NAD: PRS Archon Classic + PRS 2x12 Archon Stealth

[AlbertA]

It's been a while since I've owned an actual amp, so dipping my toes into it back again with the PRS Archon Classic.

Beauty of a setup, and we use the same wireless . Mega congrats!

How are you liking it so far? Don't remember what you usually play through?

Bonus points for squeaky clean floors!

Thanks! The Lekato WS-50 has been great - and its handy for recording. I haven’t tried it with higher output pickups though.

How are you liking it so far?

I'm enjoying it quite a bit - I really liked the ones I was getting from @2dor NAM captures which pushed me to get the real thing.

Don't remember what you usually play through?

I play an Axe-Fx III into 2 Atomic CLR cabs. I gotta try the 4CM method once I get some cables.

Bonus points for squeaky clean floors!

Robot vacuum/mopers for the win!

I think you have the same bamboo flooring that I have maybe?

Hah, good eye - it is indeed engineered bamboo, Antique Java IIRC?

I don’t remember the color name - just that it was cheaper than hardwood floors and my wife liked the color lol

You mic’ing this or running a loadbox?

I have some monstrous pickups, you won't have any problems. Wireless kind of balances out input signals, baselining, basically. And not detrimentally.

Congrats and enjoy!

Happy NAD! Awesome amp !

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Very nice. That's pretty small for a 2x12, I had to check the thread title again.

 

[JiveTurkey]

This rig looks great! Congrats!

 

[OrganicZed]

Happy NAD. You seem to have left that master volume a bit too low. Turn that thing up!

 

[saarangnarayan]

Dude this looks so slick! Congrats! Hope it sounds as good as all the demos online!

 

[Richard_G]

Looks nice! And cool that you were inspired to get the amp by enjoyng NAM captures from @2dor!

Do you like the cab? What kind of speakers are in there?

Edit:
And even though I really like digital/modeling/capturing gear - there are few things more exciting than a NAD spent with a new tube amp.

Mic’ing it for now - I may get the Fractal load box. And probably will need an attenuator too so I can crank the master.

Well I meant, for the transmitter - I couldn't find its max input dBu spec. I don't want my wireless transmitter to be clipping my signal.

You think so? Maybe because It's taller. The speakers are arranged in a diagonal, overlapping about a 1/3, so not quite as tall as a regular 4x12.

I'm digging it. It comes with Celestion V-Type speakers.
