Archon, pronounced like "cornichon"

It's not "ARK-ON"?

No, I think it IS ARK-ON

I like it. I think they should have given it a different name (to better differentiate it).

Absolutely. Archon Classic made me think it's a reissue of some older version.

Archon Cornichon, now that's a mouthful!

This is exactly the kind of thing that I would be interested in if I added a mid powered amp back into the arsenal. A good clean channel that gets crunchy, a marshallish channel with a fair amount of gain available if I want it, 50 watts, and an effects loop. Even though that sounds like a pretty obvious amp, there’s not much out there like that.

I'd still probably pay a few hundred euros more for a JVM410. Or a lot less used.

The beauty of the Archon and MT15 is the price they'll be on the used market in the year.

Zach is Fkn crushing amp demos, they are so slick. I'm still gassing for a Lynx Bad Cat v2 (build/qc issues have held me back) and it seems like there's a bit of overlap here with this new PRS. I think the Bad Cat still sounds more "for me" but this is up there in that category. Not my ideal voicing but I also don't need 100 versions of a 5150 tone so who knows what the future holds, this amp came out well imo.

His speaker choices definitely impart a "sound" on all his demos. In a good way? Less obviously than some other YTs do but still identifiable.

I more meant the video side of things, great visuals and killer playing. The sound is the cherry on the top (and arguably most important, lol).

I’ve almost bought a Suhr 212 on more then a few occasions because of Zach.

Just measured my EVH 112s and it is like an inch shy of the amp. My wallet says thank you

 

[dk_ace]

I listened to the clips, this might not be for me after all. Hard to say as I didn’t see what speakers they were using, could be the speakers weren’t my thing.

Hmmm must try the Archean in the Fractal
