Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

[ShaunNecro]

Welp, after reading all of the comments, watching a ton of videos, and generally looking through everything I could find, I'm sold on this. Basically selling off my entire pedalboard to raise funds (halfway there, lol), and I'm just gonna wait until either the next batch or if someone sells their's first.

Perfect - thanks for that. I should just need to switch only between songs so should work well. Stomp mode or Scene mode seems to make most sense?

It should be fine if it’s just in between songs.

Either stomp or scene would work for this

Hello
I’ve had the Anagram for a few days now and I’ve managed to create suitable patches—no problem there, great piece of gear


However, I find that the DI output lacks some gain, especially after using the Jad Freer Capo.


Have you experienced the same issue?
Thank you
Arnaud

Have you tried raising the output? You can add +6dB in the output settings.

 

[BrianVengeance]

@hybass check output levels in your mixer. You could also add a gain block if that doesn’t do the trick.

 

[hybass]

Thank you for you answers
I am going to try both suggestions.

 

[SteveFromBerlin]

I have to say I think these octavers have the best sound and tracking between the Helix, FM3 and QC!

I also really like the way the insert FX are implemented: no pop or cut off signal, just a smoOoth fade in and fade out instead! Well done!!!

Just got mine and getting to grips with it. How would I go about sending a IR cab to the xlr output but not the 1/4 inch? I've tried adding an output block before the cab but can't seem to turn on the 1/4" output (or any outputs for that matter). Also I'd be losing global eq on the 1/4". Must be a better way I'm missing?

Yeah. The Capo has LOTS of gain on tap.

So far, I like to use the XLR out with the “master” setting disabled to get the most output possible

If you haven't used it already, try putting in a split and moving the cab to the lower path followed by the XLR output block. You'll keep the global EQ for your 1/4" out on the upper path but won't get it on the XLR, which shouldn't matter if you're sending to FOH.

Thanks for the response. I also tried that but the output block doesn't allow me to turn any of the outputs on, even though the output block is on. Wonder if that's a bug?

Any Anagram owners willing to chime in on the noisefloor for the headphone out? Very sensitive to noise in IEMs, and wondering if the Anagram is noisy in that regard.

 

[Chrishi87]

Just the usual "more gain / more treble" hiss. The QC is much worse

Thanks alot. I've just placed an order in for one. Should get it in May or June! Was planning a big pedalboard build but Im going to hold off till I get this and see if I can replace some pedals.

I’d love to hear feedback from any of the Stomp XL owners converting over to the Anagram. Wondering if it’s worth the pain to switch over for live gigging bassists.

You (and others) might want to check out @IanAllison 's live stream. The first part shows how he has been able to recreate several of his Stomp presets, and goes over how the Anagram improves things.

I think it's worth a watch for anyone interested in this device. The interview with Marco answers a lot of questions.

PS. Marco mentions that bluetooth is coming in firmware 1.2.

Have been doing a lot of my signal chain building through a pair of Plunge Unity IEMs and the unit is dead silent. You’ll need to do the usual gating and noise suppression when doing stacked or high gain, but that’s not self noise etc. My Sennheiser G4s are far, far noisier.

As I'm going tonget a midi controller. I need my cioks. Some speak of 3 câbles câbles, others of 2. But i can afford to use 4 Cioks output. Does my schema seem cohérent to you?
Afraid of burning the anagram

 

[Synh]

3 câble 8800...

 

[BrianVengeance]

The Anagram is asking for 2A @ 9v, so you’ll need 3x 660mA @ 9v (there is a current tripler cable available) or to hang a Crux off of a DC7.
