{"product_id":"vs-audio-alchemy-mkii-chorus-382223","title":"Alchemy MKII - Chorus","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Analog Chorus Designed as a Pedalboard \"Classic\"\u003c\/h3\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVS Audio Alchemy MKII\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the great tradition of analog \u003cstrong\u003ebucket-brigade\u003c\/strong\u003e choruses that defined the 80s: a slightly delayed copy of the signal, modulated by an LFO, to achieve that broad and musical movement unmistakable from digital chorus. Here, the sonic heart relies on a \u003cstrong\u003eBBD 3207 delay chip\u003c\/strong\u003e, renowned for its warm grain and ability to range from silky chorus to intentionally unstable detuning textures.\u003cbr \/\u003eThe philosophy is particularly interesting: \u003cstrong\u003eanalog audio, intelligent control\u003c\/strong\u003e. The settings are managed by a microprocessor (for recall and editing), but \u003cstrong\u003eyour guitar signal remains analog\u003c\/strong\u003e and is not digitally converted. The result: the organic character of a BBD with a very modern \"preset-ready\" approach.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is the Alchemy MKII For?\u003c\/h3\u003eThis pedal targets guitarists (or bassists) who want a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-end stereo chorus\u003c\/strong\u003e capable of covering both \u003cstrong\u003ewide, bright cleans\u003c\/strong\u003e and more pronounced modulations for indie, synthwave, funk, pop, 80s rock, post-rock, or ambient. In the studio, it adds real depth without crushing the attack\u0026#59; live, its \u003cstrong\u003epresets\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003etap tempo\u003c\/strong\u003e allow you to switch between multiple atmospheres without reorganizing your entire pedalboard.\u003cbr \/\u003eIf you like to let your chords breathe (open chords, arpeggios, subtle \"always-on\" chorus) as much as creating more characterful passages (rotary-ish, vibrato\/warble, detune), the Alchemy MKII offers a reserve of textures that make the difference.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, Modes, and Preset Logic\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Alchemy MKII offers a straightforward interface designed to stay musical: four potentiometers and two footswitches. The \u003cstrong\u003e4 controls\u003c\/strong\u003e cover the essentials of an analog chorus, with a real shaping tool added: the \u003cstrong\u003eDelay\u003c\/strong\u003e control.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMix\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts the ratio between dry and modulated signals: perfect for dialing from a subtle stereo widening to a very present effect. \u003cstrong\u003eSpeed\u003c\/strong\u003e sets the sweep speed (rate), while \u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e determines the modulation depth (intensity). The \u003cstrong\u003eDelay\u003c\/strong\u003e control defines the \u003cstrong\u003ecentral delay time\u003c\/strong\u003e around which the LFO modulates: this is the key to switch from a tight \"hi-fi\" chorus to more hollow, \"phasey\" colors, or even detuning sensations.\u003cbr \/\u003eOn stage, the pedal offers a \u003cstrong\u003eLive mode\u003c\/strong\u003e (knobs act immediately) and a \u003cstrong\u003ePreset mode\u003c\/strong\u003e (recalled settings remain stable). The \u003cstrong\u003e6 presets\u003c\/strong\u003e can be recalled by foot, and you can \u003cstrong\u003eedit and save\u003c\/strong\u003e your sounds to have a ready-to-play palette from one song to the next. The \u003cstrong\u003etap tempo\u003c\/strong\u003e allows you to align the LFO pulse with your track, handy for eighth-note rhythms, Police-style parts, or ambient pads locked to the drums.\u003cbr \/\u003eFinally, the \u003cstrong\u003etrue bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures a direct signal path when the effect is off, preserving your dynamics and amp behavior.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Sound\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Alchemy MKII's signature is its \u003cstrong\u003eultra-warm and smooth modulation\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of BBD: a rich, lively movement, never \"flat.\" At light settings, it acts as a very musical \u003cstrong\u003estereo widener\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for thickening a clean tone without making it muddy. By increasing \u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e and adjusting \u003cstrong\u003eDelay\u003c\/strong\u003e, you get bolder textures: deep chorus, near-vibrato, and that famous \u003cstrong\u003e\"seasick\" detune\u003c\/strong\u003e giving a hypnotic character (great for accents or sound design).\u003cbr \/\u003eThanks to its working range, the effect can stay discreet and \"mix-friendly\" or become a central element of your sound. And since the audio control remains analog, the pedal responds well to playing dynamics: attack variations, guitar volume nuances, and a natural sense of breadth, especially in stereo.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
