Description

The Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white is a compact, high performance delay pedal designed for players who want both character and clarity without complication. At its heart it’s a finely tuned delay unit that sits easily into your rig, ideal for guitar or bass setups, offering rich repeats, a vibrant modulation section and internal options that give you real tone shaping power without over blown feature sets.

When it comes to sound, this pedal brings you the best of both worlds: it harnesses the legendary PT2399 delay chip to deliver repeats that are warm, dynamic and full of texture, yet with the treble and definition that too many vintage styled circuits lose. You can dial in short, lively slap backs with clarity and punch, or reach into lush medium delays (up to around 400 ms) that drape your playing in echo and atmosphere. With modulation switched on you’ll get movement to the repeats, from subtle tape echo style wobble to stronger vibrato textures via internal trimpots, making solos, ambient passages and rhythm parts feel alive. That crunchy, slightly degraded echo character when you push feedback? It’s unmistakably musical.

Playing the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white feels natural and inspiring. The controls are intuitive: Time, Feedback (Repeats), Mix and Tone all under your foot, so you’re never fumbling with layers of menu settings. When you flip the modulation switch, you instantly hear how it thickens, shifts or sways your repeats. The Tails/True Bypass internal switch lets you decide whether echoes cut off the moment you disengage or continue to fade out, giving you freedom to choose how your effect exits the stage. The Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white responds to your picking attack, the dynamics of your amp, your modulation and drive sections, it behaves like a partner in your rig, not just another box. And the limited edition white finish gives your board a clean, smart look.

In terms of controls and EQ: the Tone knob operates as a ‘tilt’ filter on the repeats, turned up it gives airy, bright repeats showing off the clarity of the PT2399, dialled back it gives rounder, warmer echoes approaching tape style character. The Mix knob blends your direct signal and the repeats so you can set anything from a subtle doubling to a wash of echo. The Feedback knob sets the number of repeats, single echoes to full self oscillation textures. The Time knob sets the delay interval, quick doubling or slap back to medium trails. The three position Modulation switch (Off / Tape style / Custom via internal Rate and Depth trimpots) adds another dimension of control. All of this means you can tailor the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white to your style whether you’re playing rockabilly slap back, broad sweep ambient washes, or tight rhythm echoes.

The circuit inside is thoughtfully built. Based on the single PT2399 chip (unlike the Deluxe version which uses two) the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white returns to the simplicity and purity that made the original version loved, but with improvements: lower noise floor, refined filtering and more musical repeats. The internal trimpots allow the adventurous player to fine tune modulation speed and depth, and set the bypass behaviour (True or Trails). This gives a boutique calibre feel without being overcomplicated.

Build wise the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white is housed in a rugged all metal enclosure, designed to stand up to rehearsal, touring and board real world use. The top mounted input and output jacks (mono only) and the 9 V DC centre negative input follow conventional, pedalboard friendly layout, making it easy to integrate neatly into your rig. The clean white finish of the limited edition version adds a distinctive look while retaining the durable feel you expect from a serious pedal. 

The graphics and overall aesthetic are elegant, tasteful, balancing form and function. The white chassis gives a fresh canvas on your board, the controls are clearly labelled, and the modulation switch is easy to access but subtle in appearance. All of this means you spend less time looking down at knobs and more time playing.

The LED power indication is clear and reliable, alerting you immediately that the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white is active and working.

When you want the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white out of the signal chain, the bypass circuit gives you two options: True bypass for preserving the clearest signal with no effect when off, or Trails (buffered bypass) so that your repeats fade naturally instead of abruptly cutting off. This choice means you’re not forced into one workflow, you can set it to suit your style. The input high impedance and low output impedance ensure that the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white takes your signal without colouring it when used in standard routing positions. The top mounted jack and DC input layout makes pedalboard routing easier: your signal and power lines stay tidy, and you avoid cable congestion on the sides.

You should note the warranty/support details for peace of mind: as with all Anasounds pedals, you’re backed by the maker’s commitment to quality and after sales service, giving you the confidence that the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white is built to last, and that you’re investing in something that will stay reliable on your pedalboard for years.

In summary, the Anasounds Utopia MKII limited edition white stands out because it brings very usable, high quality delay tones into a compact, no nonsense format. It retains the musical character of analogue voiced echoes, adds modern and thoughtful enhancements, and gives you control without overwhelming you with unnecessary extras. Whether you’re chasing tight slap back for rhythm, expressive repeats for lead, or expansive textures for ambient work, this pedal deserves a serious look as an addition to your rig.

Controls

• FOOTSWITCH: Sturdy foot activated bypass so you can engage or disengage the effect mid set without fuss
• MIX: Blends your dry signal with repeats so you set anything from subtle doubling to full wash echoes
• TONE: Acts as a tilt EQ on the repeats, dial it down for warm vintage character, up for clear bright echoes
• FBK: Controls the number of echoes at minimum you get a single slapback; at maximum you reach self oscillation textures
• TIME: Sets the interval between repeats, use short values for rockabilly slapback, longer ones for ambient trails up to ~400 ms
• MODULATION TOGGLE: A three position switch that gives Off, subtle tape style wobble or deeper custom vibrato/chorus style repeats
