp section, the feedback network of the amp can be modified to unlock the full potential of the high and low frequencies. As the Presence control is increased, there is a release of high-mid and treble frequencies, resulting in a more prominent tone. Depending on the tone stack and volume settings, this can also impact the gain, texture, and volume of the high-end, resulting in a richer and more dimensional sound. Similarly, the Depth control adds low-end and a resonant quality to these frequencies, further shaping the Archon's unique tone.
