Anagram Split-Signal Dilemma
Curious what people’s thoughts are on this for modern direct bass rigs.
I’m running a Darkglass Anagram with a crossover split:
clean compressed low row
effects on the top row (pitch/octave/chorus/envelope etc)
then HPF > EQ > Gentle preamp after the merge.
I originally moved the pitch and octave AFTER the crossover so my clean low-end stays untouched and tighter through FOH/IEMs, and it definitely feels punchier and more controlled.
But I know the traditional advice is usually to put pitch/octave BEFORE the split for best tracking.
Has anyone compared both approaches live in a band mix?
I’m tempted to also try removing the crossover entirely and just running one full-range chain to compare feel/simplicity vs the cleaner parallel approach.
Will test it properly live soon either way, but interested to hear what people prefer in real-world gigs.
