The Rivals
PRS’s Archon range has turned a
corner for the guitar builder, and
captured a signifi cant chunk of the
modern rock market. The 100-watt
head has two very toneful channels
and retails for around £1,650. Hughes
& Kettner’s GrandMeister 36 head sells
for around £960 and has more features
than almost any of its competitors,
including full MIDI control over
everything. For not a lot more money,
Bogner’s coveted Shiva 1x12 retails
at around £2,250 and after 20 years
of evolution, it remains one of the
best-sounding amps money can buy. If
you’re beginning to think that perhaps
something simple might be more
up your street, Tone King’s stunning
Royalist 45 MK II can be bought in
combo format for around £1,999.
