Just wondering if anyone has swapped out to EL34, KT77 or maybe even big bottles like KT88 or 6550?
 
The PRS tech folks specifically told me not to run KT77s, so I don't imagine 88s or 6550s would work, either. EL34s work fine, but you may have to swap the two fast-blo fuses on the right (looking from the back of the amp) for slo-blos. (I did.)
 
I liked it a lot at first, as I'm typically an EL34-amp guy. After a while, though, I decided that the Archon was voiced so as to sound best with 6L6s, and I switched back to them. I'd love to try KT77s, but again, PRS oddly advised against it.
