DARKGLASS B1X FOUR MULTIEFFECT FOR ELECTRIC BASS

A New Generation Darkglass: Signature Sound to an Evolving Platform

With the Anagram, Darkglass transfers its demand for precision and definition into a multi-effects format dedicated to bassists. The idea is not just to gather effects, but to offer a platform built to last: a dedicated operating system manages real-time audio processing and hosts DSP blocks, with an architecture designed to accommodate future features, new blocks, and third-party content.

Who Is the Anagram For, and In What Contexts Does It Make a Difference?

The Anagram targets bassists who want a versatile pedalboard without sacrificing playability responsiveness: from rock to metal, funk to gospel, to modern textures and "ampless" rigs. Its flexible routing and multiple outputs make it relevant in rehearsal, on stage (front of house + monitor), and in the studio via USB. Whether you prefer a simple and solid sound or highly crafted parallel configurations, the Anagram is designed to follow your workflow, not the other way around.

Controls, Routing, and Connectivity: Designed for Fast Building, Fine Tuning

The workflow relies on a large high-brightness touchscreen, complemented by 6 high-resolution endless encoders for precise parameter adjustment, and 3 footswitches to control performances. The DSP core supports up to 24 simultaneous effect blocks, including complex parallel chains. Sound-wise, you have effects optimized for bass, support for NAM and AIDA-X neural models in standard format, and IRs to refine cabinet sound. The connectivity (USB audio, MIDI, effects loop, and expression pedal) allows integrating the Anagram both in a traditional pedalboard and in a hybrid setup with a computer.

Sound

The Anagram aims for a clear, precise, and modern reproduction, with a fast response that respects attack and dynamic nuances. Thanks to neural models and IRs, you can switch from a very controlled "studio" sound to more organic colors while maintaining a solid foundation in the low end. Bass-dedicated effects are designed to preserve low-end clarity, even in dense configurations (modulation, delay, saturation, parallel processing), and to remain consistent in mixes as well as on stage.
