Anasounds Utopia MK2

Anasound’s Utopia MK2 is a unique tape delay based on a PT2399 IC, with a fantastic sound and an exceptionally low noise floor.

The first version of the Utopia was released ten years ago. Then came the Utopia Deluxe, a complex, feature-packed delay that took three years to develop. Now, the Utopia Mk2 is here; it has a single PT2399 instead of the Deluxe’s ​​two. This allows for a slightly shorter maximum delay time.

The Mk2 shares the same chassis as other Anasounds pedals and features a Tilt EQ that either cuts the highs and boosts the lows, or boosts the highs and cuts the lows. It also has built-in modulation for enjoying the glory of vintage Memory Man-style modulated delay. Modulation is controlled by a three-way switch, with a vintage tape echo mode for a sweet and musical wobble, or a mode controlled by the trim pot settings inside the housing for a modulation that sounds just the way you want it.

Inside, you’ll also find a switch that lets you choose between True Bypass or Trails Bypass to prevent the effects from cutting off too abruptly when switching off. The Utopia already had an excellent reputation as a musical and user-friendly delay that won’t let you down, and the Mk2 will only strengthen that reputation.
