I have issues with random output level changes of a specific preset. In my case it depends on which preset was loaded before I switch to the preset with the output level change

Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced
- Thread starter Elmstreet
- Start date
Gig report. Direct sunlight. iPad overheated, couldn’t access playlist. Phone overheated too.
Anagram didn’t overheat

The Anagram did not disappoint! Love the scene mode so much. I used it for gain staging for different sections of the songs we play. No issues with output or out of the ordinary.
My chain goes:
Hyper luminal>sub lemon>vintage microtubes>A/O>Noble>B15 NAM
Simple chain but I got my bass to sit well in the mix with no tweaking. What I set up at home sounded as is when we played in our venue and monitored via IEMs.
wanted to ask all you brave folks who are already using the Anagram for live work ... what are you running your signal into ?
just FOH with monitors ?
bass amp/cab and FOH ?
IEM and FOH ?
???
This would apply to any modeler really. I'm guessing that after you set up a solid working block in the Anagram, where it goes from there would have a meaningful impact on the final sound. Straight into FOH with monitors will probable be different than running into an amp & cab with its inherent tone shaping. I can imagine that the Anagram (and other modelers) would be outstanding for pure IEM gigs with great FOH support.
anyway, still very interested and wanted to know what you all are doing for the full live sound.

I played all weekend with the Anagram and I think I figured out my compression settings that I like as well as the tone shaping, running a Standard eq, the Compressor/Limiter using the attack/release numbers found on the Cali76 into a capture of my old Vemuram ODS-1, a Harmonic Booster for boost and the Sub Lemon for sub sounds. Those are my three foot switches. All of this being run into a Noble and then split. The first DI out gets the Noble output and the other one gets a NAM of my Tyler Amp with a hpf
Currently using it with an IEM rig, have yet to do the amp thing
I'm looking forward to your report back when you watch actual draw during use.
Thanks for doing this.
I'm curious regarding your use of the Sweet Foot PSU and the Anagram. Are you running a number of blocks in your presets? Does it feel stable? Any other questions I should be asking?
FWIW, I'm running a Line 6 HXFX now, looking for a new power supply but want to be sure it will be adequate when I upgrade to an Anagram in the not so distant future.
thanks
Not sure why Anagram owners are brave. Anagram runs fine XLR to FOH or 1/4 to DI then XLR to FOH… just like my Line 6 Stomp XL does. I must be brave too because I’ve done this with 2 multi-fx pedals?
brave because in reading this thread I see any number of issues early adopters are having with this new device. I am not a brave early adopter and while I am interested in a multi-FX device like the Anagram (or Quad Cortex) that might simplify my gigging life, I already have a solid pedalboard for the FX I really need, so I am not feeling any serious pressure to become a brave early adopter.Not sure why Anagram owners are brave.

Nice, I’d like to pick one of those up with the grey tick. Just never be able to find one in the UK.On a mono lite silverGoing for a silver themed industrial setup haha
Anagram I’d still only ever use on it’s own off a board
If it's from west coast pedalboard, BE CAREFUL. I got one from them as well, and it was not powering in. Checked the polarity, and it was center positive....
My second gig using the anagram Saturday. 1/4 out before cab sim to return on a streamliner and darkglass 2x12 for stage. Xlr out to foh after cab sim. Im liking it so far.

Any issues are fairly minor. It's compact, powerful, and sounds great. I have no desire to be a beta tester, however.
Personally, I have to stick with it being a risky commitment at this stage. At home, I'm playing around with it a lot, and the amount of bugs I'm encountering is staggering. Complete crashes when editing the blocks or jumping through presets, requiring a full restart. Blocks misbehaving out of nowhere, etc... Last night, I used a different bass on it for the first time, and the amount of crashes were scary... I don't know why, could the bass have been an issue?!... So yeah, I really hope the beta program helps accelerate fixing all this.
I still had a great experience on stage with it on Saturday. Looking forward to gigging more with it.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had mine for a while now, used it at home, at rehearsals, and at gigs and have had zero bugs or crashes.
Interesting... I was thinking of this: I use the pitch shifter on pretty much all my custom presets... I have a suspicion that's the cause for a lot of the crashes.
