The ultimate tool for bass guitar

The lines between stage use, studio work, and home recording are becoming increasingly blurred, especially with the rise of in-ear monitoring and silent stages, which has driven demand for compact live solutions that feed sound directly to the mixing desk. Darkglass has responded to these modern requirements with the Anagram, a professional bass preamp that combines a neural amp modeller, speaker simulations, more than 50 effects, a looper, a tuner, three operating modes, and extensive, ready-to-use presets – plus D.I. output and an FX loop. With high-resolution signal processing, intuitive control, and virtually unlimited tonal flexibility, the Darkglass Anagram is a true all-in-one solution for bass players on stage, in the studio, or at home.

Everything – and so much more

At the heart of the Anagram lies a high-speed hexacore processor that enables latency-free signal processing at 32-bit resolution and a 48kHz sample rate. The integrated NAM engine, developed by Neural DSP, is complemented by more than 50 effects and a comprehensive parametric equaliser, all of which can be freely arranged on the large high-resolution display using an intuitive drag-and-drop workflow. Via USB-C, the Anagram connects to a laptop or tablet for deep editing, loading custom cab simulations, and full control through the free Darkglass Suite software. In addition, it functions as a professional audio interface with D.I. output and a headphone connection, making it a powerful hub for any bass setup.

THE solution for live and studio situations

The question of who the Anagram is suitable for is easy to answer, as it is designed for virtually everyone. It provides a solution for almost any situation where a traditional amplifier is not strictly required, from practising with headphones on the sofa to home recording sessions and demanding professional use on stage or in the studio. Above all, the Anagram is an ideal choice for players seeking a high-quality, flexible all-in-one tool in a compact and portable format. With more than 50 effects – up to 12 of which are usable at the same time – and professional NAM amp and cabinet simulations, it will instantly appeal to anyone who enjoys experimenting with sound and needs a system that can adapt to constantly changing scenarios.

About Darkglass

Darkglass is a Finnish company that has focussed exclusively on the needs of bass players since its creation in 2009. It was their high-quality preamp, overdrive and distortion pedals which drove the company’s early success - and after only a few years they have become a fixture on the world scene and market for all things bass. For some time, Darkglass has been expanding their offer with their own amplifier and loudspeaker series and thus provides the modern bassist with a wide range of professional tools.

Three operating modes

Thanks to its three distinct operating modes, the Darkglass Anagram can adapt smoothly to virtually any situation and playing style, making it equally approachable for beginners and experienced users. Preset Mode is ideal for those who prefer simplicity, offering quick access to a growing library of ready-made sounds that can be easily adjusted and saved as personal presets. Scene Mode lets musicians dive into deeper sound design, with detailed parameter control that will especially appeal to players who enjoy fine-tuning every aspect of their tone. For those seeking a more traditional approach, Stomp Mode recreates the familiar feel of an analogue pedalboard, allowing up to four effects to be switched on or off directly via footswitch.

Huge little box
MarksBass 30.10.2025
I've gigged a few times now with the Anagram instead of my pedal board and it does exactly what I need it to and more...

I read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of demonstrations, and waited months after it sold out on it's initial release and was not disappointed in any way at all. It is everything I hoped and more, and so easy to use even a bass player can work it out ;O)

"They nailed it" - klingt super, tracking der Effekte besser als im Original...
Wil Fried Bass 10.05.2025
und trotzdem sende ich es zurück. Das Gerät ist toll und kostet weniger als ein analoges Pedalboard. Ich habe es mit der Band getestet und es hat super funktioniert. Es ist ziemlich einfach zu bedienen. Und warum sende ich es dann zurück? Ich habe gemerkt, dass ich entweder a) einfach gerne Bass spiele und den Ton des Instruments hören will, dafür reicht eine DI-Box oder ein Verstärker oder b) Keyboard spiele, wenn ich "Sounds" suche. Der ganze Hype über Bass Pedalboards wird zwar über Influencer angeheizt und hat seinen Reitz aber weder beim Kneipengig noch beim Auftritt auf einem Strassenfest brauche ich persönlich diese Soundvielfalt wirklich. Hier ist weniger eher mehr: Ein Bass, ein Sound, eine Lautstärke, ordentlicher Ton, ordentlich spielen. Ich spiele Pop, Soul und ein bisschen Funk.
Wer dagegen Metal-Sounds, ein wenig Jamiroquai Acid-Funk, Bootsy Collins oder Nova Twins sucht, wird beim Anagram bässtens bedient.

Wie auch immer: Das Ding ist klanglich genauso gut wie die Pedale, das Tracking der Octaver funktioniert besser als bei vielen Pedalen, es ist einfach zu bedienen, macht keine Probleme mit Stromversorgung, Störgeräuschen und Verkabelung von Pedalen: Es hat eigentlich nur Vorteile. Klare Empfehlung: Kaufen!

Il miglior pedale mai prodotto per il basso elettrico...ma......
Ferny 03.10.2025
Il pedale ha davvero dei suoni fantastici, direi di altissimo livello, si sente che hanno lavorato in una direzione che altri marchi famosi hanno trascurato su un pedale dedicato al basso.
Molto versatile e soprattutto pratico ed intuitivo, nonostante sia comunque un pedale molto complesso con un ingombro davvero contenuto.
Fino a qui il pedale merita il massimo dei voti (5 stelle).

Altra storia per quanto riguarda manualistica, gestione del pedale col software dedicato ed assistenza del sito Darkglass: qui siamo a livelli decisamente poco professionali, direi imbarazzanti per un prodotto che costa più di mille euro:

1) Il manuale e solo una patetica spiegazione di cosa può fare il pedale, ma sul "come" farle e davvero povero. Molte spiegazioni si trovano in rete, e questo non mi sembra normale.

2) Impossibile creare un account sul sito della Darkglass, per cui è impossibile registrare il prodotto per attivare la garanzia. Ho scritto alla Darkglass per questo problema, ma non mi hanno ancora risposto, ed in rete sembra che sia un problema piuttosto diffuso.

3) Non esiste un manuale per la Darkglass Suite (il programma che serve a gestire l'Anagram via PC), e anche qui molte cose non si capisce "come" realizzarle……..

Insomma, hanno fatto un pedale fantastico, ma dovranno lavorare sodo per gestire il cliente nel modo giusto, soprattutto perché il pedale non è proprio regalato…….

Proprio per queste ultime mancanze, (che non è roba da poco) ho messo solo 3 stelle, ma mi riservo di correggere la mia valutazione se e quando Darkglass dimostrerà di tenere al cliente almeno quanto fatto da altri concorrenti (vedi Boss e Line6).
