FedEx just made today NAD

This is my second PRS amp, the first didnt take. I'm very hopeful for this one though, it's an Archon 25. All the reviews I've seen have been positive. I do have one question......how long do I need to let it sit in the box to acclimate prior before I can play it? :vroam: :2channelh:

No time, crank that puppy up full blast and those tubes will glow, and also you will glow with the sound it produces

Happy New Amp Day!

Bangin'!

Thanks, it was a little tongue in cheek reference to the recent thread on a NGD. It'll soon be very warm in the studio as I crank up my 25 watt Archon heater..

Dead. :rofl:

 

[JustRob]

Lol. I keep my house a little on the cool side. You should bring it here so it can acclimate for a week or so, then I'll drive it back to you.\

Congrats! I might want to check out one of these myself. Maybe I need an amp instead of a guitar.

I'm getting some pretty good tone from this little guy, I'm sure with time and some serious knob tweaking it'll be happy. Just one complaint so far, it's a noisy SOB on lead channel. On clean it's nice and quiet, but on lead it hisses like crazy. My EVH & HK don't do that.

Any suggestions?

reminds me of the old Peavey 5150 first generation amps that would hiss so badly, it would be white noise. They were ungigable without a serious noise gate.

Yep, I saw those threads too, I knew you were referring to them
Sorry about the hiss on the lead channel, hopefully there is a fix down the road for that.

Put an ISp decimator on it, no more hiss

Yup. I've found that I've always needed an ISP on any of my high gain amps.

It shouldn't do that. Sounds like it could be as simple as a preamp tube that went bad during transit.

 

[Raven17]

Thanks for the advice!

 

[MistaSnowman]

HNAD...Enjoy the Archon 25!!!

+1

A simple swap should fix it. It is apparently a well sorted circuit

In 30 years of tube amp experience, I've only had one issue that could not be fixed with a valve swap - turned out to be a bad valve base connection which sent to amp into white noise territory, and was unusable in studio conditions

 

[watelessness]

Archon for the win!
