PRS Archon 50 1×12 Combo, (Used)

The PRS Archon 50 1×12 Combo is a high‑gain guitar amplifier that combines 50 watts of all‑tube power with a single 12‑inch speaker in a compact combo enclosure. Its circuitry features four 12AX7 preamp tubes and two EL34 power tubes to deliver a range of tones from pristine cleans to saturated high‑gain distortion with tight lows, rich mids, and articulate highs. The control layout includes independent Gain, Treble, Mid, Bass, and Presence controls that let players tailor both clean and lead voices, along with Master Volume and a bright switch for added high‑end clarity.

The single 12‑inch speaker is voiced to complement the Archon’s tonal character, offering punch and clarity suitable for loftier gain settings while retaining definition in cleaner settings. The combo’s front panel also includes push‑pull functions on some controls to access additional voicing options, and there is a footswitch jack for engaging channel switching or other assignable functions during performance. Construction uses a rugged, road‑ready chassis with a protective grille and traditional tube combo styling.

Power options on the Archon 50 include standard mains operation with a built‑in power transformer, and the rear panel houses speaker outputs compatible with extension cabinets if additional projection is desired. The amplifier’s headroom and response characteristics are designed to suit a broad range of genres—from blues and rock to heavier modern styles—making it a versatile choice for stage or studio settings where both clarity and gain versatility are valued.
