How close is the Darkglass Anagram Guitar Essentials Phoebe SiSO to my fave 5150-style pedal, the Universal Audio UAFX ANTI 1992 High Gain Amp?
In this video I reamp the same performance through both devices, match the settings as closely as possible and use a comparable CA V30 cab/mic sound. I compare the results in Pro Tools, explain why they initially sound different, then apply corrective EQ and listen again. The final result was much closer than I expected.
I also look at the Anagram’s processing load and explain why I suspect the Guitar Essentials amp and pedal blocks may use a neural or multi-capture approach. That is my own inference based on the behavior I observed—not confirmed information from Darkglass.
The video begins with a quick look at the new stereo delays that are now available free on the Anagram Marketplace.
