PRS Archon 50 50W 1 x 12-inch Guitar Tube Combo Amp

Modern aggression and vintage chime in one

The original Archon combos set a new benchmark for modern amps, delivering the searing high gain Irvine Art & Music metallers crave at bedroom levels without any tonal compromise. The new Archon 50 excels at this, with a versatility that's perfect for both overdriven and crystal-clean amp tones. Its lead channel delivers the full spectrum of hard rock and metal tones, perfect for everything from tight crunch to screaming leads and unrelenting sonic destruction. Switch channels, and you'll experience a tone that is both clean and rich, ideal for adding in pedals to color your sound but with enough character to stand out on its own. Best of all, the Archon 50 accomplishes this with a singing clarity that retains the subtle nuances of your playing and ensures that every note rings loud and clear. 

Simple design leads you straight to sonic paradise

PRS kept things simple as possible in constructing the Archon 50's control set. It's loaded with just the right number of tweakable knobs and features to dial in studio-quality sounds in seconds flat. Both channels feature a highly musical 3-band EQ to dial in your preferred tone, along with a handy bright switch to transparently boost your high ends without ever sounding too shrill or piercing. Global presence and control knobs further shape your sound, with the presence knob accenting both mid and high frequencies and the control knob increasing the low-end response while adding a beautiful dimension to your playing. The true beauty of the Archon 50 is just how easy it is to get killer tones right out of the box — open it up, set everything to noon, adjust your volume accordingly, and bask in its glory. 

An easy addition to any rig

Thanks to its extensive professional feature set, the Archon 50 easily integrates into virtually any guitar rig. You get an additional output with a toggle for 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm extension speakers, so you can connect whatever type of speaker cabinet you prefer. And just like every PRS amp, the Archon 50 has direct-access bias points on the back panel for quick, convenient tube maintenance.
