Hi guys!
A buddy of mine is looking into getting an Archon as he was blown away by the sound (he played my Archon 100).
Now he can't decide to either get a 100 watt or a 50w head. As I have only the 100 watt head I could give him no advice or comparison.
Well 4 vs 2 power tubes. Bigger transformers in the 100w? Nicer faceplate on the 100w head in my opinion.
Maybe you can help us out? Sound the same? 100w better low end? We know about the switching options but nothing about different results in sound or feel.
He is more of a home player but has a band that has some gigs throughout the year...
By the way, he has a chance to get a used 50w paisley head. But are those paisley heads damaged easily? Well he wants a tough head...
Thanks for your help and advice and enjoy your day
