Anasounds Dystopia Delay
If you're looking for a beautiful delay with lots of options and a sound reminiscent of vintage tape echoes but without the capriciousness and unpredictability, the Anasounds Utopia Deluxe is for you.
But if you're one of those savages who likes to use gear against the grain, who likes to turn your guitar into a tool of noise that sounds like anything but a nice clean sound, if you're more Kevin Shields than The Edge and the word 'shoegaze' doesn't just refer to you looking at your shoes, then you might not find your dose of sonic brutality in the Utopia Deluxe.
What's more, you've probably been disappointed or frustrated by quite a few delays on the market, as there are very few models that can take this approach to its logical conclusion, while still being capable of producing a traditional delay with a nice warm sound and remaining ultra simple to set up.
But that was before the Dystopia. The Anasounds Dystopia is at once a great-sounding delay, a real sonic dirt machine and a pedal with intuitive, basic controls. And it's also a limited edition that you can only order for a fortnight from 1 to 17 December, so don't delay too long in joining the dark side.
At the centre of the Anasounds Dystopia
We've used the same PT2399 delay as on the Utopia Deluxe, but with a dirtier voicing reinforced by a preamp that's much crunchier and noisier than the one on the Utopia. Not only is it closer to an overdrive than a booster, but it's placed after the delay repeats for a potentially invasive and chaotic vintage sound.
Pain centre pot
This centre of pain actually adjusts the built-in modulation with four types to choose from (tape echo, vibrato, lo fi and ring mod), and for each type zones that adjust both depth and speed to go from light musical movement to absolute destruction. And that's just the beginning, because Pain also programs the built-in sequencer. It can be two, three or four steps, with a different Time setting for each step, and therefore a variation in pitch with an adjustable glide effect. As you can imagine, the result can be an absolutely fascinating tool for sound experimentation, worthy of the best modular synths.
If you've never found much in the way of 'normal' delays but don't want to sacrifice sonic grain, then don't let the Anasounds Dystopia pass you by. This beautiful box of inspiration has been designed to follow you through all your moods, even the worst ones.
