ANAGRAM also features all of the essential tools for dialing in your signal path.
Looper: With one‑touch control, start, stop, and overdub without interrupting your creativity. Your loops run independently of presets, switch tones without stopping playback!
Tuner/Tempo: Tune your bass with precision, then set your global tempo without skipping a beat. Keep your delays locked to the groove. Turn the knob to set BPM between 40 and 300.
Mixer: Set levels for line outs, XLRs and headphones output, all from a single view. Fine-tune your overall tone with the Global EQ and add clarity across your entire rig.
Anagram’s preset system captures every detail of your setup—from signal chain and block settings to footswitch assignments and scenes. Switch between intuitive views to inspect your chain, edit control bindings, or rename your presets. Then choose a mode to let your footswitches navigate setups, toggle individual effects, or jump between scenes.
Connect to the Darkglass Suite to upload and manage Cabinet IRs and neural models, refine presets and banks, and share or download via the Preset Hub. Keep your Anagram updated and ready to play!
