Digital Amp User Interface

[gtirard]

It's funny to see the Darkglass Anagram pedal released today, it has a lot of features that I had dreamed of in this project, including:

• 6 physical knobs for quick settings, who's parameters and values are displayed on the LCD screen depending on the context (can adjust EQ, or FX parameters…)
• visualisation of the EQ curves like in a DAW
• using the looper for hands-free editing of the presets…

I also like the fact that they offer all the official Darkglass pedals and amps + others effects + ability to load NAM amp models.
I realise that I was wrong to think of an all-in-one amp+muti-effect, it's much better to keep the multi-effect separate for the amp, like they do.
Still I won't buy it, because I don't need all this, but I really love the user interface.

What do you mean by that? Amp and effects are all part of a preset.

I really like to think of amp + multi-effects. That's what I do on my guitar mini pedalboard:
Amp (2-channel): pre-eq, amp, cab, reverb. Boost: compressor, overdrive, delay
Effects: separated on/off effects, as many 3-effects virtual pedalboards as I want.
That's the way I prefer working.

My project "Digital Amp User Interface" was a real amplifier with digital preamp and effects, like the Darkglass Exponent 500, the Bergantino B|AMP, or the Boss Katana 500 Bass amp.

Now I think it's better to have all the digital things (including amp models) in a separate box.
