Bogner Alchemist - Mercury preset

Verified · 87/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Alchemist was Bogner's more affordable, Asian-built tube amp, produced in partnership with Line 6 and designed by Reinhold Bogner. Two channels each have their own gain, bass, mid, treble and volume plus a boost; Channel 1 adds bright, deep and a clean/crunch switch, and Channel 2 a mid-shift switch. Five 12AX7s feed a fixed-bias pair of 6L6GCs, with onboard digital effects including reverb and delay.

Schematic-derived preset files for 16 Fractal and Line 6 modelers: Axe-Fx II/XL/XL+, Axe-Fx III, FM3, FM9, and the full Helix family (Floor, LT, Rack, HX Stomp, HX Stomp XL, Native).

Gridleak extracts amp parameters from original circuit schematics using AI vision — component values, gain staging, tone stack topology, tube types — then generates native preset files for every supported modeler. Every extraction is scored 0–100 and the score is published.
