Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced
- Thread starter Elmstreet
- Start date
For some reason I thought the e500 was discontinued...
My dream digital amp would be a mix between the Anagram and e500, or: Anagram, plus Class D power section, less the footswitch (there would be an external wireless footswitch).
- It would be an all-in-one solution
- Amp-level user interface, easier to see and access (no need to bend over to change settings)
- With the 6 knobs and the wide screen of the Anagram, the amp could display by default the normal settings of a traditional amp: Gain, Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, Treble and Master (or Mid Freq and Mid Gain instead or Low Mid and High Mid). Of course, you could access to all the other views of the Anagram, but I think it's cool that it looks and feel like a normal amp when you power it.
They did? I don't find an answer like this to the comments
This was on the Insta post about the new blocks.
There were two when I checked just now. Order failed and then I nabbed the last one. Thank you
I ordered one from them earlier today. I’m not canceling my Sweetwater order until it arrives. Thanks for the tip!There were two when I checked just now. Order failed and then I nabbed the last one. Thank you
I thought about getting it, but Line6 announced a new model - and here is what is a dealbraker for me: The Anagram doesn't have a ground lift. I had so many gigs where that was a necessity for a digital modeler. A friend literally sent back the Quad Cortex and another built their own platform to solve that
I have not tested it, but in the device settings there is a gnd lift option in Anagram
headphone gain - for the lack of a volume knob
one can choose -10db, 0 or +10dB

As @jpaulo correctly pointed out; The Anagram does have a ground lift for the XLR outputs. It’s not in the most convenient location being toggled on the screen rather than via a switch, but it’s accessible with one tap of an always-on screen button, one tap of a contextual screen prompt, and a slight turn of knob number 2.
Ok that looks good. Does it only affect the XLR outputs or the other outputs as well?
The ground lift only applies to the XLR outputs as the others are TRS.
Thanks! Seems that Darkglass learned from Neural DSP mistake of insufficient ground lift.
Been a few weeks since i got the anagram and i have just done setting it up in my board the way i wanted it. pls pardon the settings as some have been moved unintentionally. the anagram is an insane piece of gear and very well thought out. Cheers to more gears!
I can tell you from experience that the only way to properly ground the Quad cortex is to 1. use another PSU that is already grounded and 2. have an XLR connected to an already grounded device. Otherwise it is quite noisy
Friend who has it literally tried everything and even talked with their customer support
