Darkglass has brought out a Japan-market version of the Anagram multi-effects unit, limited to 200 units, according to a report dated October 27, 2026. The report describes it as a Japan version of a limited model that was sold to instrument shops in the US and UK.
The model is the Darkglass Electronics Anagram Guitar Essentials. It carries guitar amp modeling and guitar-oriented presets. The hardware is the same as the standard version: three footswitches, six knobs and a wide 7-inch touchscreen1. The six knobs are encoders, and they adjust parameters as well as switching effect blocks on and off and deleting or changing blocks1.
Inside, the unit uses a six-core DSP. The rear panel has an input, an effects loop, a headphone out, stereo outputs on XLR and 1/4-inch jacks, MIDI IN and OUT, USB-C and a power connector1. Editor software is also available1.
