Due to the size, weight and fragility of this amplifier, we are offering it as COLLECTION ONLY from our Ashton-under-Lyne store.
 
Here for sale we have a PRS Archon 25 Valve combo amplifier. Built in the USA, the Archon 25 brings the ‘king’ of PRS high-gain amplification to the world of small, low wattage tube amps. The Archon’s lush distortion and singing clean channel tones are all here in a 25 watt package (switchable to 13 watts via the back panel). The Archon 25’s wattage makes the amp easier to push to optimum performance – tube amps sound best when pushed a little – and it gets there at a lower volume, which is a huge benefit not only at home, but also in the studio and on the stage. Recording with an amp at lower volumes allows for a cleaner signal and a truer tone, and keeps the soundman happy by not blowing out the other members of the band.
 
The Archon 25 features Volume, Treble, Middle, and Bass controls for each channel. There is also a Master Volume control for each channel and global Depth and Presence for added control. The Archon’s 6L6/EL34 tube option is replaced here with 5881’s, which offer extended high end while maintaining the Archon’s signature crunch.
PRS Artist Emil Werstler on the Archon 25 Combo, “It’s a pretty surprising amp. One of the main reasons I play this amp is that it has a rare feature for a high gain amp, and that is that it actually has a clean channel. It’s very lightweight, and you can drive external cabinets with it. It feels the same [as the original Archon]. The only difference is it’s obviously very small and you can’t complain about carting it upstairs anymore.”
Bottom line, the Archon 25 keeps all the tone and flexibility of the Archon family intact, is a little more forgiving than its 100 and 50 watt big brothers, and won’t break your back every time you load in for a gig.

“PRS Archon 25-watt Tube Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
 
Aggressive modern tone with a classic playing response
Two channels of sonic mayhem
Professional features and high-class tone
Aggressive modern tone with a classic playing response
Following in the success of the 100-watt and 50-watt Archon models that came before it, this 25-watt Archon combo amp is designed to give you the same modern tone but with the playing feel of a lower-powered amp. You'll both hear and feel the Archon breathe and loosen up a bit when you really dig into your guitar. And when you switch to 13-watt mode, you can get those same cranked-amp tones at lower volumes. Basically, this is the Archon you want if you're after high-gain tone with the responsive feel and reined-in volume of a lower-wattage amplifier.
 
Two channels of sonic mayhem
The amp gurus at PRS decided it was time for an amp that excels at the heavier side of music. From drop-tuned chugging to over-the-top shred solos, the 25-watt Archon delivers the heavy sounds you need with extreme clarity. Every note of every chord is clear and defined, no matter how heavy your distortion. The clean channel goes from warm jazz tones to pristine clean. Guitarists at Sweetwater agree that amps rarely encompass both sides of the spectrum this well. And if you cut the power down to 13 watts, you get the same killer tone at volumes more appropriate for smaller venues or recording.
Professional features and high-class tone
It rocks on its own, but the PRS Archon 25-watt combo amplifier is easy to integrate into virtually any guitar rig, too. You've got two switchable 4/8/16-ohm speaker output, so you can easily connect whatever type of speaker cabinet you prefer. And just like every PRS amp, the Archon has easy-access bias points on the back panel for easier tube maintenance.
