Two-channel high-gain all valve amp with 50 watts

With the PRS Archon 50 Combo Paul Reed Smith sends a 50 watt all-tube combo with Celestion V-Type speaker into the race, whose flexible sound is best suited for classic and modern styles. Two channels with up to five gain stages in front of the volume control deliver juicy clean and distortion sounds, while an effects loop completes the amp's features.

Clean and Lead channel for versatile sounds

The Archon 50's Clean channel delivers a particularly rich and warm sound with enormous transparency. Thanks to the unmatched headroom, the Clean channel also profiles as the perfect base for effects pedals of all kinds. In the Lead channel, on the other hand, the Archon by PRS delivers juicy distortion with a modern, very tight voicing. Accordingly, first-class rock and metal sounds are available, which do not go to the knees even with deep tunings and extended range guitars.

Precise ways to customize the sound

In addition to the Gain and Master controls, each channel of the PRS Archon 50 comes with its own 3-band tone control to precisely adjust the sound. In addition, Presence and Depth controls are available in the output stage to influence the playback behavior of the highs and lows.

6CA7 power amp with 50 watts, Celestion V-Type

The power amplifier of the PRS Archon is based on two 6CA7 tubes, which lie between the popular EL34 and 6L6 and thus promise a particularly present and balanced sound. With 50 watts, the head delivers sufficient volume for band practice or gigs. The Celestion V-Type speaker housed in the semi-open cabinet also promises a smooth and balanced output of the guitar sound.
