Just looked at the Sweetwater video and there is a Mute button when in Tuner mode. Surely that would be configurable to auto mute when you turn on the tuner?

Darkglass Anagram Multi FX Announced

Gigged this setup during some fly-dates. Can recommend
Ivan - I typically run the X7 into the B7k and then out to my preamp or head. WIll this get me close to that using the B3K and Microtubes X blocks? It looks like i should be able to accomplish something similar. Just curious what your opinion was on that.
Very tempting damn...looks like it has midi in/out but the manual says "Midi is still in development"
wonder if it will do basic midi sync to a daw for its onboard delay/reverb?

I just checked with my SW rep (who asked his in-house Anagram product specialist)…the tuner is actually always on, and currently no ability to “stomp” mute the unit. Wonder if this can be solved via fw update?

There’s a darkglass 6 band EQ block. It should help you shape everything you need as if you had the analog version of those pedals you mentioned
Thanks for the reply. That's a bit of a disappointment for me, and will probably keep from buying this unit, for now anyway. I guess I'll be sticking to my HX Effects, which has served me quite well.
If accurate, that would be a glaring oversight on Darkglass.
For sure. I can't imagine that anyone would make a tuner pedal/function that didn't mute the output.
I have to imagine that could/will be addressed if people ask for it. Also, the worst case scenario would be having a block in the signal chain that is an EQ or something with master volume set to mute. Though, that would be a waste of a footswitch. I feel like a global mute function is pretty critical anyway - making it part of the tuner (or at least an option in tuner mode) makes sense.
ETA: If they somehow fail to address or offer this option, this unit would still be in the running for me with the addition of a kill switch or ST-300 mini after. Not ideal, but it's still a massive scaling down and a fail-safe for staying in tune if the Anagram would go down during a gig...

I just watched the Nano Cortex update video and they actually say, with this update we’ve really focused on the bass side and made it a great all in one unit for bass players….. where they then show they’ve added 3 bass specific effects out of 50.
Granted some will work great on bass (compressors especially) but let’s not pretend we’re not the ugly step sister when it comes to new gear releases.
LOL. Clearly I'm not that savvy about the tools available for this stuff. When it comes to recording these days, I'm an old school home punter.
That's a great tool. I may just get it to test some of my digital pedals.
Given some of the intelligent design they’ve implemented (binding, routing, etc) there is no way this doesn’t mute when you tune.
But someone will tell us Friday when they all start landing.
I didn’t miss the QC. Everything I needed for the gig was there, but i did have to rethink my preset and which footswitches I use for what.
That required more mental focus during the gigs than anything else
Gotcha! Thank you for the insight. I appreciate it!
Perhaps our friend @IvanBassist can shed some light on this. Ivan, were you able to mute the output with the tuner on your recent Anagram gig?
I’m assuming this could be powered by a Cioks, using 4 outlets (and 3-8800 Y cables)…set to 9v or 12v?
There's been five more pages since this was posted so it may have been addressed but I agree here - the QC is also hobbled by a lot of features that were announced at launch still not being present, which I recognize at this point as being a recurring theme with Darkglass/Neural gear even if the two companies are no longer officially affiliated, which is something I should have more explicitly alluded to in my comparison of the two devices on page two.
I just asked the question re tuner muting on the MusicMan Stingray page over on Facebook (random image popped of a guy who had one and was raving about it with his darkray).
He confirmed that you can turn the muting on/off on the tuner screen.
Looks like we’re in luck!

I don't think the picture of the effects on the Darkglass website is all-inclusive. The reason is because I did notice, on one review you could see a Tone Hammer amp block and it is not in the picture of effects. Assume there are more.
I don't suppose anyone has heard if the preset switching is gapless? I'm expecting it not to be (if I recall only the axe fx 3 has gapless switching) but you never know if it's current gen tech 
....and there was much rejoicing
This is one aspect that Line 6 really gets right. Clear descriptions of the processing blocks including a citation or at least a suggestion of the device that inspired it or was licensed for it. I'd really like to see this from Darkglass. Many are obvious, but some could use clarification. Sublime versus Sublemon for instance.
