Archon 50w Pre-Amp Tube

As Long As Your "Ohmage" Is Correct You should have No Issue. A Bad Speaker Cable Will Act Similar To A Bad Guitar Cable. If Everything Is Matched Up Accurately (Ohms) I Don't See A Cable Being The Issue. Parts Fail, Tubes Fail, Etc. I Wouldn't Worry Too Much About It As Long As The Problem Gets Sorted Going Forward.

On The Flip Side...If Ohms Are Off And You Are Hammering The Cabinet Beyond Its Capabilities And Pushing Your Amp Beyond Its Comfort Zone Then Things Can Happen. I Am Not Sensing That Is The Case With You So I Stick With My First Comment Above.

Hopefully It is Nothing That Happens Again And The Amp Sounds Great, Plays Great And Feels Great And You Can Play The Heck Out Of It. :)
Thank you for the reply
I am leaning towards just letting it fly
and you are right I don't hammer my amps
I play mostly clean using a morning glory for what little overdrive I use
and occasionally a fuzz pedal for my Billy Gibbons moods
 
Okay
The amp tech called today
a resistor failed and burned up both Power Amp tubes
He can fix it and I will get it tomorrow
But here is my new dilemma
He felt that my speaker cabs may have caused this
I am skeptical
I was playing it through my Marshall full stack MG412 (8 speakers)
My tech asked if it could be a bad cable but these were 2 brand new PRS classic speaker cables (the blue ones)
my question is
is there a way to test any of this with and ohm meter?
You can test cables for continuity with a multimeter. Just measure the tips together and sleeves together.
 
Why Downgrade? The USA Archon Is One Of The Best Amps Ever Made, IMO, For A Quality Clean And High Gain Tone In The Same Amp.
Well, word on the street is that the new Sonzera is pretty sweet. I was at a PRS event today and the guy from PRS said they are out an about a month from having more.

But, I guess we could tell him to drop a 5751 in V3 and use an alnico speaker and the 25 watt mode, and that should be some killer tones that are more what he’s looking for.

There is no 25 watt mode in the later Archons
I can live with the clean channel
I do have a Marshall cab with Vintage 30s and plan to try it eventually

But @László has me GASsing bad for a DG 30

But, but, but… buying an Archon and only using the clean channel is like buying a Z06 Vette and never getting it out of the city or over 35mph!

Seriously, 5751 in V3, turn the presence down, and dial in some great blues tones! Get a 65 watt greenback or better yet, alnico and JAM some blues with that beast!

I will have to try that
 
Of course!
any thing I can learn and hide from the wife
The Hiding Stuff From The Wife Never Ends Good. That Dog Will Only Hunt For So Long And The Juice Is Never Worth The Squeeze If You Care About Your Wife And Relationship. I Will Say This...Since You Don't Have The USA Archon...Get The Mesa TC-100 And You Have Several Quality Amp Sounds In One With 3 Wonderful Channels And Some Other Great Bells And Whistles For Those Wanting To Keep Things Quiet. :)

I’m going to stand mute.

“Fine, a plea of ‘not guilty’ will be entered for you into the record. I’m going to release you on your own recognizance to the custody of your wife.”

“Your honor, I appreciate your kindness, but…I’d rather be in jail, if it’s all the same to you.”

My wife will always spot something new, but I still attempt to sneak stuff into the house. Tradition!

She never really gets angry for more than, say, a month or two.

😅
 
I am going to have to be more careful now anyway
She just retired Friday
So she will be watching me like a hawk full time
🤣 🤣 🤣
There’s still hope!

My wife retired from teaching to have our kids, and didn’t work outside the house until the last one started school.

Then she got so sick of me she went back to work.
