Darkglass Electronics announced the Anagram, a flagship bass platform, on April 22, 2025¹². The company describes it as a multi-effects and amp modeler built for bassists, and it is the first product in what the maker calls a new platform¹².

The unit runs on a hexacore processor with 32-bit/48kHz audio processing, which Darkglass says delivers ultra-low latency¹². Its blocks-based architecture builds signal chains in series (12 blocks) or parallel (24 blocks) on a high-resolution touch display¹². Three control modes, Preset, Scene and Stomp, handle whole-rig switching, parameter changes and pedalboard-style operation¹². Darkglass lists a curated set of preamps, more than 50 customizable effects, a looper, a tuner and user-generated IR support, plus integration with the Darkglass Suite software and Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) capture support¹². The chassis is anodized aluminum, and the unit can be powered by 9V or USB-C (PD)¹².

A Guitar World review of a later limited edition lists the hardware as six assignable rotary controls, three footswitches and a 7-inch color touchscreen, with XLR outputs 1 and 2, 1/4-inch outputs 3 and 4, an effects loop, headphone and MIDI mini-jacks and USB-C³. That review gives power as 9-12V DC at 2A, dimensions of 210mm x 105mm x 62mm (8.2" x 4.1" x 2.4") and a weight of 815g (1.8lbs)³. It notes the expression input uses the effects loop return³.

Prices differ between the sources. The announcement gives a price of $1199.99¹²; the Guitar World review gives a launch price of $1,299³.
