    Archon questions and/or issues

    I changed my Ruby power tubes to JJ's (matched 4x set). Changed V1(input) and v2 (gain 1) to Tung-Sol gold tipped. Problem is... I paired this head with a new Orange PPC212 when I got it so... Them v30's take time to break-in. Lol. Hard to compare tone when your speakers are changing their...

    Archon 50 Head developed LOUD hum...

    Changed v1 (input) and v2 to Tung-Sol gold tip 12ax7's and changed the power section to a quad matched we of JJ's. Very happy with my investment. Sad, the Ruby's (and JJ's in preamp) I pulled were less than a month old.

    What cab for an Archon?

    I've had my Archon 100 for about 10-12 weeks now. I've ran the head through my (limited) Arsenal of cabs. First, a v30 loaded Johnson (digitech) J412. I've had the cab as part of a half-stack I bought new in 1998. Always has been a boomy cab. It's no different with this head. Next... The Randall...

    What cab for an Archon?

    Need a 2x12 for the archon as well. My concerns are caught between the Stealth and the DB Big Mouth. Worried the DB BM will be too boomy. I play low tuned high gain stuff with a lot of chunking and jumping from a chunk to a higher fretted - higher pitched note. My Johnson JM412 is real boomy...

    PRS Archon 100 Tube Swap - bias question

    Tone is definitely more of what I'm looking for with the JJ's in the power section and the Tung's in V1/V2. Got a Duncan Custom 5 (sh-5 ceramic) today and plan to install ASAP into my PRS Clint Lowery. Praying for brutality. I did Bias the tubes to no higher than 30. Lowest one is about...

    PRS Archon 100 Tube Swap - bias question

    I prefer a somewhat scooped sound with a focus on brutal metal. (See Randall Satan Ola Englund) and the JJ's 6L6's and swapping V1 and V2 for the 2 Tung-Sol gold tips.... I'm that much closer. Have a Duncan SH-5 Custom coming for my go-to guitar in hopes to bring me even closer. Thanks for...

    PRS Archon 100 Tube Swap - bias question

    Thank you for the reply. I'll set the highest reading to 28. Seems like the tubes have a +\- 5 point variance. (One reads 26.x another reads 30.x). I made a vid for the tube swap. Should be on YouTube, same username. Haven't checked to see if it finished uploading. Only played for about...

    PRS Archon 100 Tube Swap - bias question

    Didn't see a new member section, maybe I overlooked it. 44 year old metalhead here..:rock:drop B, A+ is my thing. blah - on to the question. I've owned my PRS Archon 100 head now for a couple months. Not 100% getting the tone I want out of it and knowing it can do what I need it to, I'm...
