WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This is a very lush analog delay pedal. The modulation can be internally adjusted from subtle to quite deep and is similar in tone to a Deluxe Memory Man on the Chorus setting. The switching is smooth and silent, and the backlight power light is sublime. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. There are two pieces of 3M Dual Lock on the bottom for convenient mounting onto a pedalboard. The mahogany top is gorgeous, and the knobs and switches are all in excellent condition.

BRAND: Anasounds

MODEL: Utopia mk1 

FUNCTION: Analog Delay Effects Pedal

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for an Anasounds Utopia mk1 Handmade Analog Delay Effects Pedal w/ wood top & Box. The Utopia MK1 is a boutique, analog-voiced tape echo delay pedal handmade in France by Anasounds. It is built around a PT2399 processing chip and paired with an analog audio path, designed to replicate the warm, fluttery, and musical characteristics of a vintage Echoplex tape machine without the hardware maintenance issues. The pedal features a striking, unique design consisting of a laser-etched genuine mahogany top plate and a glowing blue "mystic eye" LED that changes intensity as you play.

SPECS:

• External Controls:
  • MIX: Adjusts the balance between your dry guitar signal and the wet delay repeats.
  • RPT (Repeats): Controls the feedback loop, ranging from a single slapback echo to full, gritty self-oscillation.
  • DLY (Delay Time): Out of the box, it alters the repeat speed from 0 up to 400 milliseconds.
  • MOD Toggle Switch: An external mini-switch that activates or completely deactivates the onboard modulation loop.
• Hidden Internal Controls: The defining feature of the MK1 architecture is its suite of internal trimpots and switches hidden under the backplate, allowing you to fine-tune the core circuit:
  • More Switch: Increases the maximum delay time from 400ms up to 600ms for darker, lo-fi ambient trails.
  • Rate Trimpot: Modifies the speed of the tape modulation, moving from a slow pitch wave to a fast vibrato.
  • Depth Trimpot: Adjusts how deep or subtle the pitch-shifting tape warble affects the echoes.
  • Tone Trimpot: A highly responsive EQ sweep that shapes the voice of the repeats from clean and bright to dark, degraded tape sounds.
  • Light Trimpot: Customizes the maximum brightness of the blue faceplate LED to match your pedalboard aesthetic.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and includes its original Anasounds box.
