Matthews Effects Announces The Alchemist
Matthews Effects has released the Alchemist, a pedal that allows you to split a mono signal or to sum a stereo signal to mono. It does so by utilizing a pair of independent buffers that also help to restore high-end frequency loss from pedalboards and cables.
The Alchemist has two inputs and two outputs. Using just one set of each will allow you to use the unit as a buffer to maintain your tone. Leaving the black input unplugged will automatically split your signal into an always-on tuner or create a parallel mono signal path. Leaving the black output unplugged sums your stereo inputs into the red output.
The Matthews Effects Alchemist is available now with a street price of $89.95.
Matthews Effects The Alchemist Pedal Features:
| Dual Independent Buffers |
| Power requirement: 9-18v (50 mA) |
| Dimensions: 3.64″ x 1.16″ x 1.25″ |
