PRS Paul Reed Smith Archon 50 All-tube Guitar Amplifier Head, 50W/25W (Switchable), 6L6 Power Tubes - Stealth Black
PRS Paul Reed Smith Archon 50 All-tube Guitar Amplifier Head, 50W/25W (Switchable), 6L6 Power Tubes - Stealth Black
The Power of Versatility
The Archon 50 continues the Archon’s promise of delivering full, lush gain while offering a clean channel that players of all genres will appreciate. With 50 watts, switchable to 25 via the amp’s back panel, the Archon 50 breaks up at a lower volume, resulting in a more classically driven tone than its predecessor.
6L6 power tubes allows players to further personalize the tone and feel of the Archon 50. 6L6 tubes offer plenty of versatility and warmer, more balanced tone across the full range of frequencies. They will also push with less saturation for a bit of a sweeter, smoother tone.
Now offered as a head or a 1x12 combo (with a Celestion G12-75T speaker), the Archon 50 can back players from metal to rock to country to blues.
