Traditional loopers are frustratingly hard (drummer of 15 years), but Anagram is a powerhouse and could make things a lot easier.

Two ideas are a Quantization option that locks to the tempo or a 2-bar count-in followed by auto in and auto out (with bar number setting) for perfectly timed loops (like a DAW).

One of my favourite things to do with Anagram is to record a loop with a clean slate and then hold it like a portable game console while I add blocks to build the sound I want. If the loop isn't clean, it throws me off (also, I can't sync it to a drum loop) and trying 50+ times for a perfect loop isn't fun.

Anybody have experience with sending in equipment for warranty? I was playing a show last night and as soon as I turned my infinity combo on it started smoking, I’ve only had it since September and bought it new

If any of you have gotten these two to work together, I would appreciate knowing what you are getting the MC to do and what code setup you are using to do that.

I think I am trying to do the impossible. I have 7 blocks in my only custom preset so far, and I only want to turn on/off three of them because I have no use for all three on at the same time.

These are block 3 - Room Reverb, block 4 - Mint Chocolate Chorus, and block 5 - Flamingo Flanger. I only ever use one at a time.

I don't want to have to bend over to turn them on/off manually.

The only other way I can think to do this is to set up 3 different presets with just one of those effects on each one. Not elegant.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

hello. here some guy made comparison of these devices and i’d love to see in future updates some of the differences that he points out

cheers

The frequency range split that dark glass does is so great and usable, I end up using drive so much more frequently then ever before, and it works, not a gimmick, not over bearing, not too much, I dont Have to be too cautious or trepiditious.

I do wish that I could keep those signals separate for longer, for example for some drive stacking, applying a secondary drive just to the driven portion. Of course I could just get a secondary drive dark glass of some sort and I just might, but I do have other drives that sound great but apply to the whole range (or have filters but no splitting). I currently have the AO 500.

Hi -

I am an electronic technician (retired) who enjoys making gadgets for music-related activities. I play bass and have had an Anagram for many months now, not quite a year. I read that the Anagram needs at least a 1.7A power supply, and I am wondering why that is.

Several years ago, I built my own pedalboard power supply capable of delivering two amps, and has a volt- and ammeter on the top. I did that so I could see what each pedal was drawing, and it also helps to see if anything is starting to act up.

I stopped using that supply, the enclosure for which is a bit large, when I kept adding more pedals and started running out of real estate. The supply I was using sits under the board, so no voltmeter or ammeter.

With the Anagram becoming more useful, I have been able to eliminate essentially all my discrete pedals, which meant I had enough room to put the original large supply back on the board.

I notice that the Anagram only draws 0.64A, which is nothing remotely close to 1.7A. I am wondering if requiring a 1.7A supply is just DG being conservative or what?

Rather than have a bunch of folks guess, I would prefer to hear from someone from DG to answer this one.

Time to crank that gain 😈

The new Peggy Classic can go from clean and articulate to aggressively overdriven by pushing the Gain and Master controls. Available on KosmOS 1.16.

Have you updated your Anagram yet?

Hi hi

tldr; are you aware of any issues with using an NL2 vs an NL4 speakon? i'm having issues with my speakon connection & i'm using NL2 - considering swapping out with an NL4.

long version -

i have a darkglass microtubes x900 (new) and a dg212 cab (used). i have these conneccted with a speakon cable (new). it seemed okay the first few uses & then the audio started to cut in/out. I noticed that i could get the audio to come back on when I pushed the speakon connector (at the cab) to the side a bit. not the flexible cable/wire part, but the plastic twist-lock piece that inserts into the cab connection. i even switched the cable around to reverse the connections & the same thing happened. the issue stayed at the cab connection

i ended up sending it out for a warranty repair & they soldered and tested the speakon and it worked fine. they shipped it back, and it worked the first day, then on the weekend it started doing the same thing again.

i open up another claim & they have me ship it in. i just got it back & they said to check my cable because they couldn't reproduce the issue, but it is doing the saaaame thing.

i did a little hunting online and found a few old posts on some other forum where someone recommended getting an NL4 speakon to replace the NL2. Something about tolerance differences & how the NL2 tends to have more issues

i'm thinking of picking up one of the 4 pole NL4 cables to see if that works.

Just recently I been thinking about getting a wireless transmitter so that i could play my bass in my chair without worrying about catching my cable on something, but will the quality of the connection sound be different? I wouldn't want to risk the quality of my sound especially when it comes to things such a distortion and reverb.

Hello! I've just sent a ticket for the support, but I'm sharing since it might have happened with someone else who might help me.

Since the last update to KosmOS - 1.16.1 I believe - my Anagram gets a crackling sound from my computer, doesn't matter the way I connect them or the source of the audio.

Tried reinstalling the windows audio drivers, the Darkglass Electronics USB Audio Device driver, tried removing all the audio enhancements from microsoft on my outputs and also matching all sample size/rate between everything, nothing works.

Either connecting via USB or via bluetooth and from every source of audio I try on my PC - Chrome, Spotify, mp3 files etc - my Anagram is always giving a very crackling audio. Please help.

Hi all i was wondering if my Voodoo lab 2 has enough juice to power my anagram CORRECTLY.It powers on and run fine.I just dont want to be underpowering the unit!Thanks all!

After updating my anagram it will no longer play sound through bluetooth. My phone can still connect but when I play audio nothing happens. Is this just for me or anyone else as well?
