Paul Reed Smith Limited Edition Archon 50 Classic Head Black Paisley

The PRS Archon Classic Head brings the crunch and drive of ’70s and ’80s rock into a versatile two-channel design. This limited edition features Black Paisley covering, giving its retro-inspired cabinet a distinctive PRS look. Its newly voiced circuit pairs a hot-rodded Lead channel with a hotter Clean channel that moves from clear, open tones into natural breakup. Lush highs, tight low-end, and strong note separation keep chords defined and lead lines articulate as you turn up the gain.

Each channel features its own 3-band EQ, volume, and master volume controls, giving you control over both distortion and overall loudness. Bright switches add extra high-end sparkle, while global Presence and Depth controls let you shape the response—from tight and focused to fuller and more resonant.

With ample clean headroom and a built-in effects loop, the Archon Classic also fits comfortably into a pedal-based setup. It delivers classic rock character with the flexibility to explore cleaner textures or push into heavier territory.
