Members Dropsix Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 I won the auction of a Alchemist Head. Should I be exited or what? Mojo sent. Mr R Gecko bought one recently after hearing some youtube vids that both he and myself agreed sounded pretty awesome. I'd say his reaction when he actually got it, was similar to my feelings towards the framus dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members n0fx Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 I LOVE my Alchemist 2x12 Combo but haven't tried any others in the line.These are not getting good reviews here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Savage Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 I won the auction of a Alchemist Head. Should I be exited or what? Seems like a pretty silly question at this point. That said, I like the Alchemist as well as the matching cab. Don't listen to the gecko, he doesn't know how to dial in an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't listen to the gecko, he doesn't know how to dial in an amp. In the Alchemist's defence, I think I may have gotten a dud but it was awful enough to pretty much put me off them for good. I would like to try another, just not at my expense this time. And I thought the 10/0/10 system was the best way to dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be your cup-o-tea, but the one I have certainly wouldn't cause the reaction you had towards the amp. Next time, try the 9.7/.03/1 system.

Members ***1776*** Posted October 14, 2009 Members Share Posted October 14, 2009 I demoed one on several occasions and i liked the tone! The cleans were quite nice (not sparkly fender nice, but more like a vox but i dug it) - There is a crunch channel on the clean and i dont care for that channel 2 much, kinda harsh not my cup of tea, but the regular clean channem i liked! The OD channel was pretty nice as well. A nice lead tone IMO, theres A lil compression to the tones but not bad. It can give you a nice hard rock to metal like tone IMO.. The effects are ok (not bad, not great) -- BTW i tried a head on a 2x12 (closed back) The 20/40 switch is a cool option imo, the amp sounds pretty good at talking type levels, one other thing i noticed is the amp is fairly 'responsive' to EQing/turning knobs, spin the knobs and the tone changes Im not saying its the greatest thing ever (far from it) but i dont think ita NEARLY as bad as some people try to make it sound, it really isnt that bad a sounding amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mhr74 Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 2 of my friends have one. Tones were alright. Seemed to have a fair amount of "hisshhh" in the highs, but I dunno if that's UE or they way the amp is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitar_dude45 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 apparently this amp doesn't get too much love in here Well, I still have my laney head...so when it arrives i'll compare them both and sell the loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brownie2 Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 no it doesn't Jerry got rid of the Alchemist within a month and couldn't remember its name Yeah lol I noticed that too when I saw that vid of him describing his rig. He probably wasn't very impressed with it, I found it odd that he was using it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orbis_Mortis Posted October 15, 2009 Members Share Posted October 15, 2009 I liked mine. It wasn't the best but it was pretty good. I have had a lot worse. But I traded mine for a Mesa Mark IIB (EQ, Reverb, simul-class) head housed in Koa plus a 1x12 V30 cab and flight cases for both, so I couldn't pass up that deal.
