The future of playing, reimagined.

Pushing the boundaries of bass innovation, Anagram is our most powerful and versatile multi-effect unit yet. More than just an effects processor—it’s a revolution. With ultra-low latency, deep customization, and seamless integration into the Darkglass ecosystem, it empowers bassists like never before, from studio precision to stage power. Designed for effortless creativity, Anagram delivers studio-quality sound, advanced signal chain editing, and the groundbreaking Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) technology—all within a compact footprint that accommodates any pedalboard. Fun to use, inspiring to explore, and limitless in sonic potential, Anagram doesn’t just shape tone—it unlocks new ways of assembling music.

 

Engineered for Superior Performance

 

ANAGRAM is powered by a cutting-edge hexacore processor that delivers ultra-low latency for seamless, real-time performance. At its heart lies pristine 32-bit/48kHz audio processing, ensuring unparalleled clarity, fidelity, and an ultra-low noise floor for professional-grade sound. Paired with Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) integration, ANAGRAM allows you to deploy thousands of high-quality, user-generated amp and effect models already in existence. Every detail of ANAGRAM has been meticulously crafted to provide a curated, bass-focused experience, allowing you to shape everything from analog-inspired warmth to boundary-pushing soundscapes.

 

Infinite Flexibility, Effortless Control

 

The blocks-based architecture enables you to design signal chains in seconds with intuitive, drag-and-drop simplicity. Combine up to 12 blocks in series or split your signal and access up to 24 blocks in parallel. The high-resolution touch display provides fluid, responsive navigation as you construct your sound. ANAGRAM comes preloaded with exclusive Darkglass amp and pedal models, as well as models of other bass necessities, delivering instant access to world-class tones straight out of the box.

ANAGRAM offers three intuitive modes for controlling your signal chain: Preset, Scene and Stomp.

In Preset mode, you can instantly switch up your signal chain and harness entirely new sounds in seconds. Store your distinct presets in ANAGRAM and easily navigate banks on the fly via the footswitches.

Scene mode allows you shift between distinct parameters in your signal chain, instantly changing your sound to suit the needs of your performance.

With Stomp mode, ANAGRAM behaves like a conventional pedalboard and allows you to bypass or engage up to three individual effects at any time.

With 50+ customizable effect blocks ranging from iconic Darkglass overdrives to lush reverbs and ambient delays, your tonal palette is as vast as your imagination. Additional features like a tuner, looper, interactive global EQ and mixer provide built-in utility for any scenario, while user-generated impulse responses (IRs) ensure the ultimate personalization.

 

Built for Every Stage

 

ANAGRAM is engineered to excel in every environment, from intimate home studios to the most demanding live stages. Comprehensive connectivity options include:

· Stereo instrument input

· A stereo effects loop or dual assignable expression pedal inputs

· Balanced XLR and ¼" outputs with PRE/POST functionality

· MIDI In/Out for total control

· USB-C (PD compatible) multi-channel audio support for seamless integration as a professional audio interface

Additionally, headphone monitoring, tap tempo synchronization, tuner, looper and global parametric EQ and support for user-generated IRs make ANAGRAM indispensable for modern performance and recording workflows. Rugged anodized aluminum chassis ensures durability on the road, while a compact form factor and power via 9V input or USB-C (PD) offer unmatched portability

 

Discover the Future of Bass

 

ANAGRAM isn’t just a product—it’s an evolving platform for exploration, powered by an ever-growing library of Darkglass curated and user-generated amps, effects, and presets. Its compatibility with NAM means even more access to professional, studio quality sounds that can be used on their own, or in coordination with the included ANAGRAM blocks. While embracing limitless tonal possibilities, ANAGRAM stays true to Darkglass’ unmistakable sonic fingerprint—defined by punch, clarity, and flexibility.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your journey, ANAGRAM inspires you to push boundaries, break rules, and redefine your sound.
