Bogner Alchemist 212 Wishes You a Safe and Great Night
We wrap up our Bogner Alchemist 212 demo-quadrilogy with J. Irving-Giles on reverb. Like a guest contestant on Iron Chef America, he serves up the jams on plate, spring and hall settings for our listening pleasure and edification. Be sure to follow along at home, or on our sister mini-site "J. Irving-Giles's quest for Iron Chef-dom."
J. IRVING-GILES: Hi. I'm J. Irving-Giles with Gearwire.Com, and I'm here with the Bogner Alchemist 212. It's a two 12" speaker combo amp with six EL6 power tubes in the class AB power section, and five 12AX7's in the preamp.
In terms of reverb, you've got your reverb amount control and three reverb types. You've got just a plate, a hall, and spring reverb, and that does it for the effects section here. One final feature here, the standby switches are pretty cool in that you can switch not only on and off standby but from 20-watt to 40-watt operation as the power section operates in both wattages.
All right. Last but not least, we got the reverb on here, crank it up 10/50% and we'll start with the plate reverb.

So you can hear that's a pretty intense reverb when it's cranked up. I'll dial it back a little more subtley, a little under the 12 o'clock mark, and turn it over to the spring reverb.

And finally, the hall reverb.

Okay, and that's the Bogner Alchemist 212. It's a very feature packed amp, offering a wide variety of tone you can achieve, switchable wattages, tubes, the works like your favorite pizzas and yeah that's it. So I'm J. Irving-Giles, thanks for watching Gearwire.Com, and everybody have a safe and great night.
