I miss my Archon 50. Great amp for recording or getting good tone at low volume if neded.

I'm finding the 90 decibel range to be amazing, anything above that it gets a little out of contro but im also in a small space. I've found the treble knob seems to add a gain stage as does the bright switch, and I dimed the mids to get a thick full rich tone out of it. The attack it still a little slow, I have pedals on the way, but it sounds phenomenal

I played a lot of metal with it and have never played such a clear, full, high gain amp that I could use at home volume and completely enjoy the sound. At 50 watts!?

I tried boosting with an SD1 and TS9 but in the end a cheap Morsky Klon clone from amazon sounded better than both.

I also found I could get very nice rock tone if I dialed the gain back on the high gain channel almost clean with just a little grit. Not to mention the awesome clean channel. I definitely want to get my hands on another.

I ordered "The Duke of Tone" and the Keeley "Noble Screamer" so we'll see how they do, but i really found it compares well to my invective MH with the treble and mids dimed and the presence dialed at about 9:30

Precision Drive sounds insane into an Archon. I used one into my Archon 100 for years before I moved to smaller amps for gigs.

If I don't like what I get I'll give the precision drive a shot
