New amp gear - Bogner Alchemist 1x12 combo

A few weeks ago I had the chance to audition a Bogner Alchemist 2x12" combo at Guitar Center. Since I was rather impressed with what I heard and have been looking for a compact living room amp for a while, I jumped on the Microsoft/e-bay 30% cashback offer to pick up an Alchemist 1x12" combo. The Alchemist 1x12" is similar in specs... only considerable difference being that the two Celestions (G12H30 and Greenback) have been replaced by a single Vintage 30... otherwise it's got the same switchable 20/40 watt power section, two channels with independent EQ and voicing switches, footswitchable boost, and digital delay/reverb.

Here's a pic of the new Alchemist...



Overall, it's turning out to be a great living room amp, especially compared to some of the more powerful (read: obnoxiously loud) living room amps I've tried. Right now I've got it dialed in for a crisp clean tone and borderline-heavy-overdriven tone, but I know it'll work well for jazz gigs (fat/thick cleans & leads) with a bit of tweaking.
