collapse expand iconDescription

The PRS Archon 50 tube amp head is a commanding 2-channel 50W 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 50 is powered by two 6CA7 power tubes, which fall between EL34 and 6L6 tubes, offering the best of both worlds. 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. A 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.

    I bought one of these about a month and a half ago, sounded great. During band rehersal I smelled a very faint electrical burning smell. Didnt think much of it until I powered the amp on the next day. Got no sound. Checked fuses and tubes...all were fine. Something overheated in the amp.

    The add says the amp has two power settings, 25W and 50W. However, PRS doesn't list a 25W option with their latest Archon 50W release and I don't see a switch anywhere on the unit like on the older versions to go to 25W. Please clarify.

    I’m very sorry for the confusion. It no longer has the option. Thank you for pointing that out. I will pass it on to our web team.

    Hello! Does this Head come with a foot switch? If not, am I correct to assume that the PRS Archon Footswitch on the PRS accessories website will work? I am having trouble finding options anywhere else. Thank you!
