How about the Mooer Expline? plenty of other do mini expression pedals too, check out Hotone, sonicake, Dod, valeton

I like that. I like that a lot.

I'm still using my iGig case. I must have had it for getting on for 15 years and it still looks relatively new. Such a shame you can't get them anymore. It is a bulky case however - I'm considering getting something slimmer when I fon't need all that extra storage space the iGig offer. A Mono would be great, but they're a lot of money. But fender's FB620 look's like very good value https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-fb620-electric-bass-guitar-gig-bag/

Ian Martin Allison has just put a lengthy video (and interview) together on Instagram that's worth a watch. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJDOZ1jO_wW/ I was hoping he was going to weigh in on the Anagram. I've been a Helix user for years, and his presets are the only ones I've ever paid for, so I was intrigued to see what he could do with the Anagram. Usefully, he's recreated some of his Helix presets on the Anagram.

I saw this in a youtube comments section. Gave me a laugh.

Pretty much anything with a clean blend will work for bass and retain the low end.

Interesting point of issue. Erik Arko's video mentioned right at the end: "It will get Bluetooth eventually - they're stuff implementing stuff..." Does this mean the hardware is Bluetooth ready - the specs on the Darklass produce page don't mention Bluetooth at all.

It's a shame Sennheiser have discontinued the IE 400 Pro's. So grab them whilst you can. I'm not sure what they have succeeded them with either. I wanted to get a replacement right earpiece, as mine fell apart months ago when I changed the tips. I must have pulled it wrong, and the capsule came out of the shell. While I managed to glue it back together, I didn't align it quite right, and it's never felt the same. Individual replacements were available previously, but I finally got around to ordering one this week, but it seems you can't get them anymore.

That's good to hear. I find the default settings on many Helix blocks, even the bass-specific blocks, less than ideal for bass. I assume the default Anagram block settings are more useful "out of the box."

Nice to see it comes with a case!

This might help as far as what effect and amp blocks it has. I don't think it's a complete list, though. I hope in time the Anagram will be added as demo in the app so prospective owners can see what it can do before buying.

I don't know enough about Darkglass' products, especially their digital devices, to make an informed comment, but as a totally new platform, one would hope they will work on developing and supporting it well. That said, on paper, it appears to be capable of doing everything my Helix LT does (for me), but in a more compact form factor, which is very welcome. I have considered downsizing to an HX Stomp previously, but I would struggle with the limited block count for some specific situations.

IIRC, Line 6 said they planned for the Helix platform to last around 10 years before being succeeded by the next generation. Since then, they have been great with firmware updates and have added some fantastic features and models. I'm quite grateful for that sort of roadmap, as I don't want to have to replace my hardware every other year to get new features. Quite a brave move for a hardware company. And let's not forget, the prices of new units are the same as they were 10 years ago. That 10-year estimate expires this year, so I expect to see something new from them soon. I suspect they have not been sitting on their laurels and will have a few exciting things for Helix 2.0.

Im thinking along similar lines. I tend not to be an early adopter and wait for things to mature a bit more. That said, for a v1 device and firmware, this seems pretty mature as it is. I’m still enjoying my helix LT and will continue to for the time being, but it is a bigger device than I’d ideally like, however.
