Alchemist exhibits a two-channel design, each channel with its own voice and identity. Commencement clean and quick, featuring an open top-end and tight bottom-end, Channel 1 opens gradually to present simmering blues tones that churn like spirits in a cauldron. Advancing toward saturation, Crunch mode turns up the heat adding the perfect touch of nastiness with added pick response and increased tonal complexity. Channel 2, achieving vital mass, invokes the well-known white-hot Bogner gain—creamy, present and screaming with sustain—offering everything from Brit rock right through to present metal. Plus, with variable Bright settings, each channel can be customized to match the tone of your guitar and rig.Featuring a selectable power section, from 40 to 20 watts, the Alchemist sonority quickly transforms to show a very different kind of magic. When switched to 20 watts, Alchemist undergoes a complete sonic metamorphosis, changing its harmonic complexity and feel to conjure the essence of the legendary Brown sound.Reverb and Delay, in variable styles and levels, run in parallel break from the original signal. The result is a rich, living and breathing, fully realized reminiscence capable of producing a complete tonal landscape. Alchemist also includes a four-button footswitch.
