An all-tube combo offering lush clean-to-breakup tones.
Designed to capture the power, clarity and authority of a full-sized tube rig in a streamlined, grab-and-go format, the PRS Archon Classic 50 combo amp delivers professional performance without sacrificing the depth and dimensionality serious players expect. Built around the same circuit as the Archon Classic 50 head, this 50W, all-tube combo moves easily from pristine cleans to edge-of-breakup drive with impressive articulation and headroom. A Celestion V-Type 12" speaker, intuitive dual-channel layout and player-focused power amp controls make the Archon Classic 50 a compelling solution for guitarists who want commanding tone, authentic tube feel and practical portability in a single, self-contained amp.
All-Tube 50W Architecture for Authority, Headroom and Dynamic Response
At the core of the Archon Classic 50 Combo is a robust all-tube design powered by a pair of JJ 6CA7 output tubes and a six-tube JJ ECC83S preamp section. This configuration delivers the punch, clarity, and harmonic richness associated with true high-voltage tube amplification. With 50 watts onboard, the amp provides ample clean headroom for stage and studio applications while remaining highly responsive to pick attack and guitar volume changes. Played quietly or pushed into natural power-amp saturation, the Archon Classic maintains a controlled, musical response that feels immediate and expressive.
Celestion V-Type Speaker and Integrated Cabinet for Full 3D Tone
Outfitted with a 12" Celestion V-Type speaker, the Archon Classic 50 Combo benefits from a balanced voicing that emphasizes a tight low end and smooth, articulate highs. When paired with the amp’s integrated cabinet design, the result is the warmth and projection of a matched head-and-cab setup without the complexity of separate components. The sound remains broad and dimensional, with strong note separation and a focused low end that stays defined even at higher volumes, making the combo well suited for stage, studio and rehearsal environments alike.
Dual Channels with Intuitive EQ for Clean to Edge-of-Breakup Versatility
Two independent channels—Clean and Lead—offer a versatile tonal range built around clarity, touch sensitivity, and musical gain. Each channel includes its own volume control, bright switch, and three-band EQ, allowing players to dial in everything from shimmering cleans to pushed, harmonically rich edge-of-breakup tones. The bright switch provides a tasteful high-end lift, adding presence and sparkle without harshness. Separate master volume controls for each channel enable precise control over loudness and saturation, making it easy to adapt the amp to different rooms and playing situations.
Presence, Depth and Tube-Driven Effects Loop for Feel and Flexibility
Global Presence and Depth controls give players direct control over the amp’s power section, shaping both high-end response and low-frequency feel. The Presence control adds upper-mid and treble content to bring the sound forward in the mix, while the Depth control adjusts low-end resonance from tight and focused to broad and authoritative. A tube-driven series effects loop allows pedals and outboard effects to integrate cleanly, preserving signal integrity and dynamics. Combined with the amp’s high-headroom clean foundation, this design supports a wide range of pedal-based rigs.
Professional Tube Tone in a Compact, Stage-Ready Combo
The PRS Archon Classic 50 Combo delivers uncompromising tube performance in a portable, thoughtfully engineered format. Its powerful all-tube architecture, expressive dual-channel design, matched Celestion speaker and player-focused controls provide the feel and authority of a full-sized rig in a combo that’s easy to transport and quick to deploy. Whether used for live performance, studio tracking, or consistent rehearsal work, the Archon Classic 50 combo amp offers refined, professional tone built for real-world playing demands.
