PRS Archon 50-Watt Two-Channel Tube Amp Head

Greek for “ruler” or “lord,” the PRS Archon 50 is a commanding 50-watt, two-channel all-tube amplifier head designed to serve as a massive tonal anchor. This particular unit is in mint, unused condition—offering brand-new performance and cosmetic pristine quality, complete with the included 1-button footswitch. It does not include the original box, but it will be meticulously packed and shipped securely to ensure it arrives safely at your door.

Tone & Dynamics

Powered by a pair of JJ 6CA7 power tubes, the Archon sits right in the sweet spot between EL34 and 6L6 character: warm, punchy midrange paired with tight, articulate low-end punch. Driven by six 12AX7 preamp tubes, both channels deliver incredible note separation and clarity across all gain levels.

  • Clean Channel: Features massive headroom and pristine transparency, making it an ideal pedal platform for heavy modulation, delay, and gain staging without premature breakup.

  • Lead Channel: Designed with five gain stages before the master volume for lush, saturated overdrive that maintains full chord definition even under heavy high-gain tracking.

Front & Rear Controls

  • Independent EQ & Bright Control: Dedicated Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass, and Master controls for each channel, along with individual Bright switches to add top-end sparkle.

  • Global Presence & Depth: Power-amp feedback shaping to fine-tune high-frequency bite and low-end cabinet resonance.

  • Series Effects Loop: Transparent, tube-driven FX loop built for seamless integration with time-based effects and pedalboards.

  • Speaker Output: Parallel speaker jacks with switchable 4, 8, and 16-ohm operation for flexible cab pairing.
