The Bogner Alchemist 212 offers Bogner quality at a great price. With class AB design, 2-channel operation, and onboard effects, the Alchemist 212 is golden.

The Bogner Alchemist 212 Guitar Combo Amplifier embodies a modern approach to vintage designs. From Reinhold Bogner's sophisticated arrangement of simple circuits, currents, metal and wood, rich tones emerge.

Beginning clean and fast, featuring an open top-end and tight bottom-end, Channel 1 opens gradually to present simmering blues tones. Advancing toward saturation, Crunch mode turns up the heat adding pick response and increased tonal complexity. Channel 2, achieving critical mass, invokes the famous white-hot Bogner gain: creamy, modern and screaming with sustain. Conjure the legendary Brown sound by switching the selectable power section from 40 watts to 20.

most like the tone. its great. least like that the boost doesn't actually boost anything. will combine with a fulltone ocd overdrive pedal in order to get the boost i need for those screaming leads...

Sound
Great versatile amp. i play with a rock/blues/classic rock band and it can get any tone i need. from a hendrix sound to a country sound, to a heavy sound. the distortion is great the only complaint i have is that the boost on the pedal it comes with doesn't really boost the gain or the volume... i play with a guy that has a 3000 dollar mesa rig, and he was blown away by how much better this bogner sounds.... its the real deal for the money, you can't go wrong. And for you haters that say its made by line 6, guess again, the only thing that isn't bogner on it is the reverb, that is line 6, but everything else is pure bogner... don't have to do much tweaking to make it sound good... plug in and play. oh and this thing is LOUD! i practice with the whole band with the volume set on about 3.....

Features
only complaint was that the boost on the pedal doesn't really do anything.
