If a MT-15 can do it, can an Archon 25 keep up with 50watts?

Really wanted to test out a PRS low wattage amp at higher levels after hearing so much about how the MT-15 can stand up to a 50- or 100-watt amp.

Don't have an MT-15, but running a PRS Archon 25 amp into an Emperor 4x12 cab equipped with Eminence Governors.

Decibel Level measured with an iPad about 2 metres away. I think you'll find the results really fun!

The volume is terrifying, as you'll see! Kept expecting hundreds of cops to come in and arrest me.

I go from 7 o'clock on the amp to 3 o'clock! No studio trickery or wizardry! Audio recording using a Zoom microphone into my phone!

I most preferred the tone with the volume at 11 and 1 o'clock. Freaking brutal amp! I was planning to sell it to try and fund a Pitbull, but now I think I'll keep it and figure out how to raise the funds elsewhere.

I like what you did here and I am glad I saw this right now because I am buying either the 25 watt Archon combo or the 50 watt head tomorrow morning and can't decide which one to get..
Do you use any effects like a little Reverb pedal in the effects loop ? I have read that the effects loop is noisy and I don't want to buy a $1400 25 watt amp if the effects loop is really noisy..can you tell me anything about your or any experience with the effects loop ? I like how you ran this into a 4-12" cabinet. I already have an EVH 50 watt head and don't really wantanother head,just a good combo amp.
Any info you can give me before early tomorrow morning I would appreciate it ! By the way your PRS 25 watt combo sounds awesome through the 4-12" cabinet !
