It has been a hot minute since we’ve had any gear from our friends at Anasounds in the shop, and we’re excited to jump back in today with an amazing pedal creation from them. The Utopia Deluxe Echo Delay features loads of echo tones, some warm vintage preamp oomph and exploration beyond your wildest dreams. Come along as we check out this amazing machine, won’t you?? The Anasounds Utopia Deluxe was designed for the...

The sounds of AC/DC have echoed through concert halls, dorms, bedrooms, vans, strip clubs and just about any other place you could think of for close to 50 years now. Many have tried to capture their classic sound, and many have gotten close. Today’s re-creation attempt comes to us from our pals in France, in the form of the Anasounds High Voltage Plexi Distortion. This dirty, overdriven beauty conjures up tones reminiscent of...

After recently taking a crack at the Element Analog Spring Reverb tank bundle, we were excited to toss another pedal from our favorite French gear maker onto our demo table. The Anasounds Ages Harmonic Tremolo is a monster of a pedal, in compact form, with hidden options, HUGE waves of sound and a fantastic quality build. We’ve had the privilege to review a lot of Anasounds pedals, and we’re stoked to bring you another one...

We love us some Anasounds pedals here at Pedal of the Day, and are always excited when new stuff arrives at the office. The wood-topped, carved enclosures really stand out, making a unique and instantly recognizable brand in a sea of thousands of pedals. We were particularly looking forward to today’s bundle of gear, however, as we’ve never come across anything quite like it. The Anasounds Element Analog Spring Reverb...

We love fuzz pedals around here, and the only thing better than a killer fuzz effect is….that’s right, TWO fuzzes in one pedal. The Bitoun is a Doubled Octave Fuzz from our friends in France Anasounds, and while looking seemingly simple from the bare bones control section, this guy is anything but. Based around the Shin-Ei Superfuzz pedal from the 60’s, the Bitoun Fuzz also incorporates aspects of Anasounds’...

Well, the effects marvels at Anasounds have done it again. Today’s featured pedal is a wooden-topped beauty coming to us all the way from France, and features just one lone control knob. While the word “compressor” can have negative connotations to some guitar players, those of us who love it LOVE it, and it’s always fun to try out different options and sonic scenarios. The Lazy Comp is an optical compressor...

It’s been a little while since we’ve anything in the shop for our friends at Anasounds, but today we’ve got the first of three pedals from their stellar lineup to chat about and demo. A good phaser can add that special something that maybe you didn’t know you needed in your rig, or can be take you on a beautiful, space-infused journey, depending on what you need it for. The Phase Lag is an organic, analog...

With their unique wooden tops and intriguing control layouts, the pedals from Anasounds in France are instantly recognizable, and we love to check ’em out here at Pedal of the Day. Since reviewing the Cerberus and Freq Up last year, we stumbled across a sweet, short-style delay/echo with some modulation for added depth. Producing sounds like the Echoplex, Binson Echorec and the Skreddy Echo, this is the Utopia Tape Echo Delay....

Boost pedals can be extremely easy-to-use, or they can be a bit more complex, with loads of options and controls. Each type works well for different players, and not all of us will understand each boost pedal we happen to come across. Fortunately, Anasounds out of France has created an excellent combination of these two types of boost, one that also doubles as a great little overdrive pedal, something I think a lot of boosts strive to...

Options. Sometimes, you just want a simple, straightforward pedal that you don’t have to think much about. Other times, you want the ability to have variety in your pedals’ tones, and have more controls and switches to play with and be able to easily manipulate. The Cerberus Custom Overdrive from Anasounds is sort of a mix of these two, as it both delivers a multitude of tonal options, but is still very easy to use and...
