Darkglass Electronics Anagram Bass Multi-FX Pedal

Rewriting the Boundaries of Bass

Rethink the way you shape your tone with the Darkglass Electronics Anagram, a modular multi-FX pedal loaded with a six-core DSP architecture for supporting complex parallel FX chains of up to 24 FX blocks at once. Sporting curated DSP blocks specifically for bass, and supporting NAM and AIDA-X neural models and IRs, Anagram is built for the modern studio or live bassist.

The architecture of Anagram is designed to support future DSP blocks and upgrades, including third-party content. Real-time processing is handled by a dedicated OS, greatly reducing latency. Physical utilities include a bright 7" color touchscreen for clear and intuitive control, six endless rotary knobs for precision adjustment, and three versatile footswitches for aiding in live performance control. You can engage in even deeper editing and control, or upload your own presets, DSP blocks, and IR models with the USB-C connection and the Darkglass Suite app. The plentiful connections on the Anagram include stereo XLR and 1/4" outputs, an FX loop, 3.5mm MIDI I/O, USB MIDI, and a headphone output.

Anagram's multicore DSP engine and modern OS work together to handle real-time audio and host a handpicked library of DSP blocks. Explore bass-focused effects, load neural models like NAM and AIDA-X, or sculpt your tone with genuine cabinet impulse responses, all delivered with minimal latency.

• Amps and cabs: Explore a curated selection of classic and modern bass amps alongside bass and guitar cabinet simulations.
• Overdrive and Distortion: Access Darkglass?s renowned drive circuits and authentic distortion captures.
• EQ, Filter, and Dynamics: Sculpt your sound with equalizers, envelope filters, compressors, and noise gates.
• Modulation and Pitch: Add movement with flangers and choruses, and explore tonal heights with octavers and pitch shifters.
• Delay and Reverbs: Add depth with digital or analog delay effects, or choose from a selection of reverbs.
• Utilities and Loaders: Manage your routing and signal flow with handy utilities and system blocks.

Anagram's preset system captures every detail of your setup?from signal chain and block settings to footswitch assignments and scenes. Switch between intuitive views to inspect your chain, edit control bindings, or rename your presets. Then choose a mode to let your footswitches navigate setups, toggle individual effects, or jump between scenes.

• Looper: With one-touch control, start, stop, and overdub without interrupting your creativity. Your loops run independently of presets, switch tones without stopping playback.
• Tuner/Tempo: Tune your bass with precision, then set your global tempo without skipping a beat. Keep your delays locked to the groove. Turn the knob to set BPM between 40 and 300.
• Mixer: Set levels for line outs, XLRs and headphone output, all from a single view. Fine-tune your overall tone with the Global EQ, and add clarity across your entire rig.

Connect to the Darkglass Suite to upload and manage Cabinet IRs and neural models, refine presets and banks, and share or download via the Preset Hub. Keep your Anagram updated and ready to play.
