Archon version 2 possibility?

[FunkyFreeman]

Hi. I'm looking at an Archon 50 head now. But something crosses my mind as this amp series has been around for nearly a decade without any significant model update. So I want to make sure that my coming purchase will be spent on a latest design.

So does anyone hear about any possibility of new model of Archon family to be introduced in this year?

Below is current version, just for your attention only.

In terms of pure tone, I don't think this amp could be anything more than exactly what it is.

I could see them coming out with a *different* amp, but not like an Archon V2-Now-With-MIDI-and-Cab-Sims!

Whatever Doug is working on, I hope it comes in a paisley cloth.

Hmm. Good point for completely new model. Thanks!

If they change anything on that amp, it won’t be the magic Archon that it is! All Hail the almighty Archon!

MT-15 is the Archon 1.2.

This is what Doug is thinking

Looks like PRS development is largely focused on Artist models and digital modeling. Possibly Mark Tremonti will want an MT-100, maybe made in USA. That would likely include the mid boost on the clean channel. IMO this is the only change in high-gain amps I would bet on. The voicing of the MT model is slightly different from the Archon. The new Rectifier Badlander may drive additional voicing alteration. I wouldn't be surprised to see Mark rocking one of those.

Isn't that what the MT-100 will essentially be? Roots in the Archon design, but updated and enhanced?

I’d bet on the MT-100 before an updated Archon.

And lets hope, the re-introducing of the 2x12 Big Mouth cab.
