Always racked and never stomped, used in a smoke free home studio. The pedal is in excellent functional condition. There is a little scratch at the very top and some residue from being racked in the product sticker on the back. The Anamesis excels at lush ambient walls of modulated swirl. It also offers super fast “creepy” modulation, beautiful warm repeats that create the feel of real space and work well with clean and overdriven tones.
