What makes the Archon so special?
Inside the aluminium chassis, these Archon has heavy-duty PCB strips – emulating a turret-board-style of layout – with a chassis-mounted valve base and hand-wired front- and rear-panel components. This robust construction keeps the heat of the valves away from the circuit boards and should add considerably to the Archon’s long-term reliability.
How do I Make my Archon bass sound better?
Adding a touch of short delay-time reverb also helps magnify the Archon’s fast bass response, and sounds great for choppy rhythm playing. The 50-watt output stage has plenty of power to spare and will easily overpower most drummers in an unmic’d gig situation.
