Anagram and Wireless on a PT nano back of the stage. Front of the stage a cheap midi footswitch

Similarly this one is down to £720

Tested them all, they’re all very much in the realm of tone sweeteners but for me it’s really elevated the Anagram to where I can’t fault it tonally or claim to be missing anything. The items in the pack Original no knob Sansamp Bass DI Juan Alderetes SVT DI Zerofive Audio Low Rider JHS Punchline Mojohand Cream Pie SGFX Beta Mk1 (and in combination with the Cream Pie) Cranborne Audio Camden EC1 (3 settings) My preferred settings on the Subdecay Noise Theory (Which hasn’t quite nailed the pedal but it’s better than the fuzz I had dialed in on the anagram) Essentially all my favourite pedals and preamps and I’ve now just got them as an option in the Anagram.

At the very least we get to stop the complaints over it not having had a phaser like it’s somehow the most important effect ever.

The studio figured out the issue with the captures https://www.tone3000.com/tones/steven-taylor-tone-pack-41791 I’ve not tried any of them yet but might as well share.

Yeah 4 new blocks coming…. Soon

Been in the studio today doing captures of various drives and preamps/di’s

Chorus is great, currently there is no phaser

It’s a combination of things, we live in the golden age of gear, it’s never been so abundant, available and to a degree cheap. When I started collecting pedals I was having to get custom buffer/blenders made to use fuzz pedals with active basses. There was a time when I sold all my pedals for a Line 6 M13, it was easy enough to cop decent fx from multis. The issue was amps, but as PAs got bigger and better a lot of us could go ampless. Which made the pedalboard more and more important and bigger and bigger. But until the Anagram the right combination of tone, fx, form factor, method of power and inputs and outputs just didn't exist at least for me. The Quad Cortex came close but it’s still a pretty big device if you've been running a pedaltrain nano for years. In between owning the Quad Cortex (which I hated) and the Anagram I built the board you see (along with additional things) for sale currently. This is where the problem became apparent, that board had like 3 core rigs, 3 sets of pedals I could take to a gig and get through the gig. So practice became this endless loop of comparing them and switching between them, the equivalent of going this song really needs and SVT, ah but this next one needs a Fender Bassman. Then on top of this you have more esoteric sounds that I wont use on a gig but I enjoy having, playing with, using on random songs I learn etc. So the board ends up being pretty large, you pull a few things off to do a gig, realise that no one cares and then comes a long a box, 2/3s the size of your smallest pedalboard, that you can power with your phone charger, that not only does all the combinations your current board but also any crazy signal chain you can imagine, has enough io to run a clean and dirty DI in the studio or work as an IEM mixer live. Then you look at your board and spares, price it up like Shep has, realise you've got 3+k sat there and even if/when you sell all that you’ll still have enough left over to build 2 nanos 😂….. well you end up where I am now.
