@chaoschaoforever Год назад

I AM SO GLAD YOU FINALLY DID THIS. I remember first trying out the Mark 1 100 watt Archon in Guitar Center and thinking it was one of the meanest amps I ever tried. So I was real curious about the Mark II. I'm happy to hear it's just as mean as the original for much less money. Thanks Kyle!

@stevengoodman3498 Год назад

Great demo Kyle. I like the way it sounds. Thanks brother!

@bradnes01 Год назад

Own this amp and love it! Great video too. Do you prefer the archon over a Rectifier or are they different amps?

@nickharper8145 Год назад

I am happy you made this video. As an Archon 100 owner I have admittedly always been curious about the 50. I love my 100 loop issues be damned (but I fixed that so all is well) Love the smooth gain and saturation these produce at every volume level. Almost like a smoother 5150.

@Nofarewell 5 месяцев назад

How did you fix the loop issue?

@nickharper8145 5 месяцев назад

@Nofarewell Ebtech Hum Eliminator. Cheapest option and works like a charm for any noisey loops.

@ripley7t429 Год назад

I have one of the first run US 25's. It had a trans issue and I sent it back for warranty work. They did some tweaks to it in addition to the loop mod and fixing the transformer. When I got it back, it sounds more like the MTS when dialed in.

@vanespedals1023 Год назад

Those SD Antiquities PAF’s are awesome: super clean under high gain. Really liked them the best ❤

@KelticKabukiGirl Год назад

I have a Jackson Kelly KEQX green quilted top and a new Schecter E1 purple burst With Sustainiac, SS frets, Composite fretboard and carbon fiber binding. Its fucking amazing for a production (Go Samick Factory Korea!, Also make the LTDs) and as a bought new with case as a gift from the new GF it's the nicest gift and guitar I ajve ever owned. I fell in love with the Explorer/Destroyer/,Kelly shapes all over again after playing 33 years. I actually had a Kelly to record 2 years after I did a gig with Kyle when he was in BK down in York PA

@12_AX_7 Год назад

"Cleans are for weak people" is my new motto. And yeah the Bright switch is very clearly having an effect on the gain as well as the tone.

@booganaga123 Год назад

Hey Kyle! Would you be interested in doing a video about expanding an amp collection? Like I have a Fireball 100 but if I wanted to get another amp that does a whole different high gain thing what would be some good options? Hopefully that would be fun for other people too

@TobyKBTY Год назад

I'm not even a minute in and that is sounding PISSED. Love it. Good to know the original Archon DNA hasn't been overly tweaked or messed with.

@therileyobrien Год назад

My original 50 watt archon is one I’ll never get rid of. I have always described it as a cross between a rectifier and uberschall as well.

@TVoltG Год назад

Great sludge, doom and grungy amp.. I recorded with one on one side and a Marshall JVM and nailed some Kim Thayil style of tones..

@mountainmanmusic3846 Год назад

I've owned one for almost a year and love it! Presence has to be almost dimed for sure.

@jindrapekny448 Год назад

A very unique amp indeed with beefy lows and a smooth top end. It sounds really sludgy when you tune into those drop Z tunings.

@chrismccarthy7107 Год назад

just curious.....what kind of interface are you running the sm57 through? Sounds great. I use a couple of Focusrite interfaces, but looking to upgrade the interface or using a higher end preamp.

@belligerentamateur Год назад

just a presonus 1810c, pretty much same level of quality as most of the Focusrite stuff!

@chrismccarthy7107 Год назад

@@belligerentamateur oh wow okay. Thanks for the reply

@sixstringdisciple777 Год назад

Can confirm, been waiting for this one.

@KeithMcKissick Год назад

You mentioned that it's a mixture of an Uberschall and a Rectifier. In what ways is it similar to a Recto? Does it improve upon the Recto sound in your opinion?

@belligerentamateur Год назад

Man, I think nothing can beat the rectifier at the rectifier thing. It's a signature sound and these days, there isn't much I don't like about them. I think the bright switch engaged and pushing the treble resembles the high end aggression of the rectifier that wont be found in the Uberschall.

@KeithMcKissick Год назад

@@belligerentamateur Thanks for the reply and also for thanks for the video. 🤘🏻

for sure, the 50 is very close to the 100

@Droid96 Год назад

One difference I believe was they were supposed to have fixed the effects loop. I had heard the Mk1 had a very noisy effects loop and this one updated it. as a side note, the Pod Go model I almost always go to is based on an Archon. Love that amp sound

nah it's not.... the Archon is way more balanced and dark sounding, the mids are different..... the MT15 is voiced more like a modded Rectifier with lots of gain.

I still have my American made Archon 100 and its a beast.. The original 50 just dint sound like the 100 does.. My 100 has no loop issues oe weird noises.. Its the easiest amp to dial in, responds extremely well to guitar volume changes.. Its what I always though a rectifier should sound like.
