Ah... the "lush". What would a guitarist's life be without that famous lush that every very good modulation effect should have? The Alchemy MKII is a 100% analog Bucket Brigade Chorus, digitally controlled, each button benefiting from a small dedicated micro-processor. Developed to combine the best of both worlds, this high-end Chorus gives you unique control and possibilities.
The VS Audio Alchemy MKII is built around a compact chassis that benefits from a nice illustration. In terms of controls, Mix and Delay, Speed and Depth, as well as an additional footswitch to recall up to 6 presets and activate Tap Tempo. Inside it's high-end PCB, with perfect assembly and soldering. All powered by 9V 100mA.
Strato on the knees, we start with everything at 12:00. Immediately, we appreciate the very weak breath released by the Alchemy; very many BBD choruses available on the market clearly cannot say the same. From the first notes, we dive into a very dense, fluid and respectful effect of your signal. Indeed, the Alchemy does not erase your attack, does not attenuate the notes and the dynamics. You keep all the dynamics of your original sound with the effect that wraps it. This chorus is very warm, with a versatile sound signature. You can access the big classic 80's chorus and also produce more psychedelic sounds, bordering on vibrato or leslie with a very "watery" side and an effect that is never messy. It remains musical regardless of the setting chosen.
As comfortable with clean sound as with distortion, the VS Audio Alchemy MKII is one of the best choruses we've had in our hands. We will particularly appreciate the Mix control which allows you to maintain dynamics even on high-gain sounds; and the Delay control which will allow to give a more dramatic side, more present to the effect, by shifting the central point around which the LFO modulates.
If you are looking for a high-end and extremely complete Chorus, the VS Audio Alchemy MKII is an option not to be missed. Its contained price makes it all the more attractive.
