The 3-position switch chooses between: • PLATE – Emulates a classic studio plate reverb. • HALL –The sound of a large space. • SPRING – Classic spring reverb sound.

FX Loop For the best tone, set the mix control to 100%, on the effects that you place in this loop. This is a non bypass-able buffered parallel effects loop between the pre-amp and power amp circuitry, parallel to the internal effects. The dry signal never leaves the amp, ensuring the best tone. This loop is designed to work with instrument level pedals. - Page 10 Tubes Your Alchemist comes with a matched pair of 6L6 power amp tubes depending on availability. Five 12AX7/ECC83 tubes are used in the pre amp. See below for individual functions. Note: If you want to experiment with different tubes, you can reduce the potential for amp noise by 1) choosing lower gain tubes, and 2) placing any higher gain tubes earlier in the signal chain (the signall flows in order from V1, to V2, etc.).

Page 11: Changing Tubes
Changing Tubes Make sure you turn your amp off when you switch tubes and be careful, the tubes might be very hot!! Do not touch tube sockets with fingers! Even after turning your amp off and unplugging it from the power outlet there could be enough voltage stored in the capacitors to give you a lethal electrical shock. -

Fuses To check the fuses, use an Ohmmeter to make sure they’re blown because sometimes you can’t see if they are. Radio Shack is one source that carries both types of fuses. • MAINS FUSE – This is a 5x20mm Slow Blow type. 100-120 volt operation requires a 2.5A fuse. -
