Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

I’d like to see these issues addressed:
  • Why don’t the amplifiers have a gain knob? 🤔
  • A fully functional desktop app
  • A synth block
  • A marketplace (I’d like to have a few guitar amp modelers)
  • A wider range for volume adjustments in the mixer
2nd all of this. SVT block without a gain knob is like only having decaf coffee.

I'd also add on a blend for every block, regardless of whether or not the original had a blend. I would love it if the Wah and Whammy/Pitch Bender had a blend or a way to get some dry signal.
 
The Ampeg model in Anagram is old 70's "blue face" without gain control! Like this: Invalid Link Removed

It's accurate, but I understand some people want one with gain control and model that they are more familiar with! This has been noted by the team! :)

All the newer amps have gain control that works just like the real ones!
New Ivan?

Did a bold thing today after returning the darkglass midi and getting the morningstar mc6 pro so I'd have screens and be able to see the toggle state of the 6 bindings

Shrunk it down to just those two + the JF LUCE DI, with a Lehle expression off the board. Working great now!

Last night I played with my Anagram (as usual for 4 months) and I had some noise. Not Anagram's fault, my Fender Mustang is a little bit noisy. However, today I have been playing with the same preset and I added a Noise Supressor. No noise, which is good. However, I find that it makes some kind of "clunk" and the attack feels like a higher volume, but not in a pleasent way. It is difficult to explain, but it does not sound the same. Is it normal?
 
Anyone come across an issue with their Anagram where one of the outputs not putting out a single despite using the out blocks? I've been running my Anagram bi-amped for a while without issues. Now suddenly, no output. Checked all of the cables and removed a few pedals, and still nothing...

Disregard, dumb mistake. Forgot to deactivate the effects loop block when I did some changes.

Added the noise suppressor today as the sansamp clone was being a bit hissy and didn’t experience this. Even checked toggling it on and off because I’d read your comment earlier in the day.

I suppose hard to test but does it do it if it’s the only thing on? Or if you’re running fairly minimal blocks?
 
Curious if any of you folks play baritone guitar in addition to bass - and if you have any great patches on your Anagram for that? Let me know what you think... I'm just starting to experiment with my baritone (P90's) and the Anagram.
The anagram is great for guitar if you use NAM.

This guy has the best NAM packs IMO: 2dor's NAM profiles & IR's · TONE3000

Ongoing learning curve for me with Anagram. Seeking some guidance on using an MVave midi footswitch with Anagram. Also trying to figure out how to choose between Stomp, Preset and Scene .. and how that would relate to the MVave. FWIW, I bought my Anagram used and it came with the MVave midi footswitch ... and a very handy USB-PD power bank which I'm using for power. So, I have the MVave in hand and would like to figure out how to use it.

So, I have 6 presets that I like and that will work for my current needs. 3 in 2 Blocks/Banks sequentially ... Block/Bank A 001, 002, 003 and Block/Bank B 004, 005, 006. So far, so good.

Right now I can use the Anagrams 3 footswitches to choose A1 - A2 - A3 in any order I want. But I don't know how to move to Block/Bank B (B4, B5, B6)
Can I use the MVave to be able to choose any of the 6 presets I currently have built, in any order I want ? How ?

Now, on to how to choose between Stomp, Preset and Scene.
I kind of get Stomp; 1 chain with up to 3 things (or perhaps a group of things bound to the 3 foot switches, but that's it .... or is it ?
I kind of get Preset as I described above, Banks with 3 presets I can move between .... here's where I really need to understand if/how I can freely switch between 6 presets somehow

I totally do not understand Scene vs Stomp and Preset .... what the ????

FWIW, I have done several rehearsals and one gig with the Anagram and it worked fine, although I did need to adjust some things as I went along, of course, its a new tool so adjustments are expected ... but so far, so good.

any and all help with above questions will be welcome.

thanks!
 
You can change the numbering from A1, A2, A3, B1 to just 1 2 3 4. I did it, it's just easier to understand.

I don't use Scenes or presets, only Stomp mode. But set your controller up with the correct MIDI CCs to scroll up or down a preset or scene or bank even. Use the CubeSuite software. It's confusing and buggy, but it works.

Here are the Stomp CCs I use:

This is how you set it to a normal 0-127:
