From the Tradition of Stomp Boxes to Modern Stages
Born from folk and blues culture, the "stomp box" allows you to create a bass drum beat with your foot while playing. The Ortega Guitars ANNAlog follows this tradition: a minimalist and robust solution to add organic groove without drums or complex electronics. It naturally fits acoustic artists and streamlined setups.
For Whom and For What Uses?
Perfect for singer-songwriters, from busking to coffeehouse gigs, it provides immediate rhythmic support solo or in duo. Folk, pop, country, or blues guitarists will benefit from a discreet yet present "kick" foundation, useful both in home studios and live. Its single-channel routing simplifies soundchecks and saves console inputs.
Stage-Oriented Features
Completely plug-and-play, the ANNAlog requires no adjustment: plug in and play. The
true bypass ensures signal integrity when not engaged, while the 6.35 mm jack input and output allow insertion into an existing signal chain. Its passive analog circuit eliminates power issues, reduces failure points, and integrates easily into a pedalboard.
Sound
The ANNAlog delivers a warm percussive pulse, reminiscent of a small bass drum or cajon, naturally reinforcing the groove. The response is dynamic: the firmer the foot pressure, the more pronounced the attack. This coloration remains musical and respects the guitar's clarity thanks to the true bypass, providing an organic groove that supports without masking.
