Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

Would be great if someone could capture a 3leaf Doom 2, and a Vulcan Pike šŸ˜
I asked about Doom2 captures for the QC and was told that the octave up characteristics to the top end couldn’t really be captured effectively. Not sure if a NAM block would do it better than what’s in the QC, but it’s such an interesting sounding pedal I’m guessing it’d be tough to make work.
 
Anagram into tube preamp = fun

@IvanBassist, @kengleason can't you make a NAM capture of the Sushi's mojo?
I could try, but I’m planning on putting the Finally as the last pedal in the chain of a mini board to get some analog grit and also to work as a backup DI if the Anagram were to fail

cool. that's very likely how I would use the Anagram too ... only in my case it would be a Noble at the end of the signal chain.
How does that sound with your Finally at the end of the chain ... does it add anything useful to your tone. I know you were doing this with your QC too and it seemed like you eventually moved away from tubes in the chain (like when you used the DCX) for several reasons. I'm not so concerned about the Noble because I don't tour heavily and I have a great case for my small pedalboard when I do local gigs.
 
B3K and VMT are on point.
The Rat is NOT a rat at all. I love Rats, but this thing. I don“t know. Maybe because the Filter Knob is a Tone knob and does not work like in a Rat
IRL I couldn“t get along with the Duality, same thing in the Anagram. Very strange sound and not a fuzz like I am used to (Big Muff Style).
The Alpha Omicron is somehow very muddy and muffled, not what I remember and most time of my career the Alpha Omega was my main drive.
The X is what I am really happy with right now.

And then there a NAMs, there is Brassmaster which is awesome, Sansamp which is awesome, DCX which is awesome, Lusithand G&P which is awesome...
Thank you for this. Since I did not care for the Stomp drives, I am a little apprehensive about the Anagram drives.

Anyone else care to offer their assessment of the Anagram drive quality? Do the Anagram Darkglass drives sound as good as their analog counterparts?

Yep they do. And I've owned them all over the past 10+ years so I'm very familiar with them.

Yeah. The main reason why I removed the Noble from the board was due to the risk of it getting stolen from the van or it breaking (unlikely, but possible) during a tour. Specially due to the high cost and waiting time of getting one back.

The Finally brings some of that tube flavor back, but at a fraction of the cost :)
 
Are there any NAM captures you've tried and find high quality and useful? Like the DCX Bass capture? Digging through Tone3000 is a chore for bass captures.
I’ve made some more of my own gear, but I wanna test further before sharing them :)
